Legendary comedian Adam Carolla and California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom joined News Nation following Thursday night’s presidential debate.
Instead of discussing the Trump vs. Biden debate, Carolla took the opportunity to badger Newsom about his atrocious COVID-19 lockdown policies.
“Governor, why did you shut the beaches in California during Covid?” Carolla asked Newsom.
MUST WATCH
The great @adamcarolla destroyed @GavinNewsom in a matter of seconds by simply asking why he shut beaches during COVID. Newsom babbled nonsense until Adam shut him down.
Yes, he has pretty hair. But his policies are horrible & even he can’t defend them. pic.twitter.com/G7kVhtXgV9

The governor appeared to be caught off guard, stuttering and claiming there was no understanding of how the virus worked at the onset of the pandemic.
“If you didn’t know anything, why did you shut the beaches?” the comedian asked.
The politician answered by saying there wasn’t enough information available early in the pandemic about how the virus was spreading.
Carolla cut the Democrat governor off, asking, “So, you didn’t let them go into the sunshine to get vitamin D and exercise? You shut the beaches, okay.”
Responding to internet users celebrating the epic takedown of Newsom, Carolla told Americans they’re welcome for his service.

The encounter took place while Newsom is being floated by Democrats as a potential replacement for Joe Biden after his incredibly poor debate performance on Thursday night.
