Washington (CNN)Donald
Trump's penchant for retweets once again raised eyebrows, after he
recirculated a tweet on Friday from a user with the handle
"WhiteGenocideTM."
The profile --
with about 2,300 followers -- used the name "Donald Trumpovitz," linked
to a website containing a pro-Adolf Hitler documentary, featured a
background photo with red lettering saying "Get the F--- Out of My
Country" and had a location of "Jewmerica." The account also includes a
photo of George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party.
The
account's Twitter feed was largely a collection of retweets about
violence allegedly committed by African-American suspects and anti-Arab
posts.
The tweet Trump actually
reposted from the user, however, was a photoshopped image of the GOP
front-runner's opponent Jeb Bush, depicting him as a disheveled beggar
outside Trump Tower.
As he always does,
Trump manually retweeted the user, meaning he copied and pasted the
full tweet into his post rather than clicking a button to send the tweet
to his followers.
"@WhiteGenocideTM: @realDonaldTrump Poor Jeb. I could've sworn I saw him outside Trump Tower the other day!" the tweet read.
Trump has repeatedly gotten
heat for his retweets, which all appear to be selected specifically by
his account. When he retweeted a post insulting Iowans in October, he
apologized and blamed an intern for the mistake.
