Co-Chair Of NY Trump Camp: Khan Doesn't Deserve Title Of Gold Star Parent

Source: Talking Points Memo

The co-chair for Donald Trump’s campaign in New York is defending the Republican nominee's attacks against the Khan family, saying that Trump does not have to respect or refer to Khizr Khan as a "Gold Star parent" because he is "a member of the Muslim Brotherhood."

In an interview with "Imus in the Morning" interviewer Connell McShane, surfaced by BuzzFeed News, Carl Paladino said that focus in the election has unnecessarily shifted negatively to Trump, despite having an "un-indicted felon," presumably Hillary Clinton, in the race and a supporter of hers, Khan, being undeserving of the title of "Gold Star parent."

“We’ve got an un-indicted felon as his opponent and you’re talking about Khan, about him making a remark about this man,” he said. “All right, I don’t care if he’s a Gold Star parent," he continued. "He certainly doesn’t deserve that title, OK, if he’s as anti-American as he’s illustrated in his speeches and in his discussion. I mean, if he’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or supporting, you know, the ISIS-type of attitude against America, there’s no reason for Donald Trump to have to honor this man.”

Paladino, who made a failed bid for governor of New York in 2010, went on to say that he does not feel that Trump should change his rhetoric in any way and that no one can be sure that President Obama is not a Muslim.

As in - OUT of any sort of power position, elected or otherwise.

These are FOUL, VILE statements he's making. What a disgrace. But then again, he seems to be working for one.

for NYS governor when his racist emails surfaced.

The messages, which were published on WNYMedia.net, a Web site devoted to politics in western New York, included pornographic images and what appeared to be a video of Africans dancing in traditional dress that was titled “Obama Inauguration Rehearsal.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/13/nyregion/13paladino.html?_r=1


Last month Paladino sent an email to Utah delegate Stefani Williams telling her she should be "hung for treason" http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/15/politics/carl-paladino-donald-trump-delegate-threat/

He's such a perfect fit for Trump.

on whatever it is your about to speak, your "boy" is a fraud, he stiffed mom and pops out of contractor money due to them, (just a reminder, he and his organization has to pay over $300,000 plus the $34,000 he tried to stiff to a mom and pop down in Florida for starters) he also stiffed people with some grand scam at his defunct Trump University, that is under investigation and which he will have to testify, and just a reminder have you gone down to the nearest Barnes and Noble book store and got the book:


The Making of Trump by David Cay Johnston


you really should read this while lying in bed, then you can come out and speak about your "boy's character and his narcissistic psychopath tendencies and his ties to Roy Cohn, the NYC mob for example.

And just for giggles has your "boy" released his tax returns to see how honest he is?

Has for the Khan family, did your "boy" sacrifice anything in the name of honor and duty to country ----------------if so, name one, as far as I know they haven't-------------------not once, so for a reminder please show some empathy of this moment of sacrifice of this family and the Constitution if you have a heart:

Without getting smacked upside the head is truly a mystery. Can't the interviewer whip out a can of mace a hose them down? Maybe use a syringe of Thorazine. That would be must see tv right there.

I just love the insinuation the disagreeing with trump equals being anti American. Bunch of stinking pukebags.

He smeared then narrowly defeated his opponent, a high school student. He used his position to leak confidential negative information from the student's permanent record. What a guy!
