James Carville Scolds Democrats For Pushing This 2-Word Message
HuffPost
The longtime Democratic strategist compared the phrase to what he calls the "three stupidest words in the history of the English language."
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville has advised members of his party against using the phrase “Abolish ICE” as protests opposing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue in Minneapolis and across the nation.
Carville, in remarks on his “Politics War Room” podcast with Al Hunt, chimed in after his co-host raised an issue with Democrats using the word “abolishing” rather than calling to reform the agency or to start “making ICE work.”
“‘Defund the Police’ are the three stupidest words in the history of the English language,” said Carville, comparing the anti-ICE phrase to a slogan that grew in popularity amid the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.“The left is universally wrong about everything.”
Carville argued that Americans want to have some form of “immigration and customs control” before noting that he finds recent actions by ICE to be “horrible.”
His remarks arrived over a week after an ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, shot and killed Minneapolis resident Renee Good in her vehicle. Heated clashes between protesters and federal authorities have continued in the Minnesota capital since.
