Trump retweets anti-Muslim videos from British far-right extremist group

On November 29, 2017, President Trump retweets three anti-Muslim videos posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, a British far-right ultranationalist group whose leader had been convicted of religiously aggravated harassment. The videos 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!" The Netherlands Embassy in the United States publicly notes that the "Muslim migrant" in the first video was born and raised in the Netherlands and was not an immigrant. British Prime Minister Theresa May issues a statement: "It is wrong for the President to have done this." Fransen responds: "GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP! GOD BLESS AMERICA!" The White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defends the retweets, saying: "Whether it's a real video, the threat is real."
