A Jewish GOP congressman sparked a meltdown from Congressional Democrats after posting a savage statement regarding anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) comment about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Omar on Tuesday threw a fit on X over Netanyahu’s most recent visit to D.C., calling him a “war criminal” and demanding he be prosecuted.
This is Benjamin Netanyahu’s third visit to DC this year.
War criminals should not be welcomed by any president or Congress.
He should be held accountable for his crimes, not platformed. Beyond shameful.

Upon seeing this tweet, Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) unleashed a devastating response.
“I’m sure it is difficult to see us welcome the killer of so many of your fellow Muslim terrorists,” he wrote. “The only shame is you serve in Congress.”

Following Fine’s clapback, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-NY), and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-CA) released a joint statement calling his comments “unhinged, racist, and Islamophobic” while implying he was inciting violence.

Other Democrats echoed their leadership’s whining, with some like Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) going even further by painting Fine as the quintessential ‘ugly Republican.’
Randy Fine is a vile racist whose presence in Congress is an insult to every decent American.
When you think of Republicans, remember Randy Fine eats at their table.
I will pray for this ugly hatred to leave his soul. pic.twitter.com/knei4vU85O

Randy Fine’s vile, racist attack on Rep. Omar is beneath the dignity of the House. His remarks are an affront to the fundamental values of the American Jewish community, and do not reflect the basic standards of decency expected of any elected official.
This kind of bigotry is a… https://t.co/MHluXSRDZ7

Islamophobia has no place in our country. Rep. Randy Fine’s comments are vile, racist, and beneath an elected official who serves in the people’s house. This kind of bigotry should not be tolerated. pic.twitter.com/CfkU2G6wJK

Rep. Omar is a brave & principled public servant who fights every day for peace, justice, & the American people.
Rep. Fine is a shameless bigot using Islamophobic hate speech to score points just weeks after a political assassination.
This rhetoric is dangerous & disgraceful. https://t.co/yebDOzZ2IR

But if one was expecting an apology from Fine, they were sorely mistaken. He doubled down with an incredibly spicy response.
“The Hamas Caucus is upset, he wrote. “Boo hoo.”
“I guess they weren’t listening when I said the Hebrew Hammer was coming.”
