I wrote earlier about how Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) cursed out Democratic consultant James Carville, telling him to, "Shut the f**k up" about Biden's low approval and concerns that Biden will lose in 2024.
And I’m very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the president. ... I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the fuck up. Like I said, my man hasn’t been relevant since grunge was a thing. And I don’t know why he believes it’s helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I’ll never understand that.
Fetterman also took another shot at Gov. Gavin Newsom running a shadow campaign for the presidency.
The Democratic division is getting delicious and now Carville has fired back some more at Fetterman. He had previously responded he was glad Fetterman was "feeling better" and noted that for someone whom Fetterman called not relevant, he was being asked for help from people like Sen. Bob Casey, Fetterman's Pennsylvania Senate colleague.
But now Carville has more to say, and in the process, he trips up Biden a bit more.
"Maybe I'm dim, I'm soon to be 80," Carville told Fox News Digital in response to Fetterman's insults as to his relevancy. "Maybe I'm not relevant — I can deal with that," he added, laughing.
But when pressed about his personal relationship with Fetterman, Carville said that he doesn't know much about the Pennsylvania senator. [....]
"I've never met this man, to be honest with you," Carville said of Fetterman. "But I guess he's the proclaimer of relevance in modern American politics."
"Ironically, from what I hear in Pennsylvania, [Fetterman's] kind of sore because Shapiro had to drag him across the finish line," he said.
The funny thing is Carville talking about maybe being dim on the subject because he's 80. But Biden — the subject of the battle — is 81, with all kinds of examples of being incoherent. So is Biden also dim and irrelevant? And he's right that Fetterman barely got across the finish line, and was helped by the vote for Shapiro, although now, he's giving Democrats some agita by what he has to say on a variety of subjects.
There may be an added reason that Fetterman is angry with Carville in addition to the Biden issue — that a Carville PAC backed an opponent against Fetterman.
As amusing and correct Fetterman is here, there’s some history between the two. One of Carville’s PACs spent against him when he was running for Senate and opted to back Lamb instead.

But as the junior senator from PA says, no use in griping about Biden. He’ll be the nominee. https://t.co/LHWaumVCoK
But, in this particular battle, I suspect Carville will be right again if the Democrats end up going all-in on Biden, as they appear to be doing.
