Democratic strategist James Carville unleashed a torrent of vulgar insults against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) on Sunday, comparing her to a "used condom" after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers.
Carville made the remarks on the "Politicon" podcast, expressing his disgust with Stevens' decision to back Rogers in the Michigan Senate race over the Democratic nominee, Abdul El-Sayed. "I mean, lady, if you're going to sell your soul, you got to get more for it than a f---ing cheeseburger, OK," Carville said. "I'm just telling you that you got to put some kind of a price on yourself for some kind of a g------ self-pride, but your political career is over."
He further elaborated, "If you think that these Republicans are going to treat you as anything other than what they view you as, and that is, let me just break the news to you, a used condom. The Democrats don't even think you're worth a used condom. But that's about where you are."
Stevens' endorsement came after a dispute over a political advertisement from Rebellion PAC, founded by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur. The ad linked U.S. military support for Israel to high grocery prices, prompting Stevens to label it antisemitic and demand El-Sayed condemn it. El-Sayed, who defeated Stevens in the Senate primary, stated his campaign did not produce the ad and disagreed with its content.
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker attacked Stevens' motives in a post to X, claiming she was "weirdly obsessed with Israel." Mehdi Hasan, editor-in-chief of Zeteo News, also criticized Stevens on X, calling her a "complete traitor."
Stephen Kent, media director at the Consumer Choice Center, pointed out the perceived hypocrisy in Carville's comments. "Putting aside the gross language, this is ridiculous coming from a guy who just two weeks ago said he'd prefer Republicans hold on to a handful of House seats so that the Democratic Socialist bloc doesn't have too much control of the chamber," Kent told Fox News Digital. Kent was referring to Carville's earlier statements where he expressed a preference for Republicans holding a slim House majority over a larger Democratic one, citing concerns about the influence of democratic socialists within the Democratic Party.
David Hogg, former DNC Vice Chair, also joined the criticism, urging Democrats to denounce Stevens.
Fox News Digital reached out to Stevens for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
