GOP Candidate Carl Paladino Calls Adolf Hitler 'The Kind Of Leader We Need Today'

WASHINGTON ― Republican House candidate Carl Paladino praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s ability to rouse “the crowds” and declared Hitler “the kind of leader we need today” in a February 2021 interview on the radio station WBEN in Buffalo, New York.

Paladino, a businessman and leading GOP figure in New York state who was the party’s gubernatorial nominee in 2010, is running for the Republican nomination to replace the retiring Rep. Chris Jacobs (R-N.Y.).

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), chair of the House Republican Conference, the third-ranking position in GOP House leadership, swiftly endorsed Paladino after Jacobs announced his retirement. Jacobs became a target of conservative gun rights activists following his endorsement of limited gun control measures.

When presented with Paladino’s statement that Hitler is “the kind of leader we need today,” Stefanik claimed it was taken out of context.

1. I don't think the Jewish people in that district would like hearing that

The Democratic candidates campaign needs to highlight that if he is the Republican nominee

2. I'm not sure what context

would make Paladino’s statement acceptable, but Stefanik is fully indoctrinated in the cult now so she know it’s verboten to criticise a MAGA Republican no matter what crazy crazy offensive things they say or do.

3. They've believed this for a long time...

They just don't hide it anymore. They don't think they have to. They think we're on the verge of the "Final Solution." And, of course... "Drumpf's president! We don't have to be afraid anymore!"

Told everyone that was a threat. And now, here we are.

When Nazis tell you who they are... believe them.

4. I think he made it clear. No context issue.
