Former New York Governor George Pataki may back Republican gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino, a Tea Party supporter who according to a New York Daily News story called Pataki a “degenerate idiot.”
“I would certainly be inclined to support him despite what he might have called me,” Pataki said during a Wall Street Journal-sponsored conference today on the state’s future. He said Paladino, a developer from Buffalo, must express his agenda “in a way that turns anger into policies.”
