Adam Carolla says he's leaving California, citing issues — homelessness, crime, housing — that he called 'self-imposed.' The comic also blames Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Comedian Adam Corolla says he is leaving the Golden State, lobbing plenty of criticism for government leadership and ordinary Californians in his potential wake. 'I have to leave,' the author and radio personality said recently on 'The Sage Steele Show' podcast.
'I don't even know where I'm going. This isn't me cheating on you for another woman. This is, 'I hate you so much. I'm moving into a motel room and not dating for six years.'' That's inflammatory talk from the San Fernando Valley native, and he recognized how his younger self would have thought him a 'fool' for leaving, joking that everyone in the Carolinas, Nashville or Wyoming used to want to move to the West Coast. Carolla said he has stuck around in the sunshine thus far because his twins still have to finish high school, but noted, 'I will be attending their high school graduation in a U-Haul.' According to the former 'Loveline' host, California's issues with crime, homelessness and housing are 'self-imposed,' with Gov. Gavin Newsom to blame. 'He says nothing,' Carolla said. 'He's a sociopathic, narcissistic empty bag. And we vote for this guy. He says nothing!' Corolla also had choice words for the Californians who continue to vote for the governor, whom he characterized as a 'slippery eel of nothingness.' 'It's like ride or die with Gavin Newsom. And it's like, can you just admit you made a mistake and try something else? And it's like, no, we cannot,' he said. 'He's a narcissistic 10-cent head buffoon and nobody knows it ... people in California are too dumb to realize who he is.' City leadership also didn't escape Carolla's ire: He insisted that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass won her election only because she's a 'woman of color' and that the 'competent' Rick Caruso was rejected by voters for being 'old,' 'white' and 'rich.' Enjoy the Texas humidity, Adam.
