According to Hamby, Carville was aware he had been deemed a “political hack” on CNN by Sanders.

Carville responded in a distinctly Carvillian manner: “That’s exactly who the fuck I am! I am a political hack! I am not an ideologue. I am not a purist. He thinks it’s a pejorative. I kinda like it! At least I’m not a communist.”

Carville has recently stated on cable news that he worried that if Sanders wins the Democratic nomination, President Donald Trump will be re-elected.
