Paladino Says ‘Lynch @LorettaLynch’ Tweet Was ‘Mistake’
The Trump campaign and the people supporting it are so basically fucked up and evil that I’ve just flat run out of words - I don’t know what to say here. Note that before he deleted it it garnered at least four likes - so typo or not you have Trump supporters liking a tweet that calls for Lynching.
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.
“Lynch @LorettaLynch let a Grand Jury decide,” Paladino, who has a long history of sending racially tinged emails, tweeted at 11 a.m. in reference to the attorney general, who is African-American.
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.”
