'Give him a nice burial': James Carville drops bold prediction for GOP leader

Democratic political strategist James Carville sounded reluctantly sympathetic as he declared that one of the GOP's top leaders is "dead" and losing power.

Carville was reacting to a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) defending Trump's shocking "I don't think about Americans' financial situations" comment from earlier in the week.

"I don't much care for Mike Johnson. We're both from the same state, different parts. Our politics are really different," Carville said in the latest episode of The Jim Acosta Show, before confessing that, "At some point, I feel sorry for the guy."

Carville predicted that Johnson would lose his speakership following a Democratic takeover in November's midterms.

"He's trying to just cobble together something and just keep himself from being humiliated in public, and he's not going to be able to stop it," Carville went on. "He's kind of a tragic figure in all of this. I really believe that."

Although Carville has "attacked him numerous times before," he felt bad about going after a weakened and embarrassed Johnson this time.

"I don't think it's what he would say is the Christian thing to do here," Carville added. "I think we should give him a nice burial 'cause he's dead."
