Comedian and late-night talk show host Bill Maher slammed California for its underperforming education system and lengthy permitting delays for green energy development.“I say this with love, [Democrats are] losing to the Waffle House, car-on-the-lawn states,” Maher said on Real Time with Bill Maher Friday.
“Mississippi is kicking our ass in education, and for way less money,” Maher said.
He quoted a statistic from the New York Times that said, “A black Mississippi child is two and a half times as likely to be proficient in reading by fourth grade as a black California child.”
Maher said California ranks 37th in fourth-grade reading, and Mississippi is ninth.
He also highlighted Texas’s dominance in green energy over California, noting the Lone Star State’s policies allow for faster installation of solar. He said Texas’s installation timeline is about three to four months.
