The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-FL) today repeated its call for the censure of state Rep. Randy Fine after he posted a tweet saying “Gaza must be destroyed.”
Florida State Rep. Randy Fine, who has a history of anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian statements, said “Gaza must be destroyed” in a tweet Thursday.
In a statement, CAIR-FL Communications Director Wilfredo Ruiz said:
“We urge the Florida House of Representatives to censure Mr. Fine for his appalling statement. Mr. Fine has, time and again, expressed hatred towards Palestinians and called for their outright extermination. Someone with such vile ideas should not be allowed to represent a diverse community and must be censured.”
He noted that CAIR has previously condemned Randy Fine’s anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian statements.
