Carl Paladino, who co-chaired President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign in New York, issued a lengthy statement on Tuesday amid continuing uproar over racially offensive comments he made about President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.In a press release, Paladino apologized to the “minority community” for his remarks, which appeared in a feature that was published in the Western New York weekly Artvoice on Dec. 23. Paladino blamed the comments on an “emotional” reaction to President Obama’s handling of the situation in Syria and accidentally hitting the wrong button in his email.“I never intended to hurt the minority community who I spent years trying to help out of the cycle of poverty in our inner cities. To them I apologize,” began Paladino, who has been a member of the school board in Buffalo, N.Y., since 2013.Paladino, a billionaire real estate entrepreneur and former gubernatorial candidate who has reveled in a reputation for inflammatory comments, also took shots at “progressive haters” and the media in his statement.
"Mike got upset that I was tweeting some things about Jewish people," he tweeted. "I don't hate Jews, but there are some things that I like to talk about. I'm alt-right, I've always been alt-right. I've never said I'm not alt-right unlike Mike Cernovich, Paul Joseph Watson, Milo and these other cucks. I've always been alt-right."
I do that too, but I'm usually drunk, not 'emotional'. Fortunately, I rarely have to apologize for it, being in such a 'tolerant crowd' here.
And of course he is not and never has been a racist. </sarcasm>
I was having a conversation with someone the other day about Paladino's remarks. The other guy said "he had to be drunk to say that."
All alcohol does is drop the societal filters that keep one's inner thoughts from getting out.If he said it while drunk, then that's his true thoughts on the matter.
Who needs Sodium Pentothal when scotch works just as well?As Ron (Tater) White famously stated......They told me I had the right to remain silent. I did not have the ability.
