'Hateful': Both parties slam House candidate Dan Bilzerian's antisemitic attacks
Elected officials from both sides of the aisle have taken to social media to denounce antisemitic postings from Florida congressional candidate Dan Bilzerian.
Dan Bilzerian, a Florida Republican primary candidate, has faced intense condemnation for his antisemitic attacks on Jewish Rep. Randy Fine. Politicians from both parties, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, denounced Bilzerian's vile rhetoric and campaign ads. Johnson described the attacks as disgusting and urged leaders on both sides to condemn them.
Jeffries called Bilzerian's campaign "blatantly antisemitic" and "shocks the conscience." Bilzerian, known for his provocative language, has ramped up his antisemitic rhetoric in recent weeks, using ads and verbal attacks against Fine. The U.S. Ambassador to Israel also criticized Bilzerian's rhetoric as possibly the most disgusting political thread he has seen.
Fine has a history of controversial comments, including comparing Muslims to dogs and calling Rep. Ilhan Omar a "Muslim terrorist." Despite the backlash, Bilzerian remains undeterred and continues to use such criticism to fuel his campaign.
