Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) dared veteran political strategist James Carville to “start his own party” after Carville threatened to ditch Democrats over their association with progressive commentator Hasan Piker.
Sanders joined CNN’s Abby Phillip on Tuesday evening as progressive Democrats like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan came out victorious in their primaries. Sayed is one of a number of Democrats facing scrutiny over his relationship to Piker.
Phillip asked Sanders about one controversial statement Piker made and whether he was “comfortable” with it. She referenced Piker saying America “deserved” the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which Sanders dismissed as a “dumb statement.” The senator still argued Piker should be welcomed into the Democratic Party tent and that Democrats should stay clear of “cancel culture.”
Phillip then brought up Carville’s threat to leave the Democratic Party if Piker is being welcomed into the fold.
“Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party and the party I belong to, that Piker belongs to, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party,” Sanders said.
The senator called out his own party members who receive money from the pro-Israel lobby organization AIPAC and support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“You can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that?” he asked.
Sanders added, “We need a big tent and people like Hasan Piker should be welcomed into that, certainly.”
Carville dropped his ultimatum during an appearance on Fox News this week.
“I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker, I can tell you that right now,” he said. “If he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I’m out of here. I have no intention of ever being in the political party with that guy.”
