James Carville Applauds Trump’s Gaza Ceasefire Deal in Rare Praise: ‘Did Something Other People Failed To Do’
James Carville offered some rare praise for President Donald Trump, arguing he “deserves some credit” for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire because he accomplished something “other people failed to do.”
On the Politics War Room podcast, Carville and his co-host Al Hunt, both vocal critics of Trump, took some time to praise the current peace deal in place, which saw the release of hostages from Gaza. Hunt said the president is “deservedly” celebrating and applauded him for accomplishing what former President Joe Biden “should have done” while he was in office.
Hunt argued a longer-term solution for Israel and Gaza is needed, while Carville acknowledged that the administration is having a “legitimate moment in the sun.”
“You can say, well, it may not last that long, but you know what? He did it. And A, he deserves some credit for it,” the longtime Democratic strategist said.
He added, “I don’t have any problem with saying they did something which, as of now, other people failed to do.”
Carville called the peace deal an undeniable “accomplishment” and urged people to celebrate even a temporary pause to the war.
“As of right now, hostages are home and the guns are silent. That’s an accomplishment,” he said.
During the same podcast, Carville had much less flattering things to say about Vice President JD Vance, accusing him of embracing “racists” for political gain after Vance dismissed outrage over leaked racist messages from Young Republicans leaders as “pearl-clutching.”
“Any time that any Democrat says something really stupid, alright, then it’s all, oh my God, and such and such. You’ve got to read what JD Vance wrote, that’s right, JD f**king Vance. The vice president of the United States thought it was funny and thought people were just overreacting to it,” he said.
