‘Do You Know How This Ends?’: Carville Invokes Nazis, Opens ‘Nominations’ For Trump ‘Collaborators’

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville invoked the Nazis and suggested that anyone who “collaborated” with President Donald Trump might eventually suffer the same fate as those who’d cooperated with brutal German dictator Adolf Hitler.

Carville made the comments on his Politicon podcast, where he referred to major corporations and law firms that were aiding the Trump administration as “traitors” and suggested they’d be ripe for “retribution” if the people were so inclined.

“Do you know what’s going to happen? Do you know how this ends?” Carville asked. “Do you know what the country is going to feel toward collaborators with this regime?”

“After Paris was liberated, they didn’t take very kindly to the collaborators,” Carville continued, referencing the way the French had treated those they deemed to be Nazi collaborators after Paris was liberated in 1944. “No … it was not a very pretty sight in the streets of Paris.”

Carville went on to claim that he wasn’t suggesting people take matters into their own hands, but simply laying out what could happen if they did so: “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.”

He then tried to rein himself back in, noting that much of what the French had done to collaborators would be illegal in the United States and warning listeners against those actions.

“Spitting on somebody is an assault. I don’t recommend doing that. I guess involuntarily shaving somebody’s head is another assault and that’s illegal. Don’t — don’t do that,” he said. “But these people are a disgrace to the law firms they represent, to the companies that they that they represent and are supposed to be in their self-interest. And they’re a disgrace to the United States.”

“I think I’m going to start here as we go forward and give you a little bit of time, but we should have a collaborators hall of fame. There’s some people that just stick out as, in my view, particularly treasonous,” Carville said, later in the podcast. “Maybe we’ll have a system where we can, you know, vote people in … We’ll be accepting nominations.”
