UPDATED: Trump Ally's '17 Wish List: Prez Obama 'Dies', Michelle 'Set Loose' In Africa

By ALLEGRA KIRKLAND Published DECEMBER 23, 2016, 12:52 PM EDT

The Buffalo real estate developer who served as New York co-chair for Donald Trumps campaign said his greatest hopes for 2017 are that President Barack Obama dies and that his wife Michelle is set loose in the outback of Zimbabwe.

True to form, Carl Paladino isnt backing down from the deeply offensive [link:http://artvoice.com/2016/12/23/want-2017-lot-different-opinions/#.WF1cb5OAOkpcomments] he made to alt-weekly newspaper Artvoice for their year-end survey of 42 locals about their wish lists for the coming year.

Of course I did, he [link:http://buffalonews.com/2016/12/23/carl-paladinos-harsh-2017-wish-list-causes-firestorm-social-media/told] the Buffalo News when asked for confirmation that he made the remarks about the president catching mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford and Michelle Obama returning to being a male.

Tell them all to go f*** themselves, Paladino added in reference to the News editors who put in the request for confirmation. "Tell that Rod Watson I made that comment just for him," he continued, referring to a News editor who is black.

Team Trump Statement Condemns ‘Reprehensible’ Remarks from Carl Paladino About Obamas

by Josh Feldman | 8:44 pm, December 23rd, 2016

A statement today from the Trump transition team makes it clear they condemn the comments made by New York campaign co-chair Carl Paladino.

Paladino’s 2017 “wish list” for a local news item included a desire to see President Obama dead and to send Michelle Obama “loose in the outback of Zimbabwe” with a gorilla. (Paladino argued that the latter was not racist.)

There were plenty of statements of condemnation today, but there was also this statement by the Trump transition team. Via USA Today:

“Carl’s comments are absolutely reprehensible, and they serve no place in our public discourse.”

They need hate like normal people need oxygen,

Buffalo, Palladino's home, is an old rust belt city that has lost half of its population since the 1970s, along most of its heavy industry. It's been starting to make a slow comeback in recent years, but the days when you could go from high school to a decent paying job in the steel mills or stamping plants are long gone and aren't coming back.

Carl Paladino is a Buffalo, New York, businessman, a former Republican candidate for New York governor, and the New York state co-chair of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

He’s also an unabashed racist pushing crude fantasies about bestiality.

In a four-question survey of local personalities in Artvoice, a Buffalo arts and culture website, Paladino took the opportunity to reveal his thoughts about outgoing US president Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. To the questions “What would you most like to happen in 2017?” and “What would you like to see go away in 2017?” he answered:


1. 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 [sic], who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady (sic) cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her.

This is not the Jim Crow South; this is NOT pre-Civil War America, and they did NOT win the election.

Even HAD they won, this STILL would be COMPLETELY and absolutely out of FUCKING bounds.

I hate every single Republican, as they are ALL responsible for this obscene behavior.

School board member Paladino continues to suck from the Buffalo Public School District (and the City of Buffalo) coffers in that he collects rental fees on properties he owns which are being used as charter schools. This obvious conflict of interest has been exposed but he still remains on the board, this enemy of public education. Paladino has much in common with other members of the new administration in many obvious ways. I personally know folks in town who love this creep with the same ardor in which they love their Great Orange Carbuncle. Each and every one of them are unapologetic racists. The City of Buffalo and Erie County, unfortunately and depressingly contain some of the most segregated communities in the US, with statistics bearing this out. We have our share of confederate flag waving racist idiots here in Great Lakes Country, not the majority, but enough of them to allow somebody like Paladino to gain a voice as well as a certain amount of political clout. Buffalo's burden.

By the way, this is my first post in many years. Glad to be back!

I have turned off all news so I don't have to hear/see these hateful, bible humpin', flag wavin' imbeciles ~ they look like they're straight out of central casting for the movie Deliverance. I truly feel sorry for those who are going to be hurt most by this disastrous outcome (most of whom voted for this con-man), including our planet and life around the globe. I live in horror of what I feel he will lead us into in the coming days. Hopefully, saner minds will prevail.

Why? I have a better chance of my donations doing good, without supporting a crumb bum like this guy.

NY governor candidate to reporter: 'I'll take you out'

CNN Political Unit

(CNN) - A confrontation Wednesday night between New York gubernatorial hopeful Carl Paladino and a reporter threatened to turn physical.

The dustup was captured in an exclusive cellphone video by CNN affiliate YNN Albany. It began with New York Post statehouse columnist Fred Dicker pressing Paladino to back up an explosive allegation he made to the Politico website Wednesday that his opponent, Andrew Cuomo, had taken "paramours" during his marriage to Kerry Kennedy.

"Do you have any evidence of the charge you made?"

"You'll get it at the appropriate time. You're not entitled to it," retorted Paladino, who then derided Dicker as Cuomo's "stalking horse" and "bird dog."
