Firebrand Queens Republican Vickie Paladino is hitting back at her City Council colleagues with a blistering lawsuit as she faces potential censure over social-media posts deemed Islamophobic. Paladino, 71, called the council Ethics Committee’s recent complaint against her “naked despotism” that infringed on her First Amendment rights to free speech, in the lawsuit to be filed Monday. She also accused council members of prejudice of their own for targeting her comments while allowing others to call President Trump a “pedophile” without evidence.
