Adam Carolla Blames California Wildfires on Democratic Leadership
Comedian Adam Carolla criticizes California's leaders for the worsening wildfires, claiming their policies are ineffective and warning of potential voter backlash.
Carolla said, “The people who live in Malibu, who live in Santa Monica, who live in the Palisades, those are some of the most progressive blue voters in the world. … I checked it out. It’s about 80% blue.” He continued, “These pus***s are all sitting around crying about Karen Bass, water pressure, how come the forest wasn’t cleared of all the brush, what’s happening with the infrastructure?”

The state is run by a handful of environmental lunatics like the Coastal Commission. Eight or 12... unelected people deciding what goes on in the entire state. That's how it's always been, a handful of lunatic nutjobs running everyone else into the ground.
