Sanders: Trump sharing anti-Muslim videos 'a new low'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday slammed President Trump for sharing videos purportedly showing violence committed by Muslims, calling it “a new low” for the president.

“But even for Trump, today's retweet of a series of offensive videos from a British right-wing, anti-Muslim fringe group reaches a new low. The goal of these videos is clear: to promote fear and hatred of Muslims, and to incite hostility toward a minority group,” Sanders said in a statement.

“I know that Trump is not much into history or the U.S. Constitution, but he ought to know that millions of men and women have struggled, fought and died to defend our democracy and the religious freedom that our Constitution guarantees.”
Sanders’s statement comes after Trump early Wednesday retweeted videos posted by a leader of a far-right nationalist group in Great Britain, a move that caused severe backlash against the president.

Of course, Scary Huckabee Sanders came back with.......

"I'm not talking about the nature of the video,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters.

“I think you're focusing on the wrong thing. The threat is real and that is what the president is talking about."
