City Council Democrats agreed to drop a planned disciplinary action against a Republican politician over X statements calling for the “expulsion of Muslims,” The Post has learned. The Democratic-dominated City Council said they’d drop their pursuit of Queens Councilwoman Vickie Paladino in exchange for her dropping a lawsuit over the matter and removing the title “council member” from her X account after already deleting the controversial tweets. Paladino, 71, filed a lawsuit against the council in March, claiming Democrats infringed on her First Amendment rights when the council’s Ethics Committee filed a complaint against her that could have led to disciplinary action, such as censure.
