It’s quite rare to see a member of the Democratic Party venture on to Fox ‘News’ to educate their viewers on how things really work. The Ragin’ Cajun, James Carville, did just that on Thursday evening.
Carville joined Sean Hannity and pushed back against the host in a debate on cost-cutting efforts under The Fascist Felon.
Hannity, in a live interview with the longtime Democratic strategist, declared that he was scrolling through “all the waste, fraud and abuse” in the federal government as an on-screen graphic touted “accomplishments” by the The Fascist Felon’s administration’s nonofficial DOGEbags.
Carville then swerved away from the host’s question to call out a separate graphic on “questionable spending” at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which has a budget of about $40 billion compared to the $6.8 trillion federal budget.
“I did the math, Sean, it actually comes to something like 0.014%,” Carville said.
He continued, “So take the $41 billion, put it against the $6 trillion and see what you’ve done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.”
The national debt — under Trump’s first term in office — grew by $7.8 trillion, the largest four-year increase in history, The Washington Post found last year.
