GOP Candidate Says Merrick Garland Should Be Executed

New York congressional candidate Carl Paladino (R) said on a radio show that Attorney General Merrick Garland “probably should be executed” following the raid of Donald Trump’s estate in Mar-a-Lago, the Buffalo News reports.

When asked about his comment, Paladino quickly backtracked: “I’m just being facetious. The man should be removed from office. He shows his incompetence, he wants to get his face in front of the people and show he’s got some mettle to him, but his choice of issues and choice of methodology is very sad.”
