The right-wing firebrand was expected to lose his race against Democrat Eileen Laubacher, denying Boebert a fourth term. She refused to acknowledge her defeat earlier this week and had already alluded to electoral fraud through her campaign lawyer. But Carville called for “a little human kindness” as Boebert’s political career “ends into the sunset.”
Noting that he had harshly criticized her before, Carville said the lawmaker had had a “difficult life,” a dysfunctional family and “embarrassing situations” — “and yet she is a human being.”
He also mentioned former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), once a soldier for Donald Trump whose clashes with the president led to her departure from Congress.
“When I reflect and think about you two, you are human beings, you are people,” Carville said. “You have things you like and things you want. I think your basic political philosophy is frankly idiotic… But in the case of Miss Boebert in particular, I think it takes a little bit of human kindness, a little bit of sympathy, a little bit of understanding, and like many people in the West, I suppose her political career is going off into the sunset.”
Like MTG, Boebert was once considered a staunch MAGA follower of Trump, but she opposed him on the Epstein files and the war on Iran.
Boebert will be remembered in part because she and Greene yelled at President Joe Biden during a 2022 State of the Union address and allegedly groped her date during a 2023 musical theater production.
