Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) set the Internet on fire earlier this week with his comments toward a Muslim leftist who called for banning dogs as indoor pets.
Last week, a far-left Muslim activist in New York City named Nerdeen Kiswani angered Americans after targeting mankind’s most loyal friend in a shocking tweet.
“Finally, NYC is coming to Islam,” Kiswani wrote. “Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets.”
“Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”

For context, many Muslims consider dogs “impure” and Islamic legal tradition has, in various cases, pushed for barring human contact with the animals.
Kiswani later tried to claim that she was just joking, but the damage was already done.
Fine, who is Jewish, had a very spicy response to Kiswani’s nasty tweet on Sunday.
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” Fine wrote.
If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.

Fine’s response quickly set off an Internet firestorm, with several leftists, including AOC, calling him a religious bigot and demanding he be censured for his tweet.
We must call this what it is. Disgusting bigotry.
Fine must be censured. It’s about morality and decency, not politics. https://t.co/FZ3zWBAC1Q

Imagine what would happen if anyone in politics or media said, “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Jews is not a difficult one.” Now watch what happens to Randy Fine after saying it about Muslims. Absolutely nothing. Bigotry doesn’t matter, only antisemitism. https://t.co/CALJRBwBMH

Racist POS.
Mamdani has more American values in his pinky than this racist fascist has in his entire body. https://t.co/NCdCcT05HA

This is disgusting Islamphobia and dangerous bigotry from Rep. Fine. Speaker Johnson should strip him of all committees and assignments and he should be forced to resign.
I hope those that elected him are repulsed by his words and actions. https://t.co/hqNdf35map

If anyone said something this vile in any workplace, they’d be fired.
Randy Fine has repeatedly dehumanized Muslims without consequence. It’s unacceptable and should not be normalized by Congress.@SpeakerJohnson should reprimand him immediately. And if Fine cannot meet the… https://t.co/rBpL1XQNzk

This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official.
It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it. https://t.co/OPHd5jtM2b

Fine, though, refused to relent one inch and doubled down.

He also epically trolled AOC, noting her disastrous performance in Munich.
