Exchange of the Day

December 23, 2016 · 1:05 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Failed New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino spoke to Artvoice, an alternative weekly in Buffalo:

ARTVOICE: What would you most like to happen in 2017?

PALADINO: Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford. He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarret, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her.

ARTVOICE: What would you most like to see go in 2017?

PALADINO: Michelle Obama. I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.

Paladino verified to The Buffalo News that he did make the comments.

Carl Paladino, Donald Trump’s New York co-chair, told the New York Observer that President Obama’s foreign policy proves he’s a Muslim.

“Carl Paladino, the campaign’s co-chair in New York and the 2010 gubernatorial nominee, said they will also rely on conventional get-out-the-vote efforts and blanketing the upstate region with signs and bumper stickers,” CNN reports.

Said Paladino: “Upstate will give us a wave in this election, and my instruction from HQ is really simple. It’s one word: Win. And that’s what we intend to do.”
