WATCH: James Carville Rages Over DNC’s Continued Embrace Of Wokeness: ‘Stop This!’

Veteran Democratic Party strategist James Carville was apoplectic over the DNC’s recent summer meeting, which opened with a “land acknowledgement” and contained much of the progressive social policies Carville has long called on the party to abandon.

“Let’s talk about the land for a second,” said Lindy Sowmick, treasurer of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) and self-styled “indigenous queer woman,” at the start of the party’s annual summer meeting.

“The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate – the Dakota people – who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis,” Sowmick continued. “The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes and the Wakpa Tanka – the ‘Great River,’ the Mississippi River – for thousands of years before colonization. This land was not claimed, or traded – it’s a part of a history of broken treaties and promises. And, in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress Indigenous peoples’ cultural and spiritual history.”

Sowmick went on to encourage attendees to value land acknowledgements as “more than just checking a box.”

The display enraged Carville, who has long called on the party to abandon such displays in order to get back to winning elections. “Why are you bringing this up in an election, okay? What we did with all kinds of things, with slavery, with experimenting with drugs, what we did during what happened in the Confederacy during the Civil War, Andersonville. This is an election and the DNC is not the place to discuss this,” the former Clinton strategist ranted.

“Understand this; the DNC does not exist to right wrongs. It doesn’t exist to acknowledge the more unpleasant parts of history. It doesn’t exist to make people feel good. It exists, get this through your head, to win elections.”

Carville went on to ask how acknowledging land previously owned by Native American tribes in the Dakotas helps Democrats win elections. “Please stop this in the name of a just, merciful God. Don’t you see what’s happening? Don’t you see where this has brought us to? For God’s sakes, lady, what is Ken Martin doing, doing that? You have one job, Ken. It’s to win.

In the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, Carville was sounding the alarm over Democratic Party messaging. He was particularly concerned with the party’s pitch to working class male voters, a demographic that has provided critical support to Democrats in the past but has been increasingly moving towards the right. Carville blamed this shift on “too many preachy females” having power in the Democratic Party, pointing to the rise of trends like cancel culture, tone policing and endless HR-style lectures.

“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females … It’s too much ‘don’t drink beer, don’t watch football, don’t eat hamburgers, this is not good for you,’” he said during a Washington Post panel last year.
