Paladino Pops Silver Again; Yet Another Round of Lies and Misrepresentations
Paladino’s act should have been retired before he got the chance to run as GOP candidate for NYS governor, but he continues to show why he is the wrong candidate for the job.
Smearing political opponents is common; smearing those against whom you’re not even running is bad - lying and misrepresenting your background shows just how bad this guy is.
He’s lied about his role in a 1970 student takeover at Syracuse U, where he claimed to be the hero who ended the takeover while a law student there (one of the student leaders disputes those claims).
He smears Speaker Silver - calling him at turns a criminal and Hitler (Silver’s an Orthodox Jew).
Oh, and if he wins in November, Paladino will have to work with Silver and fix the state budget. That will turn out just famously.
