President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, is on the verge of landing a leadership post in the RNC, and one famed Democratic strategist is excited about it.

Appearing on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki Monday, James Carville delighted in the prospect of Lara Trump becoming co-chair of the RNC. The veteran strategist argued former president Trump will use his daughter-in-law to empty the organization’s coffers.

“These people want to be stolen from,” Carville said of Trump’s supporters. “That’s the long and short of it. The people that give Trump money or the RNC money are begging to be stolen from. And Trump is going to accommodate them. They’re very blunt and very upfront about what they doing.”

On multiple occasions in recent days, Lara Trump has flat out said the RNC will dedicate “every single penny” of its funds to former President Trump. Typically, the RNC assists not just the presidential candidate, but others in close races down the ballot. Carville believes the rest of the ticket will get the shaft from the RNC if Lara Trump becomes co-chair.

“I know a lot of Republicans, friends of mine from my days in Washington, who think that Trump is siphoning off all of the money from the congressional candidates, the Senate candidates, the gubernatorial candidates,” Carville said. “And you know something? They’re right. Please put Lara Trump over there! Please steal every dollar you can get!”
