Buffalo School Board To Racist Stormtrumper: "You're Fired!" (UPDATED)



Carl "Porno" Paladino, New York co- chair of the campaign of neo- fascist white nationalist Donald "Rump" Trump, was ousted from the Buffalo School Board after he made racist remarks about the President and First Lady, including his wishing the President to die in 2017:
The Buffalo School Board voted Thursday to oust one of its members, Carl Paladino, the Trump campaign official who drew widespread condemnation for his racist attack on Michelle Obama last week. 
“Words matter, Mr. Paladino,” School Board President Barbara Seals Nevergold said during a board meeting, which Paladino did not attend. “The impact on children of color, especially African-American children is incalculable … They would like me to tell you, ‘You’re fired.'”  [snip]
The board’s resolution said that Paladino’s “unambiguously racist, morally repugnant, flagrantly disrespectful, inflammatory and inexcusable comments” had “garnered both local, national, and international attention that reflects negatively on the Buffalo Board of Education, the City of Buffalo and its leadership and its citizens.” 
They did the right thing. Good for the school board, the people, and especially the children, of Buffalo.

UPDATE: Not surprisingly, the asshole is refusing to resign.
