Dem strategist Carville asks MSNBC, ‘How can any sane person say’
Biden’s age ‘not an issue?’
Democratic Party strategist and frequent mainstream media guest James
Carville insisted that President Biden’s age is an issue in the upcoming presidential election and called out the sanity of people denying that fact.

Democratic strategist James Carville insisted President Biden’s age is
an issue in the 2024 presidential election and called out the sanity of
people denying it.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s "The Beat with Ari Melber," Carville acknowledged Biden’s strengths as a politician but doubled down on his concerns about the president’s old age. He also dismissed his critics
that call him a "bed wetter" or "loser" for pointing out what he
believes are Biden's weaknesses.

MSNBC host Ari Melber asked if Biden’s resiliency as the Democratic
Party leader was strengthened due to the party’s strong performance in Tuesday's elections in Kentucky, Virginia and Ohio.

"Has he quieted the doubters today, or is this about something more than
him?" Melber asked.

"First of all, he’s a very dutiful, hard-working guy who stays focused. He’s had a remarkable career," Carville responded. "I really — if you
talk to these campaigns, I don’t think he was a factor. They tried to
run against him, and it didn’t work. It was not what voters were
concerned about."

He added, "So do doubts remain about the president’s age? Yeah, I mean
this – how could any sane person say that this is not an issue?"

Carville admitted that if the party sticks with Biden "people will rally
behind it," but reiterated that he has weak points and dismissed the
insults he has received for voicing them.

"But to say this does not make me into a bedwetter or, ‘Whatever,
loser.’ I mean, I understand all that," Carville said.

Biden allies and campaign strategists have used the term "bedwetter" to describe Democrats who they see as unnecessarily nervous over Biden’s re-election prospects. Former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina made
headlines with the term in September, noting that worry over Biden is
part of the Democratic Party’s history of being "f------ bedwetters."

"Did someone call you a bedwetter, James?" to which the strategist
replied, "I think that yeah, they’ve called me a bedwetter on any number
of occasions," Melber asked.

"I’m not offended by it at all. I guess I’m five percent offended. If
you really think calling me a bedwetter is going to make me change my
mind, I don’t think you know who I am," he responded. "You can’t say there’s not concerns on the part of voters and there’s concerns on the
part of Democrats."

If they push Biden for reelection, it’s just further proof that none of
these people have American’s best interests at heart. It’s all about
money, power, and control. These politicians are only there to make
themselves rich and pass bills to help the corporations who made
campaign donations.

It's not his age that's an issue, it's his policies and character.
Grassley is a decade older, fit, competent, honest, and patriotic. And
then there's Kissinger, who at 100 could make a better president than
Biden at 60.

Way to stand up James Carvel. Biden is not aging well and the
democrats are putting our country in a precarious position !! Some
people do not age well. Mr Grassley is aging very well however he is
not the president and has not stood under that pressure. Trump is not
far behind but he is agin...See more
