Trump account retweets anti-Muslim videos
Source: BBC
Donald Trump's Twitter account has retweeted three inflammatory anti-Muslim videos from a British far-right group.
The first tweet from Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, claims to show a Muslim migrant attacking a man on crutches.
This was followed by two more videos of people Ms Fransen claims to be Muslim.
Britain First was founded in 2011 by former members of the far-right British National Party (BNP).

The investigation related to the distribution of leaflets in the Thanet and Canterbury areas, and the posting of online videos during a trial held at Canterbury crown court the same month, officers said.

To give an idea of the kind of thing 'Britain First' gets up to. It's stirring up religious hatred.

As he is allowed to intensify his war against life, we know he can never get "well," it will only get worse.
What the #### are they waiting for? How on earth can they justify allowing a conspicuous madman'skeeping the leadership position?

Donald Trump retweeted a video posted by a far-right street activist that says Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!

LONDONDonald Trump retweeted an apparent snuff video to his 40 million followers Wednesday morning, with footage depicting what looked like a brutal murder carried out by an ISIS mob that had been posted by a far-right British political activist.
The extraordinary act by a sitting president was apparently a tweet too far even for Trump's staunchest allies such as a prominent editor at InfoWars, who admitted this was "not great optics."
The clip appears to show ISIS radicals throwing a man from the roof of a building and then beating him as he lay on the ground. The footage was part of a series of videos posted by an Islamophobic street campaigner called Jayda Fransen.
Fransen, the deputy leader of far-right group Britain First, is due to appear in court next month after being charged with threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior during one of her anti-terrorism rallies in Britain this past summer.

(101,321 posts)Jayda Fransen, 30, was fined nearly £2,000 for wearing a political uniform and shouting at Sumayyah Sharpe during a "Christian patrol" of Bury Park in Luton, on Saturday 23 January.
Fransen admitted telling Ms Sharpe that Muslim men force women to cover up to avoid being raped "because they cannot control their sexual urges", adding "that's why they are coming into my country raping women across the continent".
Ms Sharpe was with her four young children at the time.

It was a cowardly attack by a man armed with a firearm and a knife. Jo Cox was shot three times and suffered multiple stab wounds.
During the course of the murder Thomas Mair was heard by a number of witnesses to say repeatedly Britain First.

Yesterday, Joe said to go back and look at the interview tapes from the 80's and 90's and it's clear he's mentally deteriorating.
I agree, he's looney toons but the more MSM is calling him what he is (unhinged) the more it gets accepted in the public consciousness. It's accumulative, IMO.
Perhaps there will be mounting calls from the public for a medically necessary intervention?
FFS, the President is re-tweeting SNUFF FLICKS! This is insane. This can NOT be normalized.
