Extremist Florida Rep Files Bill To Ban Rainbow Flags

December 16, 2024 Extremists, Republicans

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

Republican firebrand Randy Fine has filed a bill in the Florida Senate to ban local governments, public schools and state universities from displaying flags promoting a “fictional” Palestine, “pro-violence” Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ rights and other “woke” topics.

Fine, who lives in Melbourne Beach, has resigned from the Florida Legislature effective March 31 to run for Congress, so he will be in office only for half of the 2025 session. He is running for the District 6 seat to replace U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, R-St. Augustine, who has accepted the post of national security advisor with the incoming Trump administration.

A key state senator said Fine is unlikely to get the bill, and other controversial measures he’s proposed in recent weeks, through the Legislature before he steps down, suggesting the proposal may be more about campaign talking points than realistic lawmaking.

Florida Politics reports:

“Supporters of Muslim terror, child mutilators, and groomers have no right to taxpayer sponsorship of their repugnant messages,” said Fine, the current front-runner in April’s Special Election in Florida’s 6th Congressional District.

“As I prepare to leave the Senate, I look forward to ensuring the only official place in a government building that you will find their flags is in a garbage can.” If the bill passes the Senate and House and is signed, it would take effect on July 1.

Fine appeared here last month, days after Trump endorsed his bid for the US House, when he threatened Muslim members of Congress, saying, “Bombs away, the Hebrew hammer is coming.”

He has appeared here many times for his vicious anti-LGBTQ actions and threats of violence.

From my previous posts….

Randy Fine, the sponsor of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, appeared here in October 2024 when he was held in contempt for flipping off a judge during a virtual hearing about an election lawsuit.

Before that he 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 to 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 April 2023 he declared, “Damn right, we ought to erase” LGBTQs.

In 2022, he arranged for a Florida town to honor a war criminal who was convicted of executing four Iraqi prisoners.

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.
