Dem Strategist Says The Quiet Part Out Loud About Kamala’s Background [VIDEOS]

On Wednesday, Democratic strategist James Carville advised Kamala Harris to steer clear of campaigning on her personal background, which he deemed unremarkable for its lack of a typical “all-American” narrative.

Carville, speaking on “Conversations with Bill Kristol,” highlighted Harris’s affluent upbringing as a potential liability.

Her parents, who met at the University of California at Berkeley, included her mother, a research scientist, and her father, a Stanford University professor, according to The New York Times. “Her bio is not all-American … she doesn’t have a up by the bootstraps story. I mean, I think she grew up relatively affluent,” Carville said. “I mean, college professors don’t starve to death. I don’t know … She can talk about it, but I don’t think her bio is … the kind of thing she’s going to win this on. It’s fine to talk about it, experiences she had.”

Carville suggested that Harris should focus instead on her professional achievements, such as her tenure as Attorney General and District Attorney. “I think if I were her, in terms of my past experience, I would talk more about being an AG and being a kind of consumer advocate, and being a DA and being tough on crime,” he said, adding a note of sarcasm about the current political climate. “It seems to be kind of in right now, if I say so myself. I’ve never been very much of a pro-crime guy,” he quipped.

Harris’s campaign is reportedly aiming to present her as a strong law-and-order candidate in her bid against former President Donald Trump.

The Daily Caller also reported last Thursday that Carville made headlines again by urging Harris to reject the “progressive left,” suggesting their influence is overstated. “They don’t have very much power. I wish she’d tell them all to go fuck themselves … Their power is totally exaggerated — they can’t win an election outside of a D+25 district,” he remarked.
