Donald Trump retweets Britain First deputy leader's Islamophobic posts [View all]
Donald Trump has shared a series of Islamophobic tweets from far-right extremist group Britain First, sparking condemnation for spreading its "deplorable" ideology to a global audience.
The first video, originally shared by deputy leader Jayda Fransen's account, claimed to show "Muslim migrants beating up a Dutch boy on crutches"....
The content of the videos or their origin could not be independently verified, but local reports said the first showed the 2013 murder of a teenager who was himself likely to be a Muslim during riots over the coup against Mohamed Morsi....
His early-morning Twitter frenzy came days after Ms Fransen was arrested over a speech made at a rally in Belfast - the latest in a series of incidents over alleged hate speech, religious harrassment and incitement by Britain First members

If you wish to sign a letter of complaint about this to the American Ambassador to the UK, here's the link:

(Off-topic and a bit childish of me, but: is the Ambassador's name REALLY Woody Johnson? Somehow sounds more suitable for a porn star than a diplomat.)
