Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville criticized former President Joe Biden this week, saying he would be better off returning to his house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, “and staying there.”
During an interview on the “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville, who frequently remarked that Democrats were veering too far toward “woke” ideology and had criticized them before the November election, blamed Biden alone for the American people’s lack of interest in hearing from him.
“What he’s done to himself is no one wants to hear from this guy anymore. Okay, just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there. And that’s not because we’re bad people or we’re mean people. It was all his doing. All his doing, this entire thing,” Carville said, noting that the Democratic Party was not interested in talking to Biden either.
Carville also took issue with Biden’s repeated claim that he could have beaten Trump in November if he’d remained in the race.
Carville strongly disagreed, stating, “No one f***ing believes that at all!”
“And then fighting with Jill Biden and Alexandra Pelosi,” Carville continued. “I mean, just look, guy — you had a noble career. Your last act was terrible. Just get out of the way. The party’s moving on. I mean, they’re really moving on, and it’s very sad, but that’s just where we are. And he created this himself. He has nobody to blame but himself. Nobody.”
Hunt said that he “really has no role to play in the national dialogue” and would be better served by simply stepping back from the spotlight and focusing on raising money to build a library.
Carville went further, stating that Biden’s continued involvement in public politics would be detrimental.
WATCH:
President Donald Trump is challenging former President Joe Biden’s radical left “climate” agenda by implementing a series of executive orders that aim to increase domestic fossil fuel energy production.
The series of orders also contain a declaration of an “energy emergency,” which should protect the administration from some, but not all, legal actions aimed at stopping new drilling and other energy-related production.
“The breadth of the decisions may well be the most dramatic shift in U.S. energy policy since the response to the ban on oil exports from Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1973,” Just the News reported.
After being sworn into office, President Biden signed several executive orders, including rejoining the Paris Agreement, a nonbinding international accord aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Following that, his climate agenda unfolded through a series of regulatory actions over the past four years. The outlet added that these included new appliance efficiency standards, a halt on liquefied natural gas export permits, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) power plant regulations.
Trump’s “energy emergency” plan emphasizes support for mining critical minerals essential for national security, emergency approvals for energy resources on public lands, and streamlining the development of energy infrastructure. In a separate executive order, Trump outlined guidelines for the development of energy resources in Alaska.
Another order promotes exploration and production related to offshore drilling, reversing one of Biden’s last actions against fossil fuels. This order also cancels several executive orders related to climate that were put in place by Biden. Additionally, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Agreement.
Jeff Reynolds, senior editor for Restoration News, suggested that Trump’s sudden and clear rejection of Biden’s climate agenda might stem from hindsight. While Trump recognized the significance of energy and a supportive regulatory environment, Reynolds noted that he seemed more patient during his first term.
However, this patience changed after witnessing the extent to which the left would act once Biden took office.
“Now he knows where the bodies are buried, and he’s ready to take a meat axe to everything that got in his way the first time,” Reynolds told Just the News.
Trump’s flurry of pro-fossil fuel executive orders signals his commitment to fulfilling his “drill, baby drill” campaign promises.
However, energy analyst David Blackmon, who shares his insights on his “Energy Absurdities” Substack, told Just the News that it’s unlikely the U.S. will see significant production increases.
