‘COVID Was a Way to Control People’: Adam Carolla Reflects on Government’s COVID-19 Restrictions

Adam Carolla reflects on the pandemic and expresses his frustration with the imposed lockdowns and the cancel culture that accompanied it, stating, “I didn’t sign up for this. I don’t condone it, and I will stand up against it.”

Carolla vividly recounts his decision to support Tinhorn Flats, a restaurant that defied shutdown orders, emphasizing his belief in standing against unreasonable measures.

“When I heard they were shutting down outdoor dining, and the Tinhorn Flats was defying that order, I got my son, and I said, we’re going to Tinhorn Flat support,” he recalls.

“… COVID was a way to control people. That’s all it was. It was politicians showing us what they wanted to do,” Carolla asserts, pointing to the actions of figures like Gavin Newsom as evidence of this overreach.

Carolla’s perspective reminds us of the importance of questioning authority and supporting individual freedoms in times of crisis.

He notes, “It’s not a popularity contest... it’s not about it,” underscoring his commitment to his principles over public approval.
