The Carl Paladino campaign team has added another political insider, Jennifer Nelson. Ms. Nelson recently left the office of Congressman Mike McMahon (D-Staten Island) amid a scandal involving anti-Semitism.
In the incident at McMahon's office, Nelson sent a reporter a list of contributors to McMahon's opponent, Mike Grimm. The list was titled "Grimm's Jewish Money, Q2," and told the reporter that his contributions included "a lot of Jewish money."
"She's got talent," said Paladino campaign manager Michael Caputo, "and Carl's got the money. That's why we're all here. We don't sweat the small stuff. Stone's a swinger and Haggerty was indicted. This is nothing."
Carl Paladino also spoke in support of Ms. Nelson: "The Jewish thing was clearly wrong. But political correctness, we don't need none of that here in Buffalo. We'll redirect her against the Muslims and that'll take care of things. Plus, if the Jews do get in behind Cuomo, it'll be good to have her on the team."
