Adam Carolla Takes a Jab at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz

Comedian and podcast host Adam Carolla has expressed his dissatisfaction with Minnesota’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz, who has been embroiled in controversies and scandals.

Walz recently announced that he would not seek re-election amid ongoing criticism related to welfare fraud in the Somali community, a situation that’s seemingly deteriorating. He claimed this decision prioritizes the needs of Minnesota over his own political ambitions.

Carolla sees this as a positive development, joking that once Walz’s term is over, Minnesota may finally get a break from what he calls a “bathing bath.” He didn’t hold back in his criticism, saying, “He’s an idiot, he’s a drug addict, and his wife is worse than him. And it looks like his daughter is worse than the two of them. So stop it. Hit a brick, you idiot.”

Carolla also speculated that even though Walz is stepping down, the Somali corruption scandal will continue to haunt him. “It’s only going to get worse for him. And certainly, he’s doing this and it’s a good, good ouster,” Carolla remarked regarding the ongoing fraud investigation.

“But it’s sad. I mean, this guy was almost the vice president of the United States. It’s crazy,” he continued. “He’s a bad guy. He’s gone.”

Walz’s announcement to end his re-election campaign came as a surprise to many. In his statement, he framed it as a courageous decision meant to safeguard Minnesota. He acknowledged his prior commitment to run for a third term but reflected on how his focus needed to shift away from campaigning and toward protecting Minnesotans from those exploiting the system.

His withdrawal follows a viral investigation by journalist Nick Shirley, who uncovered that several Somali-operated child care centers in Minneapolis were not caring for any children, despite receiving significant welfare funding intended for that purpose.
