Democrat strategist James Carville has done his post-mortem on the 2024 election and blames the loss of the White House on Joe Biden whom he called the “most tragic figure in American politics in my lifetime.”

On the latest episode of Politicon, the 80-year-old “Ragin’ Cajun” lamented that Biden didn’t get out of the race sooner which he claims would have allowed a candidate who was more palatable to the public to run, seeming to admit that Kamala Harris was a complete disaster for his party.

Carville weighed in on Biden’s sweeping pardon for his scoundrel son Hunter Biden, dismissing critics who complained about the optics after the outgoing president had insisted he wouldn’t do it. He then gave his take on the larger issue of the octogenarian’s stubbornness in seeking reelection despite dismal polling.

“The most tragic figure in American politics in my lifetime is President Biden. Alright, so he said, ‘I’ll never pardon the kid,’ okay, I don’t believe — when anybody says, ‘I never had sex with that person’ or ‘I’ll never pardon my kid,’ I don’t pay any attention to it because I think everybody lies about sex and everybody’s going to do whatever they’re going to do with their own children,” Carville said, explaining why Democrats should be given a free pass for lying.

“But the different scenario would be, if he would have in September of 2023 or August said that he wasn’t going to run, godd*mn, we would have won this election,” he claimed. “And it wouldn’t have been that close because we’d have had so many frickin’ talented people that were running and he would be sitting here right now getting ready to leave on a high note, they would be naming commissions to figure out what are we going to name after him.”

“He would be the toast of Washington, it would be a Democratic inauguration coming up, and a new Democratic president could have sorta gotten away with commuting any sentence that Hunter Biden got,” Carville explained. “And it would have been minimal, minimal, it’d have been some pushback, but, you know, in the interests of the Biden family and President Biden’s long and distinguished service to the community, I’m going to commute the sentence.”

“You wouldn’t even had to have pardoned,” he added. “I just can not get away from the fact that somebody that I really liked and admired my entire political life. I can remember when in the 70s readin’ the first edition of ‘The Almanac of American Politics’ about this guy and is thirty years elected to the Senate from Delaware.”

“In all of this, it’s f**kin’ self-inflicted, it’s tragic, it’s sad…and of course, he’s …everything about him, it’ll be six years before somebody come back and talks about all of the stunning things, the manufacturing that he’s brought back, the stunning stuff he’s done …it’ll be a while…,” Carville said, pouring it all out for his followers.

Carville has been a fixture in politics since he was widely credited as being the architect of Bill Clinton’s underdog 1992 White House campaign with his slogan, “It’s the economy stupid,” catching on with voters who delivered a stunning defeat to President George H.W. Bush who had previously enjoyed a 90 percent approval rating during the Gulf War.

He was also among the first ones who sounded the alarm about Biden back when anyone who pointed out his mental decline was smeared as a “conspiracy theorist” when the party was solidly behind the deeply unpopular octogenarian before his terrible CNN debate led to a coup orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama to swap him out for Harris.
