Democratic political consultant James Carville drew a controversial comparison on his “Politicon” podcast Friday, likening individuals and organizations aligning with President Donald Trump’s administration to those who sided with the Nazis during World War II.
Carville expressed frustration with law firms and corporations supporting Trump, saying, “How disgraced must these law firms feel now? How disgraced must these companies that are sucking up to him – that are giving him tens of millions of dollars for access. Do you know what’s going to happen? Do you know how this ends? Do you know these collaborators, what the country is going to feel towards collaborators with this regime? 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.”
He went on to clarify that he wasn’t calling for violent or humiliating punishment, but pointed to history as a warning. “I’m not saying that these people should be placed in pajamas and have their head 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. What their comeuppance is I can only guess. I don’t believe in any kind of, don’t believe you should assault anybody.”
