Trump sparked controversy in November after he retweeted a video from Fransen that purporting to show Muslims carrying out acts of violence against people and smashing a statute 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.

The White House defended Trump, saying he did not know about the ultranationalist group when he retweeted Fransen. The White House said Trump was highlighting the need for a discussion on immigration and national security. But Trump also fired back at May, urging her to focus on fighting terror threats in Britain.

The Twitter accounts of Fransen and Golding and their party were suspended after the November controversy.

1. Hate crimes, which can be easily defined, as seen in Britain, should also exist in USA. Because Nazi

invasions did not occur in USA is only reason there is none; all western countries have the 1st amendment in one form or another.

Why is religiously-aggravated harassment legal in America? i.e. Pam Gellar? Gorka? Trump? Fox? There should not be a profitable hate industry anywhere. You reap what you so or permit to grow. Hate in America is at this level because it is allowed to be.

Muslims being harassed in America...replace with "Christian" and there would be a real demand for hate speech laws as in Europe.

Millions died, including a few Americans, to defeat the Nazis and racist hatemongers. How are they still here and essentially encouraged to thrive??
