Washington (CNN) A top Donald Trump supporter drew fire Wednesday for a tweet that he says was a "well-intended mistake," which seemed to call for the lynching of Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

The tweet from New York businessman and former gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino said "Lynch @LorettaLynch let the Grand Jury decide," according to reports and screen grabs on Twitter.

The message was replaced with another that simply said "@LorettaLynch let the Grand Jury decide."

Paladino was apparently weighing in on FBI Director James Comey's announcement that the bureau would recommend no charges in the investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server. The matter is now referred to the Justice Department, and Lynch -- the country's first female African-American attorney general -- has said she'll accept the recommendations of the FBI and career prosecutors in the Justice Department.

The Buffalo businessman seemed to be making the case that a grand jury should make the final call.
