Trump Retweets Three Anti-Muslim Videos from Far-Right British White Nationalist Group Britain First

President Donald Trump retweets three inflammatory anti-Muslim videos on November 29, 2017, posted by Jayda Fransen, deputy leader of Britain First — a fringe British ultranationalist group whose rallies number in the hundreds. The videos, shared with Trump's 44 million Twitter followers, are captioned "Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!," "Muslim destroys a statue of Virgin Mary!," and "Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!" At least one video is immediately debunked: the Netherlands Embassy confirms the perpetrator in that video is a Dutch citizen, not a Muslim migrant. UK Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman states it is "wrong for the president to have done this," calling Britain First a group that spreads "hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions." It is the first time a sitting U.S. president has amplified the content of a convicted hate-crime offender to a global audience. Fransen had been convicted of religiously aggravated harassment for abusing a woman wearing a hijab.
