James Carville Calls Out Fox News On Live TV For Playing Into This 'Giant Lie'

The longtime Democratic strategist reminded Martha MacCallum who was "beating war drums" over two decades ago.
James Carville on Friday took on Fox News after host Martha MacCallum tried to push back at his criticism of President Donald Trump as he weighs U.S. military action against Iran amid Israel’s war on the country.
The longtime Democratic strategist, when asked about Trump’s decision-making in a live Fox News appearance, reminded MacCallum of the network’s history covering the lead-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq (and the resulting war).
“I’m old enough to remember 2002 when this network and everybody else was beating war drums as loud as you could beat war drums, that there was every evidence of weapons of mass destruction. Of course, it turned out to be a giant lie,” he said of the Bush administration’s pretext for the invasion.
MacCallum interjected, “You think this is like that?”
Carville chimed back in, “I don’t know but I do know the government lied to me profoundly 22 years ago, that I do know, why would I trust this government more than I trust —.”
