'It is unconscionable that an American president would mock Islam and Muslims in such a derogatory manner,' a spokesperson for the Council on American-Islamic Relations told Newsweek.
In a follow-up tweet, Trump wrote:"The Democrats and the Fake News are trying to make terrorist Soleimani into a wonderful guy, only because I did what should have been done for 20 years."
Defending the president's retweet in an interview with Fox News, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said:"The president is making clear the Democrats are parroting Iranian talking points and almost taking the side of terrorists and those out to kill Americans."
