WASHINGTON \u2014 GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson and Dem Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have teamed up for a rare bipartisan rebuke of a Florida Republican pol who spewed vile antisemitic rhetoric against his primary foe.<\/p>\n

Wannabe House member Daniel Bilzerian rolled out a disturbing ad last week attacking fellow Republican and incumbent Rep Randy Fine as a \u201cfat Jew,\u201d \u201cShylock\u201d and \u201csatanic whore\u201d and suggesting whether it was worth revisiting Adolf Hitler\u2019s \u201copinions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vile attack ads against Congressman Randy Fine in Florida\u2019s 6th District are disgusting and should be condemned by all political leaders on the Right and Left,\u201d Johnson said in a statement late Sunday. \u201cAntisemitism and outward hatred of Jewish communities have no place in our politics or in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeffries echoed the speaker about an hour afterward, calling Bilzerian out by name.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hateful campaign being run by Daniel Bilzerian in Florida is blatantly antisemitic and shocks the conscience,\u201d Jeffries said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople of goodwill regardless of political affiliation must reject his vile attacks on the Jewish community. This cannot and will not stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bilzerian\u2019s ad was only the latest sickening salvo in both sides\u2019 scorched-earth attacks involving Israel and the Gaza war.<\/p>\n

Fine for his part has spouted egregious Islamophobic rhetoric and seemingly implied that the Gaza Strip, home to about 2 million Palestinians, should be nuked.<\/p>\n

Bilzerian\u2019s ad was filled with depictions of the Israeli flag, used artificial intelligence to add some physical girth to the Sunshine State Republican and showed him hugging a bag full of cash. It also called him a \u201cJewish supremacist\u201d and \u201cSatan\u2019s creepy little minion.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould we revisit that Austrian painter\u2019s opinions?\u201d a singer in the ad asked in footage of Hitler.<\/p>\n

The ad meanwhile boasted that Bilzerian doesn\u2019t take money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.<\/p>\n

On social media, Bilzerian has railed against \u201cthe Jewish problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Bilzerian dropped the sickening attack ad last week, his antics got the attention of the Jewish Insider outlet Sunday, and the spot was seemingly the impetus for Johnson and Jeffries to speak out.<\/p>\n

Fine, who succeeded US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz in the Florida district, called Bilzerian a \u201cNazi\u201d and vowed to \u201cdefeat this evil on Tuesday,\u201d when the pair face off in a primary.<\/p>\n

The rep is one of the most hardcore pro-Israel voices in either chamber of Congress, going so far as to say, \u201cThere is no such thing as Palestinian\u201d and spouting egregious Islamophobic rhetoric.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,\u201d Fine posted on X in February in comments he has repeatedly defended.<\/p>\n

At one point, Fine seemingly implied Gaza should be nuked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis,\u201d he told Fox News last year. \u201cWe did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Fine also has a history of implying or outright calling Muslim politicians terrorists.<\/p>\n

\u201cJihadi Mamdani does not belong as Mayor of NYC. He needs to be denaturalized and sent back home to Uganda,\u201d Fine posted on X on Sunday, referring to Mayor Zohran Mamdani.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell your fellow Muslim terrorists to release the hostages and surrender. Until then, #StarveAway,\u201d he said to \u201cSquad\u201d Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) last year on X.<\/p>\n

Bilzerian cited some of Fine\u2019s past hateful rhetoric in his disturbing attack ad.<\/p>\n
