Anti-Semitism of the "right" on the rise according to Randy Fine.
MAGA Lawmaker Calls Tucker Carlson ‘The Most Dangerous Antisemite In America’

MAGA Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) had harsh words for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson while discussing anti-Semitism in the GOP before an audience with the American Jewish Coalition on Saturday.
Carlson recently hosted white nationalist Nick Fuentes on his podcast, drawing rebukes from Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
“It is easy to talk about anti-Semitism on the left,” Fine said. “I want to talk about the dark force rising on our side. Multiple speakers have talked about the rise of anti-Semitism on the right, but it is not enough to speak in platitudes or generalities about the fight. We must call evil by its name.”
As Fine spoke, dozens of people stood in front of him waving red signs that read, “Tucker Is Not MAGA.”
Fine continued:
Five years ago, if I was talking to my father…at 8:59 p.m. at night, he would say “Randy, I’ve got to go, Tucker Carlson is going to be on.” But make no mistake. Today, Tucker Carlson is the most dangerous anti-Semite in America. He has chosen to take on the mantle of leader of a modern-day Hitler youth, to broadcast and feature those who celebrate the Nazis, those who call for the extermination of Israel, to defend Hamas, to even criticize President Trump for stopping Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Friends, make no mistake. Tucker is not MAGA.
Tucker’s fall from grace has been one of the most extraordinary implosions in political history, and the rapidity of it has created real challenges for us all. Because our friends don’t have our shared experience. I even deal with this with my colleagues in the House. See, they remember the Tucker of five years ago. They don’t live with anti-Semitism every day, they don’t think about it the way that we do. And it is jarring for them to try to understand how did this person become who he is today?
But the challenge is, he’s inspired a movement of hate in our midst, and I’m not done calling people out. I have the distinct displeasure of serving with two overt anti-Semites…Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Some days, I marvel at their stupidity. Other days, at their evil. It makes my stomach crawl that i have to sit in the same room with them.
Fine — an unabashed supporter of President Donald Trump — also called out the Heritage Foundation, whose president Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson in a video statement, saying that he would “always be a close friend” to the organization.
“I was supposed to do an event with Heritage next week, I think on Wednesday,” Fine said. They don’t know what I’m about to tell you: right now, we are canceling it. They will have no future in my office, and I will be calling on all of my colleagues on the Republican side to do the same.”
