The Meidas Touch reports:
Florida State Representative Randy Fine was held in civil contempt of court today for wearing inappropriate attire and making obscene gestures during a court hearing.
Fine appeared for a court appearance in a campaign t-shirt and appeared to have displayed his middle finger directed towards either the judge or the opposing party, both of whom he has had a contentious relationship with.
Fine was the co-sponsor of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill (Parental Rights in Education Act) which he proudly touted as a signature achievement. He also strongly supported Ron Desantis in his feud against Disney. He recently won his primary for State Senate with 73% of the vote with Donald Trump’s endorsement.
Read the full article. Fine was in court due to a lawsuit involving a Brevard County election official. As I’ve said here before, he is probably the most obnoxious of all Florida lawmakers, which is really saying something.
He last appeared here when DeSantis vetoed funding for a “woke zoo” because it wouldn’t host a fundraiser for Fine.
Fine also appeared on JMG in May 2022 when he tweeted what many interpreted as a threat to assassinate President Biden. That tweet remains online.
Before that, Fine appeared on JMG when he called for felony charges after Florida Democrats staged a sit-in over the racist US House map submitted by DeSantis.
And before that, he appeared here when he threatened to defund a Florida Special Olympics event and called a local school board member a “whore” because she’d been invited its fundraiser gala and he was not.
Fine was a sponsor of the bill that stripped Disney’s self-governing status. His family owns annual passes to the “woke” theme park giant.
In 2022, he arranged for a Florida town to honor a war criminal who was convicted of executing four Iraqi prisoners. In April 2023 he declared, “Damn right, we ought to erase” LGBTQs.
Fine is also a sponsor of Florida’s bill criminalizing drag shows in view of minors. Of note, his wife runs a self-described “sultry” burlesque show that would violate her husband’s law.
The Trump-endorsed sponsor of FL’s “Don’t Say Gay” law was held in contempt of court today for making an obscene gesture and engaging in other obscene conduct during a court hearing. https://t.co/vJB3wZMCxQ
