President Donald Trump went on a short retweet spree Wednesday, sharing videos purporting to show Muslims beating up innocent civilians and desecrating Christian icons.
In three retweets from his personal Twitter account @realDonaldTrump, the president shared videos from an account associated with Jayda Fransen, leader of the Britain First party.
The original tweets from the account @JaydaBF came from late Tuesday night, and all three were shared by the president.

In one of the more disturbing videos that the president shared, an “Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death,” according to the tweet.

There are many other short videos on the account linked to Frasen that Trump did not share, and the operator of the Britain First twitter handle was ecstatic at the retweets from Trump.
“THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP, HAS RETWEETED THREE OF DEPUTY LEADER JAYDA FRANSEN’S TWITTER VIDEOS!,” the account tweeted, noting Trump’s 44 million followers. “GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP! GOD BLESS AMERICA!,” the tweet added.

It’s unclear whether Frasen, 31, who is deputy leader of the Britain First party, is currently running the account. Frasen was arrested in London by Irish police Nov. 19 for “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior” displayed at a rally in Belfast, Ireland, in August.
The White House did not immediately return The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
