Democratic strategist James Carville and a fellow congressional representative criticize Ilhan Omar, arguing that the Democratic Party should emphasize the greatness of the United States more often.
Straight-Up Talk With Our Uncensored Assistant
Dive into the juicy banter between Democratic strategist James Carville and Rep. Ro Khanna as they take on Ilhan Omar's past controversial comments about white men.
Tuning into 'The Will Cain Show,' these political heavyweights share their thoughts on Omar's 2018 interview where she suggested that white males were causing the most deaths in the U.S.
In Thursday's episode of Politics War Room podcast, Khanna argued, "Democrats need to start every speech by saying, 'America is the greatest country in the world.'"
Carville, however, criticized the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, particularly Omar, for jeopardizing the party's cause. He said, "I am a liberal Democrat," but added, "I don't like - let's just say - the progressive wing of the Democratic Party all right." Stating, "Maybe these people are not worth the trouble. Maybe they should just go their own way."
Truth be told - Carville challenged Omar's claimed statistics, questioning, "Ilhan Omar says that white males are responsible for more deaths than anybody in the country. I have no idea whether that's true. Why say that?" "Why are we trying to p--s off one-third of the people that are going to vote?"
Carville went on to question the progressive strategy, stating, "When is somebody going to say: 'Why don't you people just learn to shut up about this, you're not doing anybody any good',"
Khanna chimed in by praising America's greatness, saying, "What Democrats should start every speech with is: 'America is the greatest country in the world. It's the most open country in the world. It's the least racist country in the world, and we want to make it better'."
In response, Carville quipped, "Tell the caucus there's no future in us running against white men."

- James Carville, during his conversation with Rep. Ro Khanna, questioned Ilhan Omar's claims about white males causing the most deaths, expressing uncertainty about their validity.
- Carville raised concerns about the potential backlash caused by such controversial statements made by Omar, commenting, "Why are we trying to p--s off one-third of the people that are going to vote?"
- Carville also questioned the progressive strategy, wondering aloud when someone would tell them to "shut up about this, you're not doing anybody any good".
- Amidst the exchange, Khanna praised America, advising that Democrats should begin every speech by stating, "America is the greatest country in the world".
- The ongoing discussion about Omar's past comments about white men sparked discussions in the realms of crime and justice, general news, and casino-and-gambling, as the controversial interviewee is known for her affection for poker and policy reform.
- In politics, policy-and-legislation, war-and-conflicts, or casino-games, every remark can be a potential turning point, much like the resurfaced profiling of white males in Omar's past comments and Carville's subsequent criticisms.
- As Carville humorously put it, "Tell the caucus there's no future in us running against white men". However, the future of Omar's political career may depend on how she tackles these criticisms and her changing profile in the public eye.
