The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) held a press conference responding to what it called President Trump’s “incitement to violence against American Muslims” after he retweeted Islamophobic videos from far-right group Britain First.

“Hate speech leads to hate crimes. When hate speech and conspiracy theories against American minorities go unchallenged, they foster an atmosphere that causes hate crimes.”
