Democrat strategist James Carville slammed former Vice President Kamala Harris during an interview that aired on Friday following her loss in November to President Donald Trump.

Carville made the remarks during an interview on PBS News’ “Firing Line” with Margaret Hoover while discussing the fallout of the election.

“If we were planning a Super Bowl, we started our seventh-string quarterback. That’s what happened,” Carville said of the Democrats’ picking Harris to replace former President Joe Biden at the last moment.

“You can’t address a problem unless you are honest about a problem, and none of this was inevitable,” he continued.

“Never should have happened. It was not inevitable – Joe Biden stands over this disaster like a colossus. And he just does, you can’t – he’s a great guy. ‘James you shouldn’t say that.’ He’s a wonderful man. Who cares! If you don’t win a g*****n election, you’ve done nothing. Zip, de nada. You don’t count.”

“I don’t care how good a man you are,” he added. “And till Democrats learn that and quit keeping their head in the cloud and talking goofy language that no one else talks. We got to be nice to people. Screw that! Run over ‘em.”
