AOC jests at James Carville over critique of ‘preachy female’ Democrats
Clash of Perspectives: AOC vs. Carville
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and political strategist James Carville find themselves at odds over the path to propel the Democratic Party forward. The friction ignited when the New Yorker congresswoman swiftly countered Carville’s notion that the party’s “message is too feminine.”
The Gendered Debate
In a candid conversation with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, the seasoned 79-year-old strategist posited his suspicions regarding the party’s culture and its potential impact on President Joe Biden’s appeal among voters, particularly men.
“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females,” Carville remarked, mimicking a dismissive tone, “‘Don’t drink beer, don’t watch football, don’t eat hamburgers, this is not good for you.’”
He continued his critique, suggesting a gender-focused approach dominated party discussions: “The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’”
Carville spotlighted the overlooked male electorate, emphasizing the necessity for their recognition in the party narrative: “If you listen to Democratic elites… the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election. I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?’”
AOC’s Sharp Response
In a notably concise retort, Ocasio-Cortez took to social media with a witty jab at Carville’s expense: “Maybe he should start a podcast about it,” she quipped. “I hear men are really underrepresented in that space.”
Carville’s concerns extended to Biden’s age and his perceived contrast with former President Donald Trump in terms of vigor and engagement:
“Now don’t tell me that Biden has more energy or cognition than Trump because it’s evident that, yeah, Trump’s got word salads, but he projects energy,” Carville stated. “He’s insane. He’s a criminal of the first order. But he does have a little timing and a little sense of humor and knows how to move from one story to the other.”
Despite his critiques, Carville acknowledged Biden’s strengths, dubbing him “tenacious” and “demonstrably the best president that black America’s ever had.”
