Trump Retweets Inflammatory and Unverified Anti-Muslim Videos
The Washington Post‘s Ashley Parker and John Wagner report, “President Trump on Wednesday shared three inflammatory anti-Muslim videos on Twitter posted by a far-right British activist.” The source of the tweets, Jayda Fransen, is the deputy leader of Britain First, an anti-Muslim extremist group. Fransen was convicted of harassment last year for abusing a woman wearing a hijab. Parker and Wagner write, “Following Trump’s retweets, Fransen took to Twitter to tout the U.S. president’s promotion of her videos.”
