JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): The president will survive. I'm worried about his team. I'm worried about Miller and I'm worried about Homan and all the crew because it looks like from what Carville's saying, come 2028, it's back to the revenge game. They will probably run on revenge in '28 and so Trump just needs to do what Biden did, just pardon everybody on the way out the door.

One common theme of 2024 election postmortems is that Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Donald Trump because her campaign was too far-left. Zeteo News editor-in-chief and CEO Mehdi Hasan took issue with that argument.

In a video posted to X, Hasan tore into Democratic establishment figures like James Carville and Adam Jentleson who said the "far left" was holding the Democratic Party "hostage." He blasted headlines in major media outlets like the Washington Post that read: Harris defeat is a stinging verdict for the left," and a New York Times op-ed titled: "When will Democrats learn to say no?"

"Are you f—ing kidding me? This is gaslighting of Trumpian proportions," Hasan said.

"There was nothing 'left wing' about Harris. I mean, the centrists literally got the presidential candidate they wanted: A tough-on-crime prosecutor who bragged about owning a gun and spoke about her love for a 'lethal' military," he continued. "A candidate who famously told migrants: 'Don't come to this country.'" And, during the one and only presidential debate, attacked Trump for not backing a bipartisan and very draconian border security bill."

Hasan went on to bash arguments that the vice president's campaign was too left-wing "ridiculous," "detached from reality" and "demonstrably and obviously false." He noted that she didn't once use the phrase "Latinx" or "defund the police" on the campaign stump, and "barely said anything about transgender rights." And he noted that in 2020, when "defund the police" was a more common saying, Democrats won the White House.

"It's as clear as day. Harris did not run a left-wing campaign. She didn't run on Medicare for All. She didn't run on student debt relief. She didn't run on a Green New Deal. And she didn't break with Joe Biden on Gaza," he said. "So when you say she ran 'left,' what on earth are you talking about?"

"This is a presidential candidate who campaigned way more with Liz Cheney and Mark Cuban than with AOC and Shawn Fain. Who listened to her brother-in-law, the chief legal officer of Uber, than to Bernie Sanders," Hasan added. "The truth is, in 2016 and again in 2020, the Democratic establishment united to block Bernie Sanders, an actual leftist, from becoming their nominee. And in 2024, due to Joe Biden's stubbornness, they didn't even have a contest, just a coronation."

"So look, the centrists, the moderates, got their candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Donald Trump: 2016, Hillary Clinton. 2020, Joe Biden. 2024, Kamala Harris. And they lost to Trump two out of three times," he concluded. "And now they're going to blame the left for that? No f—ing way."

Famed Democratic Party strategist James Carville — a longtime advisor of former President Bill Clinton — recently clapped back at a far-right X (formerly Twitter) user spreading a false claim about Carville's 2024 election outlook.

On Tuesday, political account Bad Hombre, who is a far-right social media personality with more than 114,000 followers, tweeted that Carville was overly pessimistic about Vice President Kamala Harris' chances of victory next week. Without citing any sources, he claimed that former Clinton advisor "is telling campaign advisors and high-level donors behind the scenes that Kamala Harris is headed for a historic blowout, telling them she will lose every swing state and probably New Hampshire and Virginia too."

Carville responded directly to Bad Hombre's tweet with a tweet of his own, writing: "If this a— wipe can produce one credible person who will come forward and say they heard me say anything like this I will give $100 to the Trump campaign."

In reality, Carville is particularly bullish about the Democratic ticket in 2024. He recently wrote an op-ed for the New York Times explaining that he was "certain" Harris would emerge victorious after next week's election. His primary argument was that former President Donald Trump is a "repeat electoral loser" given his record of success since 2020. He also pointed out that Harris has a clear money advantage, which can prove to be a decisive factor in the final sprint of the election cycle.

However, his third point was that it was "just a feeling" that Harris would win. He admitted that his third point was more "emotional" than fact-based, but that his feelings were based on the fact that the vice president has put together a coalition that includes a vast swath of differing ideologies like former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), who is more commonly known by her initials, AOC.

"If the Cheneys and AOC get that the Constitution and our democracy are on the ballot," Carville wrote, "every true conservative and every true progressive should get it too."

"A vast majority of Americans are rational, reasonable people of good will," he continued. "For the past decade, Mr. Trump has infected American life with a malignant political sickness, one that would have wiped out many other global democracies."

Carville also notably published advice in the New York Times for Harris to "get under [Trump's] skin" ahead of their first and only televised debate on ABC News in September. He particularly encouraged Harris to "help Trump hurt himself" by "letting Trump be Trump."

"She should let him talk over her. Not just let him but goad him into spouting insane conspiracy theories about the previous election," Carville wrote. One of the most viral moments of that debate was ABC moderators fact-checking the former president's false claims that he was the rightful winner of the 2020 election.

Bad Hombre's tweet was eventually labeled with a Community Note pointing out that Carville himself refuted the claim. Community Notes are crowd-sourced addendums on X meant to fact-check dubious claims that are spread to a wide audience.

an 12 23 ah?

after veteran Democratic strategist James Carville compared far-right Christian nationalists to al-Qaeda, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) demanded an apology. But Carville hasn't backed down, maintaining that Christian nationalists are pushing a form of religious extremism that is not unlike al-Qaeda's ideology in Islamist fundamentalism.

In a report published by The Guardian on December 24, journalist Alice Herman focuses on the links between Christian nationalism and far-right "patriot" groups such as the Patriots of Ozaukee County, Patriots United and Patriot Academy.

"Many, including the Ozaukee County organization, openly embrace Christian nationalist rhetoric and ideology, arguing that the laws of the U.S. government should reflect conservative Christian beliefs about issues like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights," Herman explains. "Their religious interpretation of the U.S.'s founding has propelled these groups not only into fights over elections administration, but also, against vaccine requirements and protections for transgender people."

Christian nationalists, Herman notes, are pushing "numerous bills to restrict voting access."

"Many patriot groups in (Wisconsin) are animated by the Christian nationalist viewpoint," Herman reports. "Patriots of Ozaukee County declares, on its website, that it views as fundamental 'truths' that 'God is our creator' and 'Jesus is our savior.' The Ozaukee County group has also hosted Constitution Alive! events touting the claim that the U.S. constitution is a Christian document, led by the Patriot Academy organization, a Christian nationalist group that also offers weapons courses."

Herman adds, "They're not alone. Patriots United, a group in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, exemplifies the typical rhetoric of the Christian Right, describing its membership as 'constitutional conservative Christians who seek to glorify and honor God' with the explicit aim of increasing 'Christian influence' in local government."
