Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump retweeted a user named “WhiteGenocideTM” on Friday, after the account posted a photo mocking Jeb Bush.

“Poor Jeb. I could’ve sworn I saw him outside Trump Tower the other day!” the tweet reads, along with a photoshopped picture of the former Florida governor holding a sign that says “Vote Trump.”

The page for the White Genocide account shows the location of the user as “Jewmerica” and features a banner that says “Get the Fuck Out of my Country.”

Additionally, the user’s profile picture is an image of George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party.

Also on the account is a link to a site called “The Greatest Story Never Told,” which features a series of documentary videos defending Adolf Hitler.

Twitter users, including Bush spokesman Tim Miller, quickly criticized Trump for retweeting the account:

The Godwin's Double: Trump's anti-Jeb retweets now include one from a Nazi's account and another calling Jeb a Nazi.

if anyone else were to re-tweet “whitegenocide” and “jewmerica” there’d be craziness. instead in TrumpLand we just shrug.
