GOP Rep. Randy Fine calls Jewish Facebook commenter a 'Judenrat' Nazi collaborator

[TexasTowelie]

Republican state Rep. Randy Fine twice called a Jewish Facebook commenter a “Judenrat,” a term used to describe Jewish Nazi collaborators for his supporting an event to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian situation.

Fine, R-Palm Bay, who is Jewish, has been embroiled in controversy before for his social media comments, which include calling commenters who criticized Israel “Nazi” or “anti-Semitic” in 2017.

The comments came the same week that Fine called state Senate Democratic Leader Audrey Gibson’s no vote on his bill to require public schools to treat anti-Semitism the same as racism, “unconscionable.” Gibson called the bill “an intentional piece of legislation to divide.”

This year, Fine also suggested a “five- and 10-year potential shutdown” of UCF because of controversy over construction spending, later saying the statement included “an element of hyperbole.”

2. Good fucking grief

He is a piece of work.

The bill by Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Palm Bay was approved Thursday on a 114-0 vote. It would mandate that discrimination against Jewish people be treated the same as acts of racial discrimination in public schools.
Fine says the measure is necessary because discriminatory behavior against Jews is rising across the U.S.

Fine says the bill is not about supporting Israel.

The first chance he gets he uses an anti-Semitic slur because someone doesn't agree with him.
