The leader of a far-right British political group who was retweeted by President Trump has been found guilty of hate crimes.
Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, was found guilty on three counts of religiously aggravated harassment, BBC News reported Wednesday. Britain First leader Paul Golding was found guilty on one count.
Fransen and Golding were found guilty for posting videos during a gang rape trial, where three Muslim men and a teenager were convicted. They filmed themselves targeting people they believed were connected to that case and released the videos on social media and the party's website.
Oh, well they seem nice.
And their Islamophobic points of view earned them a fan in America:
Trump sparked controversy in November after he retweeted a video from Fransen that purported to show Muslims carrying out acts of violence against people and smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary.
British Prime Minister Theresa May criticized Trump for the tweet, and London's mayor urged authorities to cancel a planned visit.
Boy not only does Trump hire the very best people to work in the White House but he makes the very best online friends as well.
