A wave of Democrats are calling for Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) to be formally reprimanded or to resign over a social media post he made saying he would choose dogs over Muslims.

Fine posted on X on Sunday: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in a statement Tuesday called Fine “a disgrace to the United States Congress” and “an Islamophobic, disgusting bigot.”

Jeffries called on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Republicans to respond, slamming them for continuing “to remain silent.”

“Republican leaders must hold this so-called Member of Congress accountable,” Jeffries said. “Political violence, xenophobia and hate crimes against the Muslim community are on the rise. House Democrats will not let the racist and bigoted behavior of Randy Fine go unchecked. Accountability is coming to all of these sick extremists when the gavels change hands in November, if not sooner.”

blaa blaa blaa, the leftwing media echo chamber in action trying to create a narrative, pure astroturf.

Yawn. Double down. If I were Fine I would announce Islam should be outlawed just as Christianity is in Muslim s holes.

[Persevero]

Not a hill to die on, Democrats! Oh well let them continue to self destruct.

Sorry, slime-O-crats, put that to a vote and see by how much the dogs win. In fact, given a choice between dogs and DemocRATz, well..........

Not kidding.

At all.

Look who we’re not allowed to criticize.

In fact, Fine should say that mooselimbs shouldn’t be allowed on planet Earth at all.

Apparently progressive leftist commies haven’t thought about having to give up their fur babies that they have instead of human children. They think that they won’t have to choose between fur babies and middle eastern religious fanatics.

I think he was trying to say that pet dogs are cute, friendly, and affectionate toward people. Most people love their dogs, and some love dogs more than other than they love other people. Also many liberal women love cats, ask JD Vance LOL .

I agree with Mr Fine 100%.

“Hakeem” is the sound I make when expectorating sputum.

Uhhh...take a look at statements from Omar, Crockett, and other Leftists in Congress. Where’s their condemnation? All the Democrats with their panties in a knot need to look at what their colleagues are saying. Pot...kettle...black...

I don’t even like dogs but if the muzzies tried to outlaw them I’d be the first to get one.

I don’t care what they’re mad about. Randy Fine spoke truth to power.

I like my dog.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is of less value to these United States than any mangy, flea-infested stray mutt ...

[Jewbacca]

The headline is a lie.

The Democrats’ attempt will go nowhere.

Mutts over mullahs.

[libstripper]

He’s of less value than any of the snakes in my yard.

Should make him speaker of the House!
