Twitter Slams Trump For Retweeting Anti-Muslim Videos Posted By Jayda Fransen
Twitter users were furious after Donald Trump early Wednesday retweeted three anti-Muslim videos posted by a British far-Right group.
Trump, who has 43.5 million followers on the social networking site, retweeted videos, one of which purports to show a group of Muslims pushing a boy off a roof. The posts were from posts by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of the far-right group Britain First — founded in 2011 by former members of the far-right British National Party (BNP).
The videos posted by Fransen are captioned "Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!", "VIDEO: Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!" and "VIDEO: Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!"
Britain First, a political organization with a British ultranationalist ideology, responded to the Trump retweets of its deputy leader.
Earlier this month, Fransen was found guilty of religiously aggravated harassment for verbally abusing a Muslim woman wearing a hijab.
Twitter users slammed Trump for retweeting the posts.
