LONDON (AA) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s official Twitter account retweeted a series of inflammatory anti-Muslim videos originally posted by the deputy leader of a fringe British far-right group on Wednesday.
The three videos were previously tweeted by Britain First deputy leader Jayda Fransen, who was convicted by a U.K. in November 2016 court of religiously aggravated harassment.
The videos were automatically tweeted and retweeted by at least three accounts associated with the group.
Britain First is well known in the U.K. for anti-Islamic outbursts, anti-mosque protests plus street and online provocations.
It has carried out so-called “Christian patrols” in English cities and stormed into mosques.
A tweet on Fransen’s account later acknowledged the Trump retweets, adding: “GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP! GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
