Jewish Republican Randy Fine Draws Sharp Criticism After Suggesting He Prefers Dogs to Muslims
18th February 2026
Since assuming office last year, Florida Jewish Rep. Randy Fine has ignited pushback on a regular basis over his comments about Muslims and Palestinians.
This week anger over a new tweet from the GOP Congressman spilled over even further, igniting a wide rebuke from Jews and pro-Israel figures on the other side of the aisle — some of whom are now calling for Fine’s censure or resignation.
The blowback followed Fine’s tweet on Sunday in which he stated, “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”
Of course, if the headline had reas “Muslim Democrat X Draws Sharp Criticism After Suggesting He Prefers Dogs to Christians”, (a) nobody would believe it because nobody ‘respectable’ would criticize it, and (b) nobody would believe it because it wouldn’t be news. Muslims say that sort of shit all the time and nobody blinks because it’s so common.
