Carl Paladino was a big booster of Trump during the presidential campaign.
But he says his comments weren’t about race.
The New York co-chair of President-elect
Donald Trump’s campaign made racist and sexist comments about first lady
Michelle Obama in a recent interview, suggesting that she was really a man and should live in Africa.
In an interview with
ArtVoice published Friday, Carl Paladino said that in 2017 the thing he would most like to see go away was Michelle Obama.
“I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla,” he said.
Asked what he would like to see happen in 2017, Paladino wished death on President
Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s senior advisers.
“Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford [sic]. 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,” Paladino said.
The Huffington Post contacted Paladino to verify the comments, but he declined to respond.
