SCOOP: "I came to Washington to fight this evil, not make peace with it": Rep. Randy Fine not backing down after Democrats condemn him
Rep. Randy Fine (R., Fla.) has no interest in backing down to House Democrats, who are lambasting his “unhinged, racist, and Islamophobic” attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.).
Fine told the Washington Reporter that the Democrats’ hypocrisy in condemning him for referring to Omar as a “Muslim terrorist” is the bigger story at hand.
“Apparently Hakeem Jeffries has no issues with Ilhan Omar calling Bibi Netanyahu a war criminal but does when I call her out for doing it,” Fine said.
“Democrats like Jeffries want Americans to believe that supporting Islamic terror is a fringe ideology on the American left,” Fine added, shortly after he referred to Jeffries as the leader of the “Hamas Caucus.”
The reality, Fine said, “is that it is part of their party platform.”
“They can resort to ad hominem attacks all they want, but the reality is that the Democrat[ic] Party is waving the ‘Palestinian’ flag on American soil and supporting the invasion of the United States by Muslim terrorists every single day,” Fine said.
“I came to Washington to fight this evil, not make peace with it,” he added.
Fine, who was known as the “Hebrew Hammer” during his time in the Florida state legislature, was elected earlier this year to succeed former Rep. Mike Waltz (R., Fla.).
He has quickly emerged as an, at times, fiery defender of Israel and America in Congress.
