Comedian Adam Carolla has attacked California politicians, accusing “environmental lunatics” of running the state “down to earth” as wildfires sweep through Los Angeles County.
“Donald Trump said to clean up the forest, and then you know it's not going to happen, because everything he says, we do the opposite,” Carolla said. Sean Hannity Wednesday.
“He wants to build a wall on the border. We want to tear it down. He likes ivermectin. We say it's horse paste. He wants that.” Cleaning the forest. “We reject everything, so we will do the opposite of everything Trump suggested, number one.”

He continued: “The state is run by a bunch of environmental lunatics like the Coastal Commission. Eight or 12 unelected people decide what happens in the entire state.” “That's how it's always been, a bunch of lunatics smashing everyone to the ground.”
Carolla, who was forced to evacuate on Tuesday, said he still didn't know if there was anything left of his home.
“I would say it's a flip of a coin at best,” he said when asked if he thought his house was still intact. “I have seen a lot of footage of the houses around my house burned to the ground. There is still some hope that my house is still intact, but if so, it will be a miracle.”

Pundits have scrutinized leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Leftist approaches to politics To prevent fires, many blame liberal leaders for the catastrophic damage.
Bass, specifically, has faced heavy criticism for being on a trip to Ghana while her city was grappling with devastating fires and cuts to the Los Angeles Fire Department's budget last year.
“We had a major fire in Malibu three and a half weeks ago. It's not like it was three and a half years ago. This is an ongoing problem,” Carolla said. “And Newsom likes to say it's year-round now because he wants to talk about climate change, so he's the first person to recognize that.”

He continued: “They want to blame everything on climate change, but this is actually their inaction.” “That's why we're in this predicament.”
Carolla warned that Democrats will lose deep blue districts in areas like Malibu, Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica if they “don't get it together.”
“These are them Deep blue progressive cities “Who vote and raise money and bow down to these people, but they no longer have a home, and it's because of you, so it's time for us to come together.”
Upon her return from her overseas trip on Wednesday, Bass was pressed about her fire prevention efforts, but she had nothing to say.
Liberal leaders are unaccustomed to asking tough questions about their leadership because the media is largely on their side, too, Carolla said.
“City officials…are very left-leaning and get angry when you ask them any substantive questions,” he said. “They are not even used to asking any tough questions because the media is in their pockets as well, so they don't even know how to react when a tough question is asked.”
