Kongresskandidat i USA: ”Behövs en ledare som Hitler”
”Hitler är den sorts ledare vi behöver idag”. Det påståendet kommer från Carl Paladino, republikansk kongresskandidat från New York i höstens mellanårsval, skriver NBC News.
Uttalandet skedde i en radiointervju förra året men har nu uppmärksammats i bredare kretsar efter research av gruppen Media Matters for America.
Paladino har redan tidigare skapat uppmärksamhet denna vecka genom att påstå att masskjutningarna i Buffalo, New York och Uvalde var ”falsk-flagg-operationer”.

Carl Pasquale Paladino (born August 24, 1946) is an American businessman and political activist. Paladino is the chairman of Ellicott Development Co., a real estate development company he founded in 1973.Paladino ran for Governor of New York in the 2010 election. He upset Rick Lazio in the Republican primary, but was defeated by Democrat Andrew Cuomo (63%–33%) in the general election. Paladino's candidacy was supported by the Tea Party movement and by residents of his native Western New York.
Paladino was elected to the South Buffalo seat on the Buffalo School Board in 2013, and was re-elected in 2016. In December 2016, the Board condemned racist remarks that Paladino had made about President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama and demanded that he resign. On August 17, 2017, following a public hearing, the New York State Education Department removed Paladino from his Board seat for publicly disclosing confidential information obtained in executive session.
