Florida Rep. Randy Fine Calls Tucker Carlson a ‘Danger’ to Jews in House Floor Remarks

WASHINGTON (VINnews) – U.S. Rep. Randy Fine on Thursday sharply criticized media personality Tucker Carlson during remarks on the House floor, accusing him of spreading rhetoric that he said endangers the Jewish community.

Fine spoke while the House was considering a measure seeking to limit the war powers of Donald Trump related to potential military action involving Iran.

In his remarks, Fine said Carlson had made a series of statements targeting Jews and Jewish institutions. He pointed to claims Carlson allegedly made regarding Jewish identity and comments he said mischaracterized the work of Chabad-Lubavitch, the global Jewish outreach movement.

Fine said Carlson had falsely suggested that Chabad seeks the destruction of Muslim holy sites, a claim the congressman said could place Jewish communities at risk.

Fine also said Carlson’s rhetoric should be rejected by Republicans as well as Democrats, arguing that criticism of extremism must apply across the political spectrum.

“Tucker Carlson needs to be excommunicated from the Republican Party,” Fine said.

Carlson has not publicly responded to Fine’s remarks.
