President Donald Trump retweeted a video from the account of a supporter who had previously tweeted several anti-Semitic and racist statements showing him hitting Hillary Clinton with a golf ball.
The doctored video was retweeted on Sunday from the account of someone named Mike, whose account goes by the handle @Fuctupmind.
The text accompanying the video reads “Donald Trump’s amazing golf swing #CrookedHillary.”

The section of the video showing Clinton getting hit with the golf ball and falling into a plane comes from footage of her in 2011 tripping while boarding an airplane in Yemen.
Buzzfeed reported Sunday that the Twitter account where the image originated makes racial, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBT comments.
Trump has retweeted images that encourage violence from supporters in the past, including a video of him wrestling CNN to the ground.
