President Trump on Wednesday shared three inflammatory anti-Muslim videos on Twitter posted by a far-right British activist, drawing backlash from across Britain, including a sharp rebuke from the British prime minister's office. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment as to why the president retweeted Fransen’s provocative and unverified videos. Following Trump’s retweets, Fransen took to Twitter to tout the U.S. president’s promotion of her videos. “By his unconscionable and irresponsible actions this morning, President Trump is clearly telling members of his base that they should hate Islam and Muslims,” said Nihad Awad, the group’s national executive director. Spreading hatred has consequences & the President should be ashamed of himself.”The anti-Muslim group Britain First posted a video of their march through Luton, England.
