Looks like even some Democrats are getting tired of the far-left circus. Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville didn’t hold back this week when he called out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and the people who agree with her, saying, “these people are more trouble than they’re worth.”
Carville made the fiery comments during an event in London on Wednesday, clapping back at something Omar said seven years ago in an interview with Al Jazeera. Back then, Omar claimed the U.S. “should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.”
Carville, clearly unimpressed, broke it down with some basic math: “Sixty-nine percent of the people going to vote are white,” he said, “Of that, 48 and a half are males. So, I don’t know, my rough math is 33 percent.”
NEW: James Carville WRECKS Ilhan Omar for attacking white voters.
“When are you people going to learn to shut up about this?!”
The Democratic Party is in shambles and one of its most famous strategists just blew up the narrative.

He added sarcastically, “Let’s go out and piss off 33 percent of the people that vote, and that’s a smart strategy. And the people that agree with her, there are people that actually agree with her. And I think this honestly, I think these people are more trouble than they’re worth.”
Ouch. When even Carville—one of the Democrats’ go-to strategists—thinks the far-left fringe is too much, it says a lot.
The comments Omar made in 2016 didn’t just fade away. They were recently dragged back into the spotlight by the conservative account Libs of TikTok, which also highlighted another clip from Omar in 2018. In that one, she said the U.S. should be “profiling, monitoring, and creating policies” to deal with radicalization among white men. Bold talk from someone who claims to be against discrimination.
Vice President JD Vance didn’t stay quiet either. He chimed in on X (formerly Twitter), blasting Omar’s past comments: “This isn’t just sick; it’s actually genocidal language. What a disgrace this person is.”

Omar, as usual, tried to clean up the mess by blaming everyone else. She claimed the clip was taken out of context, saying it was about rising white nationalism, citing an old Anti-Defamation League report.
Her spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers also rushed to do damage control, telling The Hill: “It is sad to see Carville parrot MAGA talking points over a clip taken out of context from nearly eight years ago.” She added that Carville was just helping Republicans stir up “faux outrage” against Omar.
She also threw in the classic “we’re a big tent party” line, saying Democrats should focus on beating Trump instead of fighting each other. But maybe the real problem is that not all Democrats want to be in a tent that keeps catching fire.
