James Carville says socialist Democrat shouldn't be in the party, calls her views 'a bridge too far'

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is sounding the alarm regarding one of New York City’s congressional primary winners, calling her socialist views a "bridge too far." In an interview with Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany on "Saturday in America," Carville blasted Darializa Avila Chevalier just days after her upset victory over incumbent Representative Adriano Espaillat in the Big Apple’s 13th congressional District. "I don't think that the congressional Democrats should seat her as a member of the Democratic Party — she actually describes herself as a democratic socialist," Carville said."I don't have anything in common with someone that says that they're against interracial dating or doesn't want to have any incarceration for convicted felons." Carville argued that, if elected, Democrats should allow Chevalier, who was backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, to serve as a democratic socialist — instead of absorbing her into the party.RISING SOCIALIST STARS ON TRACK TO CONGRESS: WHO ARE DARIALIZA AVILA CHEVALIER, BRAD LANDER AND CLAIRE VALDEZ?

"But she doesn't have to be in a Democratic caucus." He then pointed to the wide definition of socialism throughout the United States and other countries, adding that he is more aligned with the traditional side of the Democratic Party. "These are the kind of Democrats that I want to help and be a part of the same party," Carville said."I don't have anything in common with Ms.
Chevalier, and I really don't want to be in the same party she's in."MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALIST WINS IN NEW YORK EXPOSE GROWING RIFT BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT, INSURGENT LEFTDarializa Avila Chevalier, U.S.Democratic House candidate for New York, speaks...
