80-year-old James Carville, a Democratic strategizer, went on a full blast against those 23-year-olds who advised Kamala Harris to not go on the Joe Rogan podcast ahead of the election. “When you put a campaign together and you hire young people to do work, let me tell you exactly what you tell these people — what I would tell ’em,” is not only am I not interested in your f**king opinion, I’m not even gonna call you by your name. You’re 23 years old. I don’t really give a s**t what you think,” James Carville said.
Carville said Kamala Harris had every advantage from the start of her campaign but somehow lost the election.
On the 2028 campaign, he said he would fire a 23-year-old on the spot who would discourage the candidate from appearing on Joe Rogan podcast. “If I were running a 2028 campaign and I had some little snot-nosed 23-year-old saying, ‘I’m going to resign if you don’t do this,’ not only would I fire that motherf**ker on the spot, I would find out who hired them and fire that person on the spot,” he railed. “I’m really not interested in your uninformed, stupid, jacka** opinion as to whether you go on Joe Rogan or not.”
Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump were in talks with Joe Rogan’s team to appear on his podcast but only Donald Trump appeared and apparently won the confidence of the huge viewership of Joe Rogan’s show. The real reason why Kamala Harris did not pursue her talks with Joe Rogan was the fear of backlash within the Democratic Party. And it was the younger staff who expressed reservations against Joe Rogan and his show.
“Let me tell you another error, huge f**king error. People say campaigns need to reflect progressive values. No, they don’t. Campaigns are authoritarian by their nature,” Carville said.
