New York Tea Party movement Republican candidate for Governor Carl Paladino is quickly proving to be the most reprehensible candidate in this election cycle – and one now taking on baggage faster then a conveyor belt.
And the news with his name on it doesn’t stop.
The latest is news from both the New York Post (a Rupert Murdoch owned paper that he chose to go to war against) and the New York Daily News. Despite his comments about gays (he tried to backtrack from them and created new controversies with his wording on that) it now turns out that he made money off a gay club — and his nephew was so upset about his Uncle’s comments that he didn’t show up a Paladino’s ampaign headquarters.
Not the kind of news stories that build a candidacy.
