James Carville's threat to the Megadonors

I'm not a techie. Of what import does this have:

According to reports, Carville added: “What I would say is, if we don’t do something about this, I’m going to put you on call block on my cell phone.”

Who cares about that?

As an aside, I ran across this quote:

James Carville: "I paid for my cancer treatment and lived. If you can't afford chemo, you deserve to die." What a weird thing to say.

James Carville is a Democrat and is protected by TOS. I guess he was working with Biden until the debate. Then the "knife" came out.

It's plain as day that they do not want Kamala in there. They want to toss the Primaries because they don't want Kamala. Who are they to say? What right do they have?

1. Did he really say that about people who can't afford chemo? Something has warped his brain.

I thought it would be something taken out of context. Like a sarcastic comment on the health care system. But, I guess not. He was treated in 2019 for prostate cancer. I could not find any other context, and the comment kind of stands all alone there.

I included it because this guy is a campaign consultant and should know better than to say such things. How can you advise someone on a debate if you yourself get trapped in double entendre? He also might be biased, as he is 79 years old, himself. Funny how everything was okay until the debate.

2. The only source for the cancer quote is an X page with a dead link.

Without independent confirmation, I wouldn't put any faith in the claim.

The source page's sub-title is "USA’s #1 party planner"

I suspect that the author has been trolled.

6. Carville is the man who complained about 'too many preachy females' in the democratic party

If he was working with Biden until the debate then that explains a lot. Personally, I think he's terrible at whatever it is he's suppose to be doing and out of touch. A lot of comments he has made over the past
