"Randy Fine is a disgrace to the United States Congress. He is an Islamophobic, disgusting and unrepentant bigot. It is unacceptable that Mike Johnson and House Republicans continue to remain silent. Their casual acceptance of hateful and divisive language enables this out-of-control behavior. Republican leaders must hold this so-called Member of Congress accountable. Political violence, xenophobia and hate crimes against the Muslim community are on the rise."
"On Sunday, Fine responded to a tweet from Palestinian-American activist Nerdeen Kiswani in which she said dogs were unclean and should not be viewed as indoor pets. In his response, the congressman claimed, If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one. That remark was widely condemned by countless figures across the political spectrum. Fine didn't waiver and instead doubled down the next day on Newsmax."
Hakeem Jeffries condemned Randy Fine's Islamophobic remark, called Fine a disgrace to Congress and labeled him an Islamophobic, disgusting and unrepentant bigot. Jeffries criticized House Republican leaders, including Mike Johnson, for remaining silent and argued that their acceptance of hateful language enables out-of-control behavior. Jeffries warned that political violence, xenophobia and hate crimes against the Muslim community are increasing and pledged that House Democrats will hold Fine and other extremists accountable when Democrats regain control of the House after the midterms, saying accountability could come in November or sooner. The controversy stemmed from Fine's response to a tweet about dogs by Nerdeen Kiswani.
