During a recent appearance on the podcast <em>Straight Shooter<\/em> with <strong>Stephen A. Smith<\/strong>, Carville doubled down on his previous remarks, suggesting Omar might be better off leaving the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carville\u2019s comments revisit a debate that has simmered within the party for years, highlighting the tension between establishment Democrats and the progressive wing, often represented by \u201cthe Squad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLady, why don\u2019t you just get out of the Democratic Party,\u201d Carville said bluntly. \u201cHonestly, start your own movement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is this treason?<br><br>Ilhan Omar posted &quot;Iraq was attacked&quot; well before the attack was made public.<br><br>How did she know?<br><br>Did her post compromise the element of surprise?<br><br>What should happen to her? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TwuTXwCBd4\">https:\/\/t.co\/TwuTXwCBd4<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pct9btEKFP\">pic.twitter.com\/pct9btEKFP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Jimerican (@Jimerican) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jimerican\/status\/2027834848488939867?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 28, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategist initially called for Omar to step away after a 2018 interview with <strong>Al Jazeera<\/strong>, in which she controversially stated, \u201cour country should be more fearful of white men because they\u2019re causing most of the deaths within this country.\u201d Critics pointed out that while whites commit the highest number of murders in raw numbers, statistical data shows black males are six times more likely to victimize other blacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue reading on next page&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carville described Omar as \u201cvery attractive\u201d and \u201csoft-spoken,\u201d but stressed he disagreed with her remarks on white men. \u201cAbout 33% of the people that are gonna vote are gonna be white males. Well, it\u2019s stupid to attack 33% of the voters!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He suggested Omar could follow a model similar to <strong>AOC<\/strong>\u2014aligning with progressive causes but remaining outside the party\u2019s core electoral coalition. \u201cWe cannot win national elections without white males. It\u2019s just insanity. Literally mathematical insanity, cultural insanity,\u201d Carville added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategist also emphasized nuance: \u201cAll white people are not the same. All black people are not the same. All Hispanic people are not the same. All gay people are not the same. They\u2019re very different personalities, very different values, very different everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omar herself has faced criticism for other controversial remarks. Recently, she claimed the U.S. deliberately targets Muslim nations during Ramadan, citing Iraq and Iran. Critics quickly labeled the claims inaccurate and warned that such statements during active military tensions risk fueling propaganda that adversaries could exploit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under U.S. law, treason is narrowly defined as levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to enemies. Legal experts note that mere speech, even if controversial, does not meet this standard unless it involves intent and tangible support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The debate over Omar highlights ongoing ideological divides within the Democratic Party and raises questions about political strategy, rhetoric, and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Your Thoughts:<\/strong> Do you agree with Carville\u2019s advice to Omar, or do you think party diversity is vital?
