The Buffalo News reports:
Republican congressional candidate Carl Paladino said on a radio show last week that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland “probably should be executed” following the raid of Donald Trump’s estate in Mar-a-Lago.
“… an administration with people like Garland, who should not only be impeached, he probably should be executed,” Paladino told Breitbart Radio host Matthew Boyle. “The guy is just lost. He’s a lost soul. He’s trying to get an image, and his methodology is just terrible. To raid the home of a former president is just … people are scratching their heads and they’re saying, ‘What is wrong with this guy?'”
Responding to a request for comment Wednesday, Paladino’s spokesperson Vish Burra reiterated that the congressional candidate was joking and that no further statement from Paladino was necessary.

Paladino earned national headlines in June when unearthed audio showed him effusively praising Hitler’s leadership.
Days later he denied and then later admitted posting a statement that called recent mass shootings “false flags.”
Longtime JMG readers will recall Paladino for his viciously anti-LGBTQ statements during his failed 2010 run for New York governor.
In a 2010 interview with an upstate newspaper, Paladino called Michelle Obama a male gorilla who should be “released to live in a cave in the outback of Zimbabwe.”
In the same interview he suggested that President Obama might die of mad cow disease because he’d been having sex with cows.
Around the same time, Paladino was exposed for forwarding racist cartoons that included depictions of bestiality.
