LOL. And this is from The Observer- Publisher, Jared Kushner, Ivanka's husband.
Donald Trumps New York State campaign co-chairman insisted in an interview with the Observer that President Barack Obama is a Muslimand pointed to his policies in the Middle East as evidence.
Speaking over the phone for an unrelated story, Carl Paladinothe 2010 GOP candidate for governor of New Yorkabruptly changed subjects and assailed the sitting president and his policies. The Buffalo-based real estate developer and Tea Party activist maintained that Obama, a practicing Christian, has sought to mislead the public about his religious affiliation, but that the citizenry has not fallen for his falsehoods.
In the mind of the average American, there is no doubt he is a Muslim, Paladino said. He is not a Christian.
<snip>
Contrary to Paladinos assertions, the average American does not seem to believe there is no doubt the president is a Muslim: polls indicate only 18 to 29 percent of the populace identify him as an adherent of the worlds second-largest religion. However, surveys suggest a full two-thirds of Trump supporters believe the president has hidden his true allegiances to the Quran and the holy city of Mecca.
<snip>
This is far from Paladinos first brush with controversy. During his 2010 run for governor, he came under fire for comments he made about the attire at gay pride parades, and for a series of emails he had allegedly sent over the yearsemails that included pictures of nude women, videos of horses copulating with humans and material that seemed to compare African-Americans to chimpanzees.

(26,060 posts)The only place people don't think that imbecile is an asshole is where he lives in Buffalo. Here were the results when he ran against Cuomo for governor:
Preliminary results showed Paladino earning 1,406,382 votes, or 34% of the total tally. He finished second to Andrew Cuomo, who had 61% of the vote.[36] Paladino won all eight counties in the Buffalo media market but only a few counties outside of that region, all of which were rural counties in upstate New York.
He wont be helping donnie in NY.

(26,060 posts)going to win but that's a much bigger margin than anyone expected. Paladino's campaign was so sleazy, so low down, so low class, I can't believe donnie thinks he's going to help him here in NY (where I expect Hillary is going to win by double digits).

He's a Muslim, who spent *years* in Rev. Wright's church... and the disconnect never bothered them.
