Angry Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Carl Paladino’s Gay Nephew Jeff Hannon Says He Was “Very Offended” By Uncle’s Reckless Reprehensible Anti-Gay Comments

Jeff Hannon, the gay 23 year old nephew of Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino spent Tuesday in seclusion at the Kenmore, New York home of his parents, a suburb of Buffalo, and as the New York Post reports, Hannon, referenced by his uncle as evidence the anti-gay angry Paladino is not a homophobe, said Tuesday of his uncle’s reckless remarks on homosexuality “Obviously, I’m very offended by his comments,” adding that he no further comments “right now.” Hannon, a graduate of SUNY-Buffalo in 2008 with a degree in political science, is a staff member on Paladino’s campaign, but has not been at the Buffalo campaign headquarters of Paladino since Sunday, the New York Daily News quoting a driver dropping off campaign material as saying “Everybody’s worried about him. He’s upset because of all the attention.”
