Florida senator Randy Fine who will be running for a congressional seat being vacated by Mike Waltz, Donald Trump’s nominee for national security advisor, issued an open threat to the two Muslim Congresswomen — Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. With a ‘BombsAway’ hashtag, Randy Fine wrote, “The Hebrew Hammer is coming,” Fine, who is Jewish, wrote in a post on X. “[Rashida Tlaib] and [Ilhan Omar] might consider leaving before I get there.” President-elect Donald Trump has endorsed Randy in the Congress race.
Both Tlaib and Omar called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict and Tlaib is the only member of Congress of Palestinian descent. Randy Fine, on the other hand, is a staunch supporter of Israel and is known for his anti-Muslim comments.
Fine accused President Joe Biden of hiring Muslim terrorists to work in the White House because of the appointment of former diplomat Maher Bitar, a man of Palestinian descent, to work on intelligence policy. Fine repeatedly called Biden “Jihad Joe”.
When a Turkish American activist was killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank earlier this year, Fine wrote in a post on X: “Throw rocks, get shot. One less Muslim terrorist. Fire Away.”
In 2019, Fine referred to a Jewish constituent who defended a forum titled “Palestine/Israel, Opening the Dialogue” as “Judenrat,” a term referring to Jews who collaborated with Nazis during the Holocaust. The comments were made on Facebook, according to the Jerusalem Post and the Orlando Sentinel.
Republican Randy Fine, just elected to a state Senate seat in Brevard County, is a candidate in the special election in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, now an open seat as incumbent Michael Waltz is resigning to serve as national security adviser to President-elect Donald Trump.
“@realDonaldTrump needs fighters who will Make America Wealthy Again, Make American Safe Again, and someone who will stand up for Israel,” Fine announced on his X page on Tuesday morning. “That is why today I’m announcing my candidacy for FL 6th Congressional District Join me in my fight by going to http://VoteRandyFine.com.”
Endorsing Fine, Trump wrote: “I am hearing that America First Patriot Randy Fine is considering launching his Campaign for Congress in Florida’s 6th Congressional District!”
