James Carville Challenges Bannon To Charlie Kirk Debate: ‘I’ll Do In Front of Turning Point, I Don’t Give a S**t!’

James Carville is itching for a debate with Steve Bannon, but only if he accepts a cologne Christmas gift and keeps himself to a four-shirt minimum.

On his Politics War Room podcast for Politicon this week, Carville bit back at Bannon, one of a number of conservatives who have taken issue with comments Carville made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk and filmmaker Rob Reiner, who were both murdered this year.

Carville argued on his podcast last week that Kirk wasn’t a “pimple on Rob Reiner’s a**” in terms of cultural impact. Kirk was shot and killed during a Utah college campus event in September, while Reiner, a liberal activist, was murdered along with his wife Michele Singer Reiner earlier this month.

Carville said:

I’m sorry. I don’t want anybody to get shot…young kids, I hate that, but Charlie Kirk was not a pimple on Rob Reiner’s a** when it comes to influence, when it comes to impact, when it comes to anything else. I don’t want to say anything bad, but for God’s sake, don’t dare compare Charlie Kirk to Rob Reiner. That’s not fair.

The longtime Democratic strategist noted that Bannon took issue with his take while at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest. Carville declared he’s down for a debate anywhere and anytime, even suggesting doing it at Turning Point USA, a group founded by Kirk.

“We don’t do things by duel in this country. What we do is we do things by debate. Then I would tell Mr. Bannon, at any time and any place that he would like to debate me as to who was the more iconic cultural figure in American history, Rob Reiner or Charlie Kirk, I will show up. You don’t have to pay me anything,” Carville said, adding later, “I’ll do it in front of Turning Point, I don’t give a s**t.”

While Carville appeared sincere with his offer, he spent just as much time on the throwing down the debate challenge as he did trolling Bannon. While sitting in front of a Christmas tree, Carville pulled out cologne he said he bought for Bannon. The requirements for the debate, Carville, joked would be a limit to Bannon’s shirts and cologne.

“We got to be at least six feet apart, because there’s an Eighth Amendment in this country and it prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. So I ain’t getting close to your stinky a**,” he said.

Carville busted out the cologne and tested it on himself, jokingly declaring, “women are going to be crawling all over me.”

He said:

Before the debate, I will provide you with this cologne so you can douse yourself in it so you don’t have to stink so f**king much. See, and it works pretty good here, let’s see. Oh, man. Sheesh. Women are gonna crawl all over me. So I’m willing anytime you want at the time and place of your choosing. And my only requirement is I need six feet of separation. I wouldn’t require but ask you to douse yourself in cologne. I’d also request that we have a four-shirt limit, but I’m not going to walk out if you want to wear six shirts, okay? But it is an utterly idiotic hypothesis to mention in terms of cultural influence, Rob Reiner and Charlie Kirk. You know, the truth of the matter is, Mr. Bannon, you can’t handle the truth. See you wherever you want.
