“I was thinking the other day about somebody had mentioned on the radio Adolf Hitler and how he aroused the crowds. And he would get up there screaming these epithets and these people were just — they were hypnotized by him. That’s, I guess, I guess that’s the kind of leader we need today. We need somebody inspirational. We need somebody that is a doer, has been there and done it, so that it’s not a strange new world to him. I look around at the politicians that we’ve elected locally and I, I just can’t [unintelligible] on a federal level, I can’t get comfortable with the RINO-ism. And on a state level, we — our Republicans are sound asleep. They’re not an anti-government group. They don’t get up with new press releases to comment on this issue, comment on that issue. I mean, there should be a debate going on in the newspaper every day” – Upstate New York Republican House candidate Carl Palladino in a 2021 radio interview, via Media Matters.
“Carl is a job creator and conservative outsider who will be a tireless fighter for the people of New York in our fight to put America First to save the country,” tweeted shrill battle axe Elise Stefanik on Friday night. We’re sure her endorsing a fan of the dictator who wiped out a third of the global population of Jews through systemic execution and started a war that killed tens of millions more, including 7 million of his own people, is just a distraction from $5 gallon gas and the border crisis.
