Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville threw a predictable fit over President Donald Trump’s strike on Venezuela.
The ancient Democrat went off on the administration’s “giant diversionary tactic,” claiming the president is only trying to divert attention away from the Epstein files.
“Come on, people!” Carville ranted in a Politicon podcast over the weekend as it was announced that Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro had been arrested.

“Wake up! If you think this is anything remotely legit, or this is in furtherance of some foreign policy aim, or some aim of American interests, come on, please! Please, people! It’s all about Epstein!” Carville sputtered.
“Wake up! Get the scales off your eyes! … Think beyond just the front of your nose! This is Epstein, health subsidies…This is a giant diversionary tactic,” he insisted.
“What the f*ck has he ever done that’s not totally thought out, that is even marginally thought out?!” Carville demanded.
“Of course, now, we claim to have the moral high ground to criticize [Russian President Vladimir] Putin for the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation. Well, our case got a little bit weaker now, didn’t it?” he continued.
He went on to call out Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court for not reining Trump in.
“The Congress, they just sit there with one thumb up their a**, and one in their mouth, and they switch every 30 seconds,” Carville said. “And this Supreme Court, you gotta follow it. But never, ever respect it.”
Social media users blasted Carville and his never-ending case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
We need a new show called The Spew starring Carville, DeNiro, Griffin, Baldwin, and O’Donnel.

Wait, I thought the Somali fraud was the distraction… Or is it Venezuela now? What will it be next week and then the week after?
Leftists are such single-celled organisms.

James Carville is what happens when you get trapped in a narrative!
