Carville to MSNBC host: ‘When the paddy wagon comes, you and I are going to be in the back of it’ if Trump wins

Democratic strategist James Carville suggested to MSNBC host Ari Melber that “when the paddy wagon comes, you and I are going to be in the back of it” if former President Trump retakes the White House in November.

“When the paddy wagon comes, you and I are going to be in the back of it, bouncing around, and it’s not going to be very much fun, and they will tell you the judge said, ‘I’m sorry, Mr. Melber, I’m sorry Mr. Carville, Mr. Trump said he was going to get rid of the Constitution, I have no choice but to enforce the democratic norms of this country,'” Carville said in an interview Monday.

“Maybe that’ll happen. It’s not far-fetched,” Carville added.

Carville, a former President Clinton adviser, suggested that focusing on weaknesses among specific voting blocs, such as men of color, rather than on threats to the Constitution is a mistake.

“People say, ‘What’s at stake in this election?’ OK, the Constitution is at stake, the whole idea of — I don’t know if you call a constitutional republic, whatever highbrow people call it — I get it, we live under a set of laws, it’s literally at risk, and he is telling you that,” Carville said.

“And people want to know about weakness among males of color,” he added.

Carville then warned that Trump’s “going to arrest all of you.”

“You think you don’t have a stake in this election? Guess what? You’re not going to do very well. I’m not going to do well,” he said.
