"First of all, it seems like she’s well-educated. It seems like she’s — got a lot of energy. But she, to me, she violates the first rule of politics and that is in politics, you always make it about the voters and never about yourself,”

-Carville

Black people can read between these lines.

If you're still listening to Carville in 2025? Then you cannot be useful to Jasmine Crockett, yourself, or anyone else.

Just pay him a lot of money (again), lose your election (again), and go.

His opinion on 2025 politics is as useful as his opinion on UK drill rap: he doesn't even know what he's listening to!

So you can't really get mad at him for trying to map it to an era and genre that he does understand, and then giving weird takes as a result.

The longtime Democratic strategist knocked Crockett just days after she launched her U.S. Senate bid.

Aside:

As a kid, I would give people like Carville the old reverse "You are so well spoken." I'd drag the bit out for 10+ minutes.

👴🏻You are so well spoken!

👦🏿And *You* are so well spoken!

👴🏻Huh?

👦🏿Yes! Your speech! It's amazing! Each word, so clear! And your vocabulary is so good for a, umm for --

👴🏻English is my first language!

👦🏿Me too! But where did you learn to speak? Your sentence structure is phenomenal! The way you map ideas to speech is incredibly sophisticated for, um, your people!

👨🏼OK, we get it. That's enough. You've made your point.

👦🏿What point? Did I say something wrong?

👨🏼You're calling him racist.

👦🏿WHAT?!?! No! How did you get that from what I said? I didn't say the word racist once! You're jumping to conclusions! Not everything is racism. I'm just complimenting the man on his oratory skills and solid command of the English language! He talks like us!
