Carville Warns Law Firms Caving to Trump Will Be Remembered As Nazi ‘Collaborators’: ‘These People Are a Disgrace’
James Carville compared law firms and companies working with President Donald Trump to Nazi collaborators in World War II.
Multiple major law firms have recently agreed to hundreds of millions of dollars of pro bono work for the administration. The agreements follow the president’s use of executive orders to target law firms involved in investigations against him.
Milbank became the latest law firm to agree to a deal with Trump. The president announced through Truth Social that the firm is providing $100 million in free legal services to causes supported by the company and the administration.
In a Fridaay video for Politicon, Carville accused law firms and companies of “sucking up” to the president and predicted that the collaboration would not be looked on too kindly by history. The longtime Democratic strategist even compared these firms in a post-Trump world to Nazi collaborators in France following the liberation of Paris in August 1944.
Carville said:
Maybe you need to go in history and see what happened in August of 1944, after Paris was liberated. They didn’t take very kindly to the collaborators. No, it was not a very pretty sight in the streets of Paris. I’m not saying that these people should be placed in pajamas and have their heads shaved, marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, and spit on. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that that did happen. And I’m saying that these people betrayed the French nation in the same way that I think that these law firms and these giant corporate conglomerates are betraying the United States.
The once-advisor to former President Bill Clinton made clear that he is not calling for or in approval of any sort of violence as retaliation.
“What their comeuppance is, I can only guess,” he said.
Carville went on to call lawyers at these “collaborating” law firms a “disgrace” and some of the “greatest traitors” in the nation’s history.
“These people are a disgrace to the law firms they represent, to the companies that they represent and are supposed to be in self-interest, and they’re a disgrace to the United States and etch their names in the tablet of history for being some The greatest traitors, appeasers that we’ve seen in the history of our great country,” he said.
Carville called for an “intellectual reckoning” once Trump is out of the White House.
“When this is over, there has to be, at a minimum, an intellectual reckoning with this class of appeasers that are here,” he said.
