Piers Morgan Thinks Trump Owes Theresa May Apology For Endorsing 'Islamophobe Fascists'

British journalist Piers Morgan said late Wednesday that President Donald Trump "owes" U.K.'s Prime Minister Theresa May an apology and not a lecture for endorsing "the most extreme bunch of Islamophobe fascists in Britain."

Morgan's tweet came hours after Trump attacked May for criticizing his retweets of anti-Muslim videos posted by the deputy leader of a British far-right group.

Trump is yet to respond to Morgan's comments, and the television personality said he hopes the president makes a "U-turn," just the way he did when Morgan made a similar criticism about his lifting of a ban on importing elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia.

“Theresa@theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!” Trump tweeted Wednesday evening in response to May calling him "wrong" for retweeting three videos about alleged Islamist violence.

However, the “@theresamay” Twitter handle that Trump targeted did not belong to the British prime minister, but to a woman called Theresa Scrivener. Minutes later Trump deleted and reposted the tweet, this time with the correct handle.

On Wednesday, Trump retweeted three videos posted by far-right group Britain First's deputy leader Jayda Fransen.

One video claimed to show a Muslim man destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary, another showed a “Muslim migrant” beating up a “Dutch boy on crutches,” and a third seemed to show Muslim men pushing a boy off a building.

“Britain First seeks to divide communities through their use of hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions. They cause anxiety to law-abiding people," a spokesman for the Downing Street said.

“British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents - decency, tolerance and respect," he said, adding: “It is wrong for the President to have done this.”

Trump's tweet triggered outrageous reactions in Britain, including from Brendan Cox, the husband of lawmaker Jo Cox who was murdered in 2016 by a far-right extremist.

"You have a mass shooting every single day in your country, your murder rate is many times that of the UK, your healthcare system is a disgrace, you can't pass anything through a Congress that you control. I would focus on that," Cox tweeted.
