Democratic strategist James Carville compared Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., to a “used condom” on the “Politicon” podcast Sunday, hours after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers.
“I mean, lady, if you’re going to sell your soul, you got to get more for it than a f—ing cheeseburger, OK,” Carville said. “I’m just telling you that you got to put some kind of a price on yourself for some kind of a g—— self-pride, but your political career is over.”
Carville said Stevens’ endorsement of Rogers would leave her without support from either party, using a vulgar comparison to describe how he believed Republicans and Democrats viewed her.
“If you think that these Republicans are going to treat you as anything other than what they view you as, and that is, let me just break the news to you, a used condom. The Democrats don’t even think you’re worth a used condom. But that’s about where you are,” he continued. “You made your bed, sleep in it. You s— in your mess kit, eat it.”

Stephen Kent, media director at the Consumer Choice Center, told Fox News Digital that Carville’s criticism conflicted with his recent willingness to contemplate Republican victories to limit the influence of democratic socialists.
“Putting aside the gross language, this is ridiculous coming from a guy who just two weeks ago said he’d prefer Republicans hold on to a handful of House seats so that the Democratic Socialist bloc doesn’t have too much control of the chamber,” Kent said.
“He said after this election, he didn’t want to be in the same party as Hasan Piker. So for him to chide Haley Stevens for making the exact same calculus is not shrewd — it’s just hypocrisy,” he added.
Kent was referring to Carville’s recent comments, where the Democratic strategist said he’d rather Republicans win by five seats in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections than Democrats winning by the same number — out of concerns the Democratic Party would become “hostages” to the Democratic Socialists of America.
HASAN PIKER’S INFLUENCE TESTS BREAKING POINT OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday after Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed disinvited her from a planned unity event amid a dispute over an advertisement from Rebellion PAC, founded by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur. The ad linked U.S. military support for Israel to high grocery prices, prompting Stevens to call it antisemitic and demand El-Sayed condemn it.
El-Sayed, who defeated Stevens in their Senate primary, said his campaign did not produce the ad and that he disagreed with its contents.
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker attacked Stevens’ motives in a post to X, claiming she was “weirdly obsessed with Israel.”
“haley stevens is not the spokesperson for democrats, she’s not the spox for jewish people or black people,” Piker said on X. “she’s a self interested striver who’s weirdly obsessed with israel and has been paid handsomely for this strange obsession. this race is about solving the affordability crisis, defending democracy, fighting back against the racialized violence all communities have faced since trump came into power and serving michigan. haley and mike rogers serve trump, and trump serves the epstein class. the choice is clear.”
“She’s clearly a disturbed, deranged, dishonest woman (less than 48 hours ago she was swearing to the NYT she was backing Abdul),” Zeteo News’ editor-in-chief Mehdi Hasan also said on X, going on to attack the Democratic establishment for putting forward a “complete traitor.”

Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg also attacked Stevens and urged Democrats to denounce the congresswoman.
“If you supported Haley Stevens now is your time to speak out, denounce her as the Republican she is and apologize for supporting a traitor,” Hogg wrote.
