James Carville Slams David Hogg For 'Jackassery' Before They Agree On 1 Big Thing
HuffPost
The two went head-to-head in a fiery debate after the longtime Democratic strategist blasted the DNC vice chair's plans for the party.
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville went head-to-head with Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg, slamming Hogg over his approach to securing wins for the party in upcoming elections.
“You want my strategy? It’s to win elections,” Carville told Hogg on Wednesday’s episode of “The Tara Palmeri Show.”
Tensions between Carville and Hogg mounted last month when the 25-year-old’s organization, Leaders We Deserve, announced plans to spend $20 million to elect younger Democratic primary challengers in traditionally safe, blue districts.
“What we’re saying is we need to make room for a new generation to step up and help make sure that we have the people that are most acutely impacted by a lot of the issues that we are legislating on — that are actually going to live to see the consequences of this,” Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, told The New York Times.
Hogg’s message did not sit right with the 80-year-old Carville, who called the plan “the most insane thing” in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.
