Florida — A campaign video released by Dan Bilzerian, who is running in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, has ignited outrage for its antisemitic content and pro‑Hitler references. The video, viewed over 1.4 million times, includes an AI‑generated song that labels Jews as “Satan’s creepy little minions” and depicts Congressman Randy Fine, who is Jewish, with horns and a bag of cash.
The video also suggests revisiting the “opinions of an Austrian painter,” a euphemism for Adolf Hitler, and accuses Fine of “wanting constituents to die for Israel” while referring to them as “goyim cattle.” Bilzerian has previously called Fine a “fat disgusting Jew” and claimed that “Jews are the problem.”
Reactions
- The American Jewish Committee (AJC) denounced the video as “Nazi propaganda” and urged both parties to reject such rhetoric.
- Sen. Ted Cruz (R‑TX) condemned Bilzerian, saying: “This brazen Nazi revels in Jew hate. This evil has no place in the Republican Party.”
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D‑NY) called the campaign “blatantly antisemitic and shocking to the conscience.”
Broader Context
The controversy underscores growing concerns about antisemitism in U.S. politics, particularly in Florida, where Jewish voters play a significant role. Analysts warn that Bilzerian’s campaign reflects a dangerous normalization of extremist rhetoric in electoral politics.
