James Carville called the Clinton critics “inhumane, idiotic.” Carville: Clinton haters 'inhumane'

James Carville slammed the “inhumane, idiotic” critics who questioned the legitimacy of Hillary Clinton’s recent head injury and said it was “duly noted” inside Clinton-land.

“What kind of human being is going to think like that with everything going on with concussions, head injuries? The fact the woman was dehydrated from the fact that she’d been overseas so much — I just don’t know, and some of these people I know and I get along with,” Carville said Friday in a CNN interview.

The former Clinton aide continued: “I have no idea what it is about the secretary of state that drives them to this kind of inhumane idiotic behaving state. It’s something that I’ll never understand. And none of it made any sense at all. People in Clinton-land were very, very concerned about the Secretary of State when they said she fell and they said she hit her head, particularly when she had the blood clot and she was hospitalized and now of course we are very relieved. But I can assure you that all of this was heard and duly noted.”

Earlier this week, the outgoing secretary of state was released from a New York City hospital after being treated for a blood clot in her head following a concussion. Several conservatives had suggested that she might be faking her injury in order to get out of testifying in the congressional hearings about the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks at U.S. posts overseas including Benghazi, Libya, in which Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed.

Carville’s take: “I mean, this is really an inhumane kind of discussion that these people were having. I have no idea what would lead them to do something like that. It’s sort of beyond me — as if she wouldn’t testify on Benghazi; she said she took responsibility for it. She ordered an investigation into it and God knows what else. It doesn’t even make any sense. It’s just a cheap sound bite if you ask me.”
