Carolla Exposes Left’s Selective TDS Hatred
Adam Carolla didn’t hold back. He said the left’s outrage is selective. And he said it’s obvious why.
On his podcast, Carolla pointed to two recent targets of liberal fury: Elon Musk and RFK Jr. Both men were loved by many on the left for years, he noted. Then they moved closer to President Donald Trump and the cheers turned to venom.
Carolla framed it plainly: loyalty to ideas didn’t cause the change. Feelings about Trump did. When people start working with or supporting President Donald Trump, the left suddenly rewrites its feelings overnight.
He used blunt language to make the point. The quote below is verbatim from his show:
“The two biggest tells from the retards on the left is … Kennedy Jr. and Elon Musk. That’s how I know you guys are lying and you have Trump derangement syndrome and we never have to fucking listen to you ever again,” Carolla said. “Because … both guys formerly darlings of the left and the Democrats. One’s a Kennedy, by the way, who made his bones suing Monsanto and all these other big chemical companies and defense contractors and Union Carbide for polluting the environment.”
Carolla walked listeners through the obvious irony. RFK Jr. built credibility suing polluters. Elon Musk popularized electric cars. Those are usually causes the left praises. Yet now both men face fierce attacks, Carolla said, simply because they’ve aligned with President Donald Trump.
That kind of flip-flop smells to him like hypocrisy. And he wasn’t shy about calling it out as such. His tone was sharp. His point was straightforward: when your political identity is defined by hatred of one man, your principles become disposable.
The clip of Carolla’s remarks circulated quickly online, including on Twitter where the soundbite has been shared and debated.

Whether you agree with his language or not, the core concern he raised is worth a look. Are people judged on consistent principles? Or on how they make someone else feel? Carolla argues it’s mostly the latter, and he wants voters to notice.
