DONALD TRUMP sparked worldwide condemnation yet again yesterday after he retweeted a string of anti-Muslim videos by the deputy leader of far-right group Britain First.
The posts by Jayda Fransen, who is currently facing multiple charges of causing religiously aggravated harassment, included unverified videos titled “Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!” and “Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!”
At least 20 videos of a similar nature were posted in a 24-hour period on Ms Fransen's page, three of which were retweeted by US president’s account to his 43.6 million followers.
