US EditionCalls for GOP Rep. Randy Fine to quit for suggesting he would choose dogs over Muslims
Rep. Randy Fine’s post sparked bipartisan outrage and calls for censure, with over 30 House members supporting stricter disciplinary measures for similar conduct, lawmakers said.
- On Feb. 15, Rep. Randy Fine, Republican U.S. Representative from Florida, posted on social media platform X, `If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.`
- Fine shared a screenshot of a message from Nerdeen Kiswani, co-founder of Within Our Lifetime, who characterised dogs as unclean and later called her remark satire.
- The post went viral, drawing more than 40 million views, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez, D‑N.Y., called it `genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official`.
- Congressional Democrats are seeking formal discipline against Fine, urging censure and removal from committees, while the Council on American‑Islamic Relations called his resignation `long overdue` and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R‑La., has not commented.
- Advocates warn the episode highlights rising anti‑Muslim sentiment, as Fine's prior calls for mass deportations and a travel ban deepen the controversy amid dogs living in 87 million U.S. homes.
