House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is facing backlash from progressives after condemning Dan Bilzerian’s antisemitic attacks against Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) without mentioning his colleague’s history of inflammatory remarks about Muslims.
Bilzerian, who is challenging Fine in Tuesday’s GOP primary, released an artificially generated video attacking the lawmaker’s Jewish identity. The ad, particularly, portrays Fine as “Satanic” and repeatedly references him as a “fat Jew.” The ad led Democratic and Republican House leadership to condemn the antisemitic rhetoric targeting Fine.
