Mediaite - James Carville Calls David Hogg a ‘Contemptible Little Twerp’ and Suggests DNC Sue Him

James Carville slammed Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg as a “contemptible little twerp” and suggested the DNC sue him on Wednesday.

Carville joined NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Wednesday following his call for progressive Democrats more concerned with “pronoun politics” to leave to Democratic Party. In Carville’s interview, he slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Hogg, arguing that all three are part of the problem.

All three, the Democratic strategist said, are more interested in targeting Democrats than Republicans.

Carville took particular issue with Hogg and his newly-announced venture to use millions to challenge incumbent Democrats.

Carville's time has come and gone, but no one seems to have informed him.
