ACTION ALERT: Urge Congress to Demand Rep. Randy Fine’s Resignation Over Repeated Islamophobic & Anti-Palestinian Statements
Florida Rep. Randy Fine recently sparked national outrage after a social media post suggesting he would choose dogs over Muslim people — the latest in a pattern of dehumanizing rhetoric targeting Muslims and Palestinians that has drawn bipartisan condemnation and calls for his resignation.
Over the past year, Fine’s public comments and posts have included attacks widely perceived as hostile toward Muslim communities and criticism of Palestinian civilians, prompting civic leaders and lawmakers to label his remarks Islamophobic and dangerous.
Rep. Fine’s conduct is incompatible with public service, normalizes hate, and undermines our true American values of dignity and justice.

Subject line: Condemn & Censure Rep. Randy Fine
Dear [elected official],
I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to publicly condemn Rep. Randy Fine’s repeated racist, anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian, and dehumanizing statements—and to support a comprehensive censure resolution that addresses the full scope of his record, not just a single incident.
Rep. Fine recently posted a bigoted message on X unfavorably comparing Muslims to dogs, which is still shamelessly posted on his page. This is not an isolated incident; it follows a years-long pattern of rhetoric that targets religious and racial minorities, normalizes violence, and further fuels Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism at a time when our communities are facing heightened threats.
According to publicly reported statements and posts over the past two years, Rep. Fine has:
Called for the destruction of “mainstream Muslims.”
Dehumanized Palestinians and suggested the Palestinian identity is “evil.”
Mocked Palestinian civilians awaiting humanitarian aid and glorified violence against them. - Threatened Muslim members of Congress, including comments widely understood as violent intimidation. - Promoted extreme, genocidal rhetoric, including advocating for catastrophic violence against Gaza and doubling down on racist tropes. This conduct is incompatible with the responsibility of serving in Congress. Censure is the minimum consequence, and any resolution should be comprehensive, so that Rep. Fine cannot deflect accountability by arguing over a single post while ignoring a broader record of hate. I urge you to take the following actions immediately: 1. Publicly condemn Rep. Fine’s anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian rhetoric and make clear that dehumanization and incitement have no place in Congress. 2. Support a comprehensive censure motion that addresses his full pattern of racism, Islamophobia, and violent rhetoric. 3. Call on House leadership to demand his resignation, including Speaker Mike Johnson, and to enforce standards that protect all communities and Members from targeted hate and threats. Please let me know the steps you plan to take and whether you will support a comprehensive censure resolution.
Sincerely,
Sincerely, [Your information here]
