Even some of Trump's prominent allies are appalled that he's now promoting neo-fascist propaganda

In an early morning Twitterstorm, President Donald Trump retweeted a pro-fascist activist in Britain, who published videos of an alleged Muslim attacking non-Muslims.

Dutch media claimed that the culprit involved wasn’t a Muslim. Nor was he a migrant. Rather he is a 16-year old Dutch boy from town of Edam-Volendam. He was reportedly arrested on May 13, one day after the incident happened.




According to a Washington Post reporter, “one of Trump’s anti-Muslim videos is from July 2013 in Egypt, following the military coup of President Morsi, which prompted protests/clashes throughout the country.”













Washington Free Beacon reporter Alex Grisold tweeted another concerning information about the woman that Trump was “obsessively” retweeting this morning. The story was from, Jayda Frasen, who was convicted of religiously aggravated harassment in November 2016 after she abused a woman wearing a hijab.

Britain First claims to want a Bill of Rights similar to our own, but they oppose freedom of religion and want to ban Islam. They also want to ban use of the word "racism" by the British media and want to shut down the BBC.

A racist, anti-Semitic conspiracy web site.

This was in Haaretz.
So much for the "liberal media."

That Paul Joseph Watson?

Are you sure PJW wasn't hacked?

You've got a serious problem when one of the major tinfoil Infowars guys thinks you are acting recklessly.
