The political strategist James Carville warned against assaulting Trump “collaborators,” yet acknowledged that these individuals might face severe public backlash. During a segment of his “Politicon” podcast, Carville compared the potential treatment of those cooperating with Donald Trump’s administration to that of Nazi collaborators in post-World War II Europe. He noted that while he does not advocate for harsh public treatment, historical parallels suggest that such collaborators could face significant condemnation.

Carville criticized Trump’s agenda, labeling it a “nightmare,” and expressed a desire for its conclusion. He described Trump officials as “anti-patriotic” and condemned law firms and corporations that have aligned with the administration. Highlighting the pressure applied to major law firms linked to anti-Trump causes, he emphasized the disgrace these entities might feel for their complicity with Trump’s agenda, drawing a stark historical comparison to the treatment of collaborators in post-liberation Paris.
