GOP Rep's Islamophobic Post Sparks Widespread Backlash

Florida Rep. Randy Fine sparked outrage with a post saying, “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” in response to Palestinian American activist Nerdeen Kiswani. The remark drew swift condemnation from across the political spectrum—including AOC, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Jake Tapper, and Megyn Kelly—with calls for censure and stripping him of committee assignments, highlighting ongoing Islamophobic rhetoric in some GOP circles.
