John,
Right-wing Rep. Randy Fine is once again launching racist, Islamophobic attacks at Justice Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Last May, Fine got away with the baseless claim that Ilhan “endorses and supports Muslim terror” just because she’s a Muslim American who opposes war crimes against Palestinians. Now, he’s doubled down on these disgusting smears:
As Ilhan’s fellow Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley stated, this is dangerous, Islamophobic rhetoric aimed at a Congresswoman for cheap political points.
This kind of language threatens the safety of Ilhan and other Muslims across our country, including Fine’s own constituents, and it must not be tolerated.
Fine shouldn’t have the honor of serving in Congress, but we know he won’t be forced out. At the very least, he should be censured by his colleagues for the latest in his pattern of vile, racist attacks.
It’s time for this bigot to finally be held accountable.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
