In a recent New York Times piece, Democratic strategist and former Clinton aide James Carville incensed women in his party when he said “too many preachy females” are “dominating the culture” of his party.
Carville made the comments during an interview with Times columnist Maureen Dowd.
“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females … ‘Don’t drink beer, don’t watch football, don’t eat hamburgers, this is not good for you,’” he said. “The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’”
“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election. I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?” Carville said.
Carville also commented on President Biden’s low approval ratings.
“When I look at these polling numbers, it’s like walking in on your grandma naked. You can’t get the image out of your mind,” Carville said, expressing concerns over Joe’s performance with Black and Hispanic voters.
Democrats’ lead as Black Americans’ party of preference has fallen 20 points in the past three years, while their lead among Hispanic adults is at its lowest point since 2011, according to a recent Gallup Poll.
