Adam Carolla Blasts California Governor Gavin Newsom as a "Policy Disaster" and "Sociopath

The comedian and podcast host says Newsom has "ruined" California and wants to "franchise" his failures nationwide. He also accuses Newsom of being a "sociopath" who lacks policy substance.

Comedian and podcast host Adam Carolla has launched a scathing attack on California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling him a "policy disaster" and a "sociopath." Speaking on Fox News' "One Nation" program, Carolla criticized Newsom's leadership, claiming that he has ruined the state and is now seeking to spread his failures nationwide.

Carolla's comments come amid growing speculation that Newsom may challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2024. However, Carolla dismissed such talk, asserting that Newsom is "an empty bag" and "a ten cent head."

"He's a disaster in the policy department," Carolla declared. "He's an empty bag. He's a ten cent head, but he's mainly a sociopath. I've interviewed him on my podcast."

Carolla recalled his podcast appearance with Newsom, where he accused the governor of evading substantive questions and providing no solutions to problems.

"He lied, then he doubled down, and he had no solutions," Carolla said. "He brought up a problem [would] try to get some intersectional points on it and, when I kept pressing him to see what the solution or the answer was, he had nothing."

Carolla's criticism of Newsom echoes growing discontent among some Californians over the governor's handling of the state's economy, homelessness crisis, and public safety issues. A recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of California found that Newsom's approval rating among likely California voters is just 44%.

Despite the rumors of a presidential run, Newsom has repeatedly stated his support for Biden. However, Carolla is not convinced, suggesting that Newsom may be positioning himself for a future challenge.

"He's kind of the face of politics and everything that's wrong with politics, which is just this weird aesthetic and a sort of, 'I'd like to have a beer with that guy versus anything good in the policy department,'" Carolla said.

Carolla is not the only celebrity to criticize Newsom's leadership. Actor Dean Cain, Sylvester Stallone, and Mark Wahlberg have all recently announced their plans to leave California, citing high taxes, crime, and homelessness as their reasons for departure.

Carolla's comments have resonated with some frustrated Californians, who have expressed support for his scathing assessment of Newsom's governance.
