Carville Slams Democrats on Transgender Sports Policy

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville sharply criticized fellow Democrats who support allowing trans women to compete in women’s sports, calling such advocates "left-wing zombies" and accusing them of scoring a "cheap political point." The remarks came on the Politics War Room podcast in response to California gubernatorial candidate Betty Yee, who told Piers Morgan she believes transgender athletes are women and suggested discussing gender-neutral categories for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Carville urged comparing male and female performance metrics to illustrate disparities and said parents would not want their daughters competing against males. He warned inclusion policies could undercut Title IX gains and threaten the recent boom in interest in women’s sports. Video clips of his comments have been reported and widely shared across multiple outlets.
