I’m writing to demand that the House immediately initiate censure proceedings against Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) for his repeated, dangerous pattern of anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian, and anti-American hate speech. Most recently, Fine posted on X "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one." This is part of a much larger, deeply disturbing pattern: • Dec 2, 2023: He mocked humanitarian aid to Gaza: “Stop the trucks. Let them eat rockets. There are plenty of those. #BombsAway.” • Sep 6, 2024: He celebrated the killing of Turkish-American protester Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by calling her a “#MuslimTerrorist” and writing, “Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerrorist. #FireAway.” • Nov 26, 2024: Fine threatened Reps. Tlaib and Omar: “The ‘Hebrew Hammer’ is coming. @RashidaTlaib and @IlhanMN might consider leaving before I get there. #BombsAway.” • Feb 20, 2025: He declared, “Gaza must be destroyed,” effectively calling for the annihilation of over 2 million civilians. • As a Florida legislator, Fine abused anti-protest and anti-boycott laws to threaten activists and chill free speech. Fine’s statements go far beyond political discourse. They promote violence, normalize collective punishment, and actively endanger fellow lawmakers and constituents. His rhetoric is a threat to public safety and democratic values. I urge you to publicly condemn his behavior and support formal censure proceedings. The House must not allow hate speech and incitement to fester in its ranks.
