BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Democratic strategist James Carville has fired back at Sen. Bernie Sanders after the Vermont independent dismissed him as a “political hack” in an interview with CNN.

“Last night on CNN, Bernie called me a political hack. That’s exactly who the f**k I am!” Carville told Vanity Fair contributor Peter Hamby in a phone interview. “I am a political hack! I am not an ideologue. I am not a purist. He thinks it’s a pejorative. I kinda like it! At least I’m not a communist,” he added.

Sanders responded in a tweet. “Carville has turned the Las Vegas Culinary Union against me. I’m not sure how he did it, because it’s obvious he doesn’t like food. In fact he appears to haven’t eaten a thing in at least six months!”
