Vice President J.D. Vance's comments about Israel have sparked an ugly, public brawl of words among two of the Florida GOP's most controversial figures.
This comes after Vance lashed out at Israel for publicly opposing President Donald Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran to end the war that has been raging over the last three months.
“If I was in the Cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” Vance said, according to The Hill.
This infuriated Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), a far-right Jewish lawmaker who has repeatedly called for Israel to attack its neighbors and even commit war crimes.
“I thought JD’s comments yesterday were absolutely inappropriate and frankly disgusting,” said Fine, during an interview on Real America's Voice.
Fine's attack on Vance was soon countered by a furious retort on social media from Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini, a former member of the Florida legislature known for alienating his colleagues.
"Sweaty Randy Fine is a morbidly obese & very disgusting piece of [expletive] who should be deported ASAP," said Sabatini on X.
This comes shortly after Sabatini played with a congressional run under the new, more aggressively gerrymandered maps passed by the legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis, but decided against it as state law would have required him to resign from his county office first.
