Trump-Endorsed Candidate Faces Backlash for Threatening Muslim Congresswomen

Florida state senator Randy Fine's inflammatory remarks targeting Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar prompt calls for investigation and increased security measures.

Randy Fine, a Florida state senator and Trump-endorsed candidate for Congress, posted a threatening message on social media directed at Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, using the phrase '#BombsAway.'
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has called for a state and federal investigation into Fine's comments, describing him as an 'unhinged anti-Muslim bigot.'
Fine has a history of inflammatory rhetoric, including past statements calling for violence against Palestinians and using Islamophobic language.
The remarks have sparked demands for bipartisan condemnation, with particular pressure on President-elect Donald Trump to denounce Fine's comments.
Tlaib and Omar, the only two Muslim women in Congress, have been vocal critics of U.S. policies supporting Israel, drawing heightened scrutiny and threats amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
