CalExit Leader Tells Tucker Carlson: California Is ‘Not The United States’

We have a new contender for “dumbest liberal alive.”

Shankar Singram, vice president of the California Freedom Coalition, told Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson this week that California is “not the United States” and it’s high time they left the union:

“This is California. We’re not the United States. Our values are different,” said Shankar Singram, vice president of the California Freedom Coalition. “We’re fundamentally different in how we act and speak and think about the world globally. Whether it has to do with war, the climate, the environment. We’re just a different state.”

He added, “We are going to do things that are beneficial for our state, and we disregard what the United States thinks or even their laws,” pointing to sanctuary cities and marijuana laws as examples where California is currently defying the feds.

Wow; Singram couldn’t possibly sound more holier-than-thou if he tried.

But the reality of the situation is that California can’t just up and decide to secede – the rest of country would have to agree to it, too. However, Singram doesn’t seem to think that getting the approval of the other 49 states would be a problem:

“It’s not actually up to California. It’s up to the rest of the states whether California can really leave the union, and this could quite easily turn into conflict,” said the Fox News host. “It did in the 1860s when South Carolina tried it.”

Singram believes the other states would likely be happy to see California go.

“Do the rest of the states really love California? From what I’ve been hearing, we’re snowflakes and we’re hippies. We’re in huge debt crisis,” Singram said.

Well, he’s certainly not wrong there.

But while Singram clearly thinks Californians are better and smarter than everyone else (hey, sounds just like the feds!), his moronic comments pale in comparison to what Marcus Ruiz Evans, a spokesman for the CalExit initiative, said back in January:

“If California votes were taken away, Trump won the popular election,” said Evans. “So what kind of people elect a man like that? The answer: not Californians.”

I was wrong – Evans is the dumbest liberal.

If California wants to secede, I say go ahead; they can run themselves into ruin without help from the rest of the country.
