A top aide to White Wisconsin Governor says it is 'Nightmare to be Around Non-white Illegal Immigrants'
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign finance chairwoman has been fired for…wait for it…making racist comments via email and Twitter.
Taylor Palmisano, who is white, first penned a fundraising email that urged parents to forgo presents for their own children during their Black Friday shopping sprees. Instead, Palmisano wrote, they should send that money to her boss’s campaign for the upcoming governor’s race in Wisconsin.
Next, according to a report from Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a couple of Palmisano tweets surfaced from 2011. To wit: In January, she wrote: “This bus is my worst fu*king nightmare Nobody speaks English & these ppl don’t know how 2 control their kids #only3morehours #illegalaliens.”
Palmisano followed that gem with a second tweet in March of 2011: “I will choke that illegal mex cleaning in the library. Stop banging fu*king chairs around and turn off your Walkman.”
Walker also had to fire Steve Kriesler, his assistant deputy secretary at the state Department of Transportation, for a similar Facebook rant. Kriesler compared undocumented immigrants to Satan.
