GOP Lawmaker Calls Omar a Terrorist, Sparks Outrage | JQJO

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) labeled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) a "terrorist" on X, sparking outrage from top House Democrats. Fine's comment followed Omar's criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson. House Democratic leaders condemned Fine's statement as "unhinged, racist, and Islamophobic," demanding an apology. Fine, in response, called the Democrats the "Hamas Caucus," further escalating the situation. The incident comes weeks after political violence targeted elected officials in Minnesota.
