Democratic strategist James Carville lived up to every part of his "Ragin’ Cajun" nickname in a video critiquing young progressive staffers working the Kamala Harris campaign.

Carville was addressing reports that these younger workers threw a bit of a temper tantrum over the idea that Harris was considering an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan. 

“There was a backlash with some of our progressive staff that didn’t want her to be on it, and how there would be a backlash,” Jennifer Palmieri, an adviser to Harris’ husband, told the Financial Times.

Carville lost his ever-loving mind when addressing the idea that the person seeking the highest office in the land would be beholden to some idealistic, wide-eyed college kid.

“The vice president was thinking about going on Joe Rogan’s show, and a lot of the younger progressive staffers pitched a hissy fit. Supposedly, the campaign said that that wasn’t a determinative factor, but they did," Carville insisted.

"When you put a campaign together and you hire young people to do work, let me tell you exactly what you tell these people — what I would tell ’em,” he continued. “Not only am I not interested in your f**king opinion, I’m not even gonna call you by your name."

"You’re 23 years old. I don’t really give a s**t what you think.”

Kamala was terrified of her own staff. But she was going to be Commander-in-Chief in an increasingly volatile time. Right.

Carville, who at one point served as President Bill Clinton’s closest advisor, continued his rant by pointing out the Democrats need to stop focusing on so-called "progressive values."

"If I were running a 2028 campaign and I had some little snot-nosed 23-year-old saying, ‘I’m going to resign if you don’t do this,’ not only would I fire that motherf**ker on the spot, I would find out who hired them and fire that person on the spot," he railed. "I’m really not interested in your uninformed, stupid, jacka** opinion as to whether you go on Joe Rogan or not.”

Carville's full video rant is worth a look. He is addressing how Democrats can rally and win the 2028 election.

Carville has pointed out that Harris somehow lost the election despite having "every advantage" from the start of her campaign.

However, in a previous commentary, he noted that Team Kamala refused to reach out to male voters, saying, "We don’t need to be shouted down by Washington liberal advocacy groups or NPR.”

Carville, last spring, raised the ire of progressive staffers in President Biden's campaign by insisting there were “too many preachy females” dominating his party.

“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females … ‘Don’t drink beer, don’t watch football, don’t eat hamburgers, this is not good for you,’” he said in an interview with New York Times Opinion columnist Maureen Dowd. 

“The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’”

Taking part in an interview with Rogan might have helped Kamala's male voter problem. Would it have been enough?

We'll never know, thanks to those "little snot-nosed 23-year-olds" running the Harris campaign.

Trump did the interview with Rogan, whereas Kamala Harris did not. The interview drew nearly 50 million views on YouTube.
