So you're telling all those black women and men that voted, raised money and organized for her that, qualified as she was, she's still 7th best? Yeah that sounds like a good strategy to get us to engage.
James Carville takes Kamala Harris to the woodshed by calling her a '7th string quarterback' that couldn't put together a sentence: James Carville: "We ran a presidential election, if we were playing a superbowl, we started our 7th string quarterback. You can't address a problem unless you're honest about a problem. The staggering talent that exists in today's Democrat party: People would have seen that. 'I didn't know they had people like that, that can actually complete a sentence, that actually know how to frame a message, actually have a sense of accomplishment of doing something." James Carville does not agree with the sycophants who repeated the mantra of 'Kamala Harris ran a flawless campaign' as a daily coping mechanism.

Wishing @kenmartin73 good luck as new leader of @TheDemocrats I got to work with him a bit as ED of New York Democrats. Good choice to strengthen state party infrastructure.

Remember he blamed DEI and the Black mayor of Baltimore for the bridge collapse.That's his move. He'll do it 1000 more times. But which public officials, union leaders, business leaders, lobbyists stay silent when he does it again. Time to start holding "friends" accountable too

@LisaCameBack @PaulRieckhoff Actually I spoke to it throughout the broadcast- what Dems are doing, voices they’re elevating, and activists’ hyper-local engagement. Even mentioned the great work @ChrisMurphyCT and @AOC are doing right now
