Meia MattersPaladino announced on June 3 that he is running as a Republican for New Yorks 23th Congressional District (which includes part of the Buffalo suburbs) after Republican Rep. Chris Jacobs said that he would drop his reelection bid. Jacobs made the move after he lost party backing for saying he would support gun safety measures.
Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third-ranked Republican member of Congress, announced that she is supporting Paladinos campaign. President Donald Trump also recently praised Paladino.
Paladino is a longtime Republican politician and businessman who has also appeared as a commentator on media outlets over the years and briefly hosted a podcast. He has a history of bigoted remarks, including stating that he wanted to see Michelle Obama return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla and hoped that former President Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford.
Shortly before he announced his candidacy, Paladino shared a post on June 1 to his Facebook page responding to the recent tragedies in Buffalo and Uvalde by pushing conspiracy theories about shootings. The post, which was written by someone named Jeff Briggs, claimed that gun control is actually population control and mass shootings tended to explode when there is a Democrat in the WH who would not hesitate to revoke the 2nd amendment and take away guns.
Regarding the Buffalo and Uvalde tragedies, the post stated: In almost every mass shooting including the most recent horrific Buffalo Tops Market & the Texas school shootings, there are strange occurrences that are never fully explained. How did an 18 yr old obtain $5000 in weapons and a $70k truck? Why were the officers told to stand down when their training just two months ago instructed them to rush in. The man who rushed in was a Border Patrol agent who defied the onsight officers instructions. The absence of crisis leaders reminds me of the broken cameras and napping guards when Epstein committed suicide.

In 2010 Paladino got 32% of the vote as Republican candidate for NY-GOV.

(3,845 posts)5. Uh, wasn't Trump in charge when Epstein "committed suicide"
and went off to hell with all that information about Trump???
Conspiracy theories seem to forget that most mass shootings take place under Republican Presidents.

And most of that was in the counties that make up the new district. (shudder)
