Democrats and their media allies are trying to sell Kamala Harris as the “joy” candidate.
But there are some ugly feuds bubbling up inside the Democrat Party.
And James Carville uttered four words that had John Fetterman bracing for a heavyweight fight.
James Carville trying to collect John Fetterman’s scalp
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has been unpredictable in his rhetoric since taking office.
Fetterman ran as Bernie Sanders in a hoodie, then shed the label of “progressive” after fully recovering from his stroke.
He found himself isolated within the Democrat Party when he became one of the few outspoken defenders of Joe Biden when party elites were trying to force him out of the 2024 Presidential race.
And Fetterman has been in a feud with former Bill Clinton adviser and Democrat strategist James Carville that finally boiled over.
Carville ominously said on his Politics War Room podcast that he would “deal with” Fetterman after the election.
“One of the great backstabbers in modern Democratic politics is John Fetterman,” Carville declared. “But I’m going to wait ’til after the election to deal with him. But he’s somebody that must be dealt with, and must be dealt with in real terms.”
Fetterman reportedly worked behind the scenes to torpedo Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as a potential running mate pick for Kamala Harris, despite his 61% approval rating in the state.
Harris ultimately went with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a self-described “progressive”
Fetterman and Shapiro supposedly bumped heads when they served together on the Pennsylvania parole board.
Fetterman, more in line with pro-crime policies on the hard Left of the Democrat Party, wanted to show more leniency than Shapiro.
Fetterman’s team allegedly told Harris’ vetting team that Shaprio was primarily interested in boosting his own career.
Carville’s co-host Al Hunt accused Fetterman of attempting to “sandbag” the Pennsylvania Governor.
“And, of course, the reason he’s in the United States Senate is because of Shapiro,” Carville said. “If you look at the Pennsylvania election returns, 2022, and you’ll get the idea of how Josh dragged this guy across the finish line.”
Carville was one of the Democrats lobbying for Harris to select Shapiro because of his more moderate credentials, his 61% approval rating in the state, and his potential to deliver the biggest swing state this election cycle.
Fetterman denies role in Veepstakes that ended up with Tim Walz the winner
Fetterman told MSNBC that he had nothing to do with Shapiro not getting the nod.
“I just don’t understand why we’re talking about a choice that was already made. I was very clear that the Vice President is perfectly capable of picking whoever they want,” Fetterman stated. “And [Walz]’s right on the stage right now in Wisconsin, and why are we talking about this weird stuff? I don’t understand that.”
Carville was one of the first Democrats to publicly sound the alarm on Biden’s chances to defeat Donald Trump in the rematch.
That’s when Fetterman trained his sights on Carville.
“And I’m very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the President . . . I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the f*** up,” Fetterman said to POLITICO. “Like I said, my man hasn’t been relevant since grunge was a thing. And I don’t know why he believes it’s helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I’ll never understand that.”
After the November election, look out for the showdown between Fetterman and Carville.
Fetterman better be careful because Carville plays nasty.
