US President Donald Trump has retweeted a series of anti-Muslim videos from the leader of far-right party Britain First Jayda Fransen.
The three videos were posted by Fransen, who has previously been convicted by the courts of religiously aggravated harassment.
The videos purportedly show groups of Muslims committing acts of violence and vandalism, including one in which a group of people throw a teenage boy off a roof.

Having been founded in 2011 by former members of UKIP, Britain First has contested a series of elections without winning any seats to date.
The retweets arrived during a barrage of tweets on the social media site from the US President, with familiar topics such as accusing CNN and NBC of ‘fake news’.
Trump also said he had spoken with Chinese premier Xi Jinping and agreed to place additional sanctions on North Korea following the regime’s latest missile launch on Tuesday.
