Paladino: Saying Michelle Obama should live in Africa with apes wasn’t about race

The Trump-loving failed New York candidate for governor says it’s the fault of the press.

After a firestorm of criticism, Paladino defended himself in a lengthy statement Friday obtained by Albany Times Union. “It has nothing to do with race. That’s the typical stance of the press when they can’t otherwise defend the acts of the person being attacked,” he said. “It’s about 2 progressive elitist ingrates who have hated their country so badly and destroyed its fabric in so many respects in 8 years.”

“As for Barack, he’s a yellow-bellied coward who left thousands to die in Syria and especially Aleppo and he gets on TV and says he feels bad he couldn’t do anything about it,” he continued.”

“And yes, it’s about a little deprecating humor which America lost for a long time. Merry Christmas and tough luck if you don’t like my answer,” Paladino said.

    And Unhappy Holidays to you, mother*cker, and tough sh*t if you don’t like my answer. You should die a miserable, painful, lonely death. And that would still be too good for you. And then your remains should be left to rot in the sun, because even the crows and blowflies won’t have anything to do with you. How’s that for a little deprecating humor? And by the way, people usually refer to it as “self-deprecating humor,” where you take gentle cuts at yourself, not at others. Idiot.

      How frightening is it that his intelligence level is possibly even below Orange Twittler’s and he is just as racist while working on the board of a large school system? And eighteen year old kid ran against him and lost by forty votes, which I never believed to be legit.

      I would probably be arrested if I said to him what I think of him.

    If this guy can’t see his statement as racist there is no hope for him.

      Which is why he’s a perfect fit for the republicans.

    Soon he will have to defend Trump and some of his silliness

    “Just because I write and say blatantly racist things does not make me a racist!”

    If only I got a dollar every time I heard that …

      It’s this generation’s “But some of my best friends are …”

    Asshole has a history

      Assholes aren’t born full-blown. Takes years of dickery…

        And the republicans have perfected it.

    Erie Country Executive Mark Poloncarz is calling for his resignation from the Buffalo School Board. It is very unfriendly territory for this POS, so I hope they can get rid of him this time. I believe Governor Cuomo has made a statement about it also.

    But he isn’t a racist so it’s okay, right?………../s

    How much of the news would it occupy if anyone like this was ever part of the Obama camp?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d8494177d90aade14d5918d494e90f683d052083d05bc723cb96b5055d0f99f4.jpg

      But there’s nothing racist about any of that, right?

    FYI Paladino was the only member of the board to vote against the school’s non-discrimination rule. The rule added gender identity and sexual orientation to the policy.

    I understand completely. After all, when I say I hope Paladino is shot dead, it has nothing to do with my wishing him dead (although that wouldn’t be a bad thing).
