Republican congressman's anti-Muslim remark prompts calls for his resignation
"If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,"
"leaders of Congress across the political spectrum should demand his resignation, which is long overdue."
"disgusting Islamophobia and dangerous bigotry," adding that "he should be forced to resign"
"Kristi Noem literally bragged about shooting her own dog and most of you did not bat an eyelash. A Muslim in NYC says maybe the city is not the best place for pets and it is days"
Rep. Randy Fine posted that he would choose dogs over Muslims and shared a screenshot of Nerdeen Kiswani calling dogs "unclean" and saying "NYC is coming to Islam." Fine connected Kiswani to support for Zohran Mamdani. The post generated widespread criticism and demands for his resignation. The Council on American-Islamic Relations reiterated prior condemnations and called for congressional leaders to demand his ouster. Democratic lawmakers called the post Islamophobic and urged removal of committee assignments and reprimand. California Gov. Gavin Newsom told Fine to resign. Kiswani responded by referencing Kristi Noem’s comments about killing a dog.
