Former Republican New York Gov. George Pataki called Donald Trump a “know-nothing” candidate during CNN’s undercard debate Tuesday.

Pataki compared Trump’s proposed ban on all Muslims from entering the country to what the Know-Nothing Party did to Catholics more than a century ago.

“He is the Know-Nothing candidate of the 21st century and cannot be our nominee,” Pataki said.

    George wants a Reality TV show, too. Any ideas out there? Here’s mine:

George Pataki as he helps lovable refugees from a scary Muslim country turn into real Americans. 3 families compete to stay; only 2 will remain. The family that doesn’t make it goes back home to be jailed as decadent, Western, hotdog-eating spies.

  3. Hey, Mr Pataki, Donnie doesn’t want your endorsement…
