DC, get ready for Randy Fine (FL): ‘Hardest right hook in the business’
Politico ^ | April 7 | By Kimberly Leonard

Posted on 04/07/2025 8:58:45 PM PDT by RandFan

Congress has seen plenty of firebrands and confrontational lawmakers — especially from Florida. But Washington still might be in for a shock when it comes to Randy Fine.

Over his nine years in the Florida Legislature, he gained a reputation for his bare-knuckle style of politics and spats with local officials. Now the former gambling executive will be going national with last week’s special election win in a deep-red district on Florida’s northeast coast.

Three years ago, Fine called a school-board member a “whore” in a text. During Covid, he got sanctioned by Facebook after he wrote a post alerting constituents to a school-board meeting on masking that included the school-board member’s phone number. A judge sent Fine to anger management after pictures surfaced that appeared to show him giving the middle finger during a virtual hearing. (He insisted he was scratching his forehead.)

Sounds like another clown who will make it all about him. Congress should be under a tent not a dome.

I used to live in Florida and there is something about this guy that I don’t trust. He seemed to make everything about him. It has been 5 years since I lived there so maybe the Florida folks can chime in with more recent experience.

Sounds to me, after reading the article, he is just what the GOP needs to disrupt their perpetual circle jerk...

I’m just wondering if he might some how be related to Larry Fine...

Maybe he’s related to Fran Fine on “The Nanny.”

Wonder if Tampon Tim could ‘kick his a$$’?
That dork Tim Walz needs someone to shut him up.

Reminds me of a scene from Road House.

STEVE: What if somebody calls my mama a whore?

DALTON: Is she?

Yeah, at first I was surprised that Politico was saying all these good things about him. Then I realized they probably thought it sounded bad.
