Meet New York’s New Anti-Abortion, Anti-Gay Marriage, Anti-Mosque, Pro-Racism, Pro-Bestiality, GOP Candidate
Yes, last night, New Yorkers elected the Tea Party candidate who will run for Governor under the GOP banner, Carl Paladino. Paladino says in this Rick Sanchez/CNN interview his Tea Party-based, supposed small government administration will use “eminent domain” to seize the land of the proposed “Ground Zero Mosque.”
Paladino, you’ll remember, was considered the long-shot after the news of emails he sent that were racist, misogynistic, included pornographic videos of bestiality, and used the “N” word.”
Paladino claims he has no ambitions. “I have no political aspirations, I don’t seek power… I have no ego to fulfill. I’m going to Albany to take a government down.”
OK…
And then, perhaps he can explain this:
Rick says to Paladino, “Same-sex marriage. Where do you stand on that?”
Paladino: “No.”
Rick: “Abortion. What is your position on that?”
Paladino: “No.”
Paladino then goes on to say he doesn’t believe in abortion even for rape victims. “Then the baby can be adopted.”
Rick: “What is it’s a case of incest?”
Paladino: “Then the baby can be adopted.”
Paladino says he has the “intestinal fortitude to take on the demons.”
Whose demons?
