Trump deletes retweet of white nationalist account
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday retweeted a user named “WhiteGenocideTM” before deleting the message.
“@realDonaldTrump, you always have the best crowds,” the tweet reads. “#MakeAmericaGreatAgain.”
Though deleted, the tweet was preserved by Politwoops and many Twitter users who shared screenshots:
Looks like @realDonaldTrump manually retweeted user "White Genocide" (again) and then deleted it. pic.twitter.com/Dv5KcoayoI

{mosads}The account’s profile picture includes the phrase “the man who would be Hitler” alongside an illustration of George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party.
It also lists the user’s location as “Jewmerica” and links to a documentary series defending Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Trump came under fire late last month for retweeting another post by the same user. That tweet mocked GOP presidential candidate in a crude photoshop with a sign reading “vote Trump.”
