Three retweets of a British NeoFascist?

BLOTUS this morning. He retweets three anti-Muslim Twitter posts by Jayda Fransen - the Deputy Leader of Britain First.

EDIT: I'm not linking to the retweets because I don't want to bring that crap here. If you want to see them go to his twitter account.

EDIT EDIT: Here's a safe tweet about it from someone other than me:

This should be bigger news, but he's racist and idiotic every day that the media is normalizing it.

(translation)

The video appears to have originated in May and is from the Dutch site Dumpert. It is no longer there. According to weblog GeenStijl and De Telegraaf , the perpetrator was found and it turned out to be no Muslim or migrant at all.

GeenStijl, which published the video earlier this year on its video platform Dumpert, says that the French version of the video was indeed nonsense. GeenStijl reported that the perpetrator is "not a Muslim, let alone a migrant", but "just a Dutchman."

As a result of the images, in May, the police detained a sixteen-year-old boy from the municipality of Edam-Volendam for ill-treatment. A peer from Monnickendam was also arrested for involvement.
