James Carville makes crude remark about Haley Stevens over shocking Rogers endorsement
Democratic strategist James Carville used a crude insult to criticise Rep. Haley Stevens after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers. He argued the move would leave her without support from either party, while a media director accused Carville of hypocrisy because he had recently said he would prefer Republicans to retain some House seats to limit the influence of democratic socialists.
Stevens endorsed Rogers after Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed disinvited her from a planned unity event. The dispute followed an advert linking US military support for Israel with high grocery prices; Stevens called it antisemitic, while El-Sayed said his campaign had not produced it and that he disagreed with its contents. The article also reports criticism of Stevens from Hasan Piker, Mehdi Hasan and David Hogg.
In short
- Carville insulted Stevens after her endorsement of Mike Rogers.
- A media director said Carville’s criticism was hypocritical.
- The endorsement followed a dispute over an advert about Israel and grocery prices.
