TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Rep. Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, scathed President Joe Biden and his supporters as antisemitic in light of the president’s latest comments threatening to withdraw U.S. aid of Israel because of the country’s military actions against Hamas.
“[Biden] made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps,” the White House said, per Reuters.
“Joe Biden is an antisemite,” Fine said on Thursday. “If you support him, you are one too.”
Fine said that Biden is betraying Israel with the latest comments, which came after controversy sparked with the deaths of aid workers in Gaza as a result of the IDF’s actions.
“It is a complete betrayal to see Joe Biden so outraged about the accidental deaths of aid workers who chose to work in a war zone but show zero anger about Americans who were intentionally taken hostage and are being tortured every day by Muslim terrorists,” Fine said Friday. “He is repulsive.”
Biden was initially supportive of Israel, but as time went on and the IDF gained criticism surrounding its attempts to combat Hamas – which typically uses civilians as shields – the president’s tone has shifted, recently demanding an “immediate ceasefire.”
The White House wants Israel to reach a “deal” with Hamas promptly.
Fine is running for the Florida Senate in District 19. He recently garnered the backing of former President Donald Trump – whom Fine has also endorsed in the 2024 election.
“Florida State Rep. Randy Fine is a MAGA Warrior who will stand up to anyone to advance the America First agenda!” Trump said Thursday night. “One of our only elected Jewish Republicans, he stands with me for an America that brings Peace through Strength, and an Economy that works for our Nation’s families.”
