Trump supporter Carl Paladino refuses to resign for racist comments despite school board vote

Despite the Buffalo, New York School Board voting to oust fellow member Carl Paladino, he is refusing to resign, The Guardian reports.

Last week, Paladino said in an interview that he wanted to see President Obama dead of mad cow disease and First Lady Michelle Obama “return to being a male” and living with a gorilla in Zimbabwe. He later attempted to excuse the remarks because he was acting emotionally and swore his comments had “nothing to do with race.” He said his remarks were a kind of “old-style humor.”

How does voting someone out work if they don't have to leave?

1. School board members are usually elected.

Typically, they can't be simply fired. Voters have to recall them in another election. The only boss most elected officials have is the voters.

2. "I'm not racist but...."

If you have to clarify that, you are a racist!

3. I hope an angry gorilla

gets hold of him one day. To talk like that about our beautiful First Lady and POTUS. Damn!!!! Eight fucking years of this ignorance, stupidity and hate for ONE reason only and now we have real knuckle draggers, lowlifes and no telling what else crawling into 1600. What will their infection do? AmeriKKKa WTF did you do this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. An angry gorilla?

Wtf?

He lives in Buffalo, so not much chance of that.

What does your post mean?

5. of course he lives in buffalo

of course there is little chance of that happening. My post means what it says. I hope he gets what's coming to him and that is that the hate he has given out returns to him double, triple and that it hurts him badly. Maybe he'll be at a zoo and an angry gorilla gets him. That also goes for trumpfuhrer, his followers and the "soft" core racists trying to make like trump and his devotees like this palladino clown deserve some kind of kindness and understanding. That's what is implied in my post. Have a good one.

6. I can only hope an angry gorilla has its way with him.

And it will be more than deserved. He is a piece of shit hiding behind the color of his skin. I hope karma is swift for this bstard.
