Paladino reaches settlement with the City Council taking down anti-Muslim tweets | amNewYork

The Republican legislator agreed to delete several tweets and clarify the personal nature of her X/Twitter account. The agreement stems from a disciplinary probe that City Council's Ethics Committee pursued against Paladino in March over anti-Muslim tweets she posted on her X account. Paladino then filed a lawsuit in response to prevent the council from taking any disciplinary actions against her, arguing that the committee was unevenly enforcing its anti-discrimination powers against her for exercising freedom of speech.
