On Friday, Democrat political consultant James Carville told the truth on CNN. We’re shocked. SHOCKED! Carville wrapped his truthful gift in plenty of hypocrisy, though. CNN’s Jake Tapper asked a very Gollum-like Carville if Democrats would treat a Republican military vet with a Totenkopf tattoo differently than they’ve treated Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine. That’s when the truth spilled out.
Here’s Carville’s answer. (WATCH)
Tapper: What would you say to a Republican who says if a Republican combat veteran had a Nazi tattoo, you wouldn’t be so forgiving?

Carville: It’s true. I would say you're exactly right.

This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. A washed-up old network and man.

But enough about Jake Tapper. Let's focus on what Carville admitted.
Posters say Carville’s truth-telling regarding the Democrat Party’s double standard quickly veered into overly-familiar Trump territory.
Predictable Segue to TDS...

That is what they believe justifies it

Democrats use our current President to justify a lot of evil. Voting for a Nazi? Sure, because Trump!
Carville’s honesty has commenters feeling something strange toward the human cueball—respect.
I can actually respect this answer because he is speaking the truth. 🤷♂️

At least he’s honest about his hypocrisy.

Probably the only thing he’s honest about.
Carville is out of his mind … but at least he’s honest about their shameless double standard.

I don't know whether to give him props for honesty or toss him into a snowbank for wasting our collective time.

Carville’s so pale no one would ever find him if he was trapped in a snowbank.
Posters say Trump’s got Democrats twisting themselves into pretzels over Platner.
Trump’s got leftists so twisted they don’t know which end is up.
— TheInfidel (@InfidelJustan) June 5, 2026
They’ve gone from “all women should be believed” and “No Nazis in Office” to smearing women and trying to get Nazis elected.
Hilarious!
So Elon & Trump waving to crowds are Nazi salutes. But a douche WITH a Nazi SS (who were THE most brutal & inhumane of the Nazis) tattoo is totes ok because he’s Swamp Rat Carville’s guy. Not to mention Platner’s alleged racism, homophobia, misogyny & hatred of those who served.

Dems will happily accuse anyone of being a Nazi with zero proof so long as they are a Republican.
— Pablo Clay (@realPabloClay) June 5, 2026
But they've got no problem at all with a guy with a Nazi tattoo if he's a Dem because it's all about power and money for Dems.
Today’s democrats are beyond shame. Hypocrisy means nothing to them. A conscious could interfere with securing power.

Some Democrats are publicly trying to distance themselves from Platner; we know that below their ‘concern’ they’re rubbing their hands in anticipation of the power his victory could give them in Congress. That’s all that matters after all. Power.
Editor's Note: President Trump is fighting to ensure America's kids get the education they deserve.
