Donald Trump promoted a video from a pro-Trump group calling for Democrats to be killed.
The video came from the group “Cowboys for Trump,” and Trump retweeted it to his followers on Wednesday night.
In the video Couy Griffin, the head of “Cowboys for Trump,” says, “I’ve come to the conclusion that the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”
“Thank you Cowboys,” Trump wrote in response to the violence-inciting video.
Trump’s promotion of the video was widely criticized on the social media site.
