Sure, Right....
Carl P. Paladino, one of presidential candidate Donald Trump’s top supporters in Buffalo, Wednesday suggested via Twitter that U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch be lynched.
The tweet was deleted about a half hour later, and Paladino sent the following tweet to a reporter at WGRZ afterwards, from an assistant named “Jackie”:
“I work for Carl, I’m new to twitter & tweeted what Carl asked but made mistake of adding Lynch. My bad.”
Reached via phone shortly thereafter, Paladino repeated that the tweet was a mistake made by his assistant, Jackie O’Bannon.
Hope Hicks, Trump’s campaign spokesperson, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Paladino’s email.
But Sean England, a Buffalo native who serves as a spokesman for Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton SuperPAC, was quick to respond.
“Appalling tweet from a @realDonaldTrump surrogate. Paladino promotes the same bigotry as the candidate he supports,” England tweeted.
Innocent Mistake by a new to Twitter Assistant?
