Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) warned on Wednesday that Republicans were in a serious battle to stop "crazy people" from controlling the GOP — and the internet had plenty to say in response.

During a live interview with Newsmax, Fine commented on Democrats and said he was concerned about the Republican Party.

"When these people surfaced decades ago, they didn't take them seriously," Fine said. "They were so determined to gain power, they said we'll take anybody into our tent and now those people have taken over the tent. That's why we got to fight in my party, in the Republican Party, to not let crazy people take over. Because if we do, we're done. I think what we see happening to the Democratic Party, it may be good for Republicans but it is terrible for America."...

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) was mocked online Monday after he told Newsmax that the housing bill, which aims to increase home ownership and home supply for Americans, left him "spooked."

Fine was speaking to the conservative news outlet as the bill was expected to be on President Donald Trump's desk. It's unclear whether the president will sign the bipartisan bill, which he declined to sign last week, saying he would withhold his signature until Republicans passed his elections legislation, the SAVE America Act.

"My issue was if Elizabeth Warren thinks a bill is great, then it probably isn't," Fine said. "The enthusiasm Democrats had for this bill got me spooked. And I didn't come to Washington to work with Democrats. I came to Washington to beat them."...

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) claimed on Monday that people in California were dumpster diving for ballots after Republicans saw a serious setback in the Los Angeles mayor race and votes continued six days after the primary.

The MAGA lawmaker made the unfounded fraud remarks during a Newsmax interview, commenting on the ongoing ballot count in California and responding to the GOP's frustration as former reality TV star and GOP candidate Los Angeles mayor candidate Spencer Pratt slipped out of the runoff race, placing third behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman.

"Some people can just dig through garbage cans, find ballots and send them in apparently forever after an election is over. It's not OK, it's got to come to an end and people need to go jail," Fine said. ...

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) said he thinks progressive influencer Hasan Piker should be banned from the United States after the United Kingdom blocked his visit with fellow commentator and his uncle, Cenk Uygur, TMZ reported on Wednesday.

The MAGA lawmaker was walking on Capitol Hill when a TMZ reporter asked Fine to comment on Piker's entry to the country being revoked over the weekend. The two were scheduled to speak at the SXSW London Festival but were turned away "because of their criticism of Israel," The BBC reported.

"Well I don't think he should be allowed into America, so I think that's a good start," Fine said. ...

Social media influencer Dan Bilzerian shocked TMZ on Wednesday when he used a racial epithet in a conversation about his congressional opponent Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL).

Bilzerian has reportedly filed paperwork to challenge Fine in the Florida congressional race and made several comments during a live interview when he was challenged by TMZ executive producers Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere.

"You called your opponent 'this fat Jew,'" Levin said. "So he's not from Israel, but you called a guy in Florida 'this fat Jew.' How is that not antisemitic?"...

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), who’s currently under fire for his latest racist outburst, was apparently the “laughing stock” among students during his time at Harvard University, was accused of “bribing” students to win an election, and allegedly tried to deceptively award himself with a $24,000 grant, an ex-classmate of his told Zeteo in its report Wednesday.

That classmate is Adam Feldman, an editor and theater critic for Time Out Worldwide, and also a former student in government at Harvard along with Fine, who Feldman described as having been “tainted by scandal on multiple occasions,” and someone who “people just rolled their eyes at.”

“I was in Harvard's Undergraduate Council when Fine was there, and he was a laughing stock: not just a pompous prig, but also outrageously corrupt,” Feldman has previously said, providing new details of his knowledge of Fine to Zeteo in its report Wednesday....
