Paladino Said Black People Are Held ‘Hungry And Dumb’ While Insisting He Wasn’t Racist

Except Uncle Fester could light up a light bulb. Paladino couldn’t muster more than a flicker.

Carl Paladino: Black people don’t think for themselves, they just do what Democrats say.

Also Carl Paladino: I don’t think for myself, I just repeat what other people say.

WTF… He’s playing to his base?

I was thinking the same thing. I doubt Paladino’s hackneyed notions about Blacks were independently derived.

He should keep talking. I’m hoping that he goes down the list of racial and ethnic slurs - telling each group, by name, how they need to reclaim the epithet for their own. It will do wonders for the party’s image and his candidacy.

Remember folks, Stefanik sees nothing wrong with anything Paladino says because it’s smack dab in the middle of the Republican mainstream!

I’m hoping that the DNC reruns this 2016 interview clip:

  • in Buffalo and
  • in Stefanik’s district.

Shorter Palladino: Ignore everything I’ve said in the past, and most of what I say now. The only guy less racist that I am is Donald Trump, but I’m pretty close.
