Cultist House Candidate Calls Man “Terrorist” For Wearing Arab Shoulder Scarf To FL Public Hearing

The Florida Phoenix reports:

A hotly contested proposal that would prohibit the use of preferred pronouns in state and local government workplaces, and limit gender identity training for state and local government employees, won approval in its first committee stop on Tuesday. Labeled the “Freedom of Conscience in the Workplace Act” (SB 440), the measure says that an employee in a public workplace may not be required to refer to another person using that person’s preferred pronouns.

Dozens of speakers signed up to denounce the proposal, which compelled committee chair Sen. Randy Fine to limit public comments to just 30 seconds. The audience reacted derisively after Sen. Fine cracked, “Enjoy your terrorist rag,” after a speaker wearing a keffiyeh over his shoulder left the dais. As members of the audience jeered him, Fine was defiant, saying, “I’m the chairman, I can say what I want. If you don’t like it, you can leave.”

Fine has Trump’s endorsement in next month’s special election to replace former US Rep. Mike Waltz.

Fine appeared here in November when he threatened Muslim members of Congress, tweeting, “the Hebrew Hammer is coming, bombs away.”

As I have recounted here many times, Fine is the most foul and most anti-LGBTQ member of the Florida legislature – and that is saying something.

Perhaps most notably, last year Fine drew outrage when he tweeted what many took as a death threat against President Biden.

His Democratic challenger, whom Fine has attacked for being Muslim, has raised $10 million while Fine has raised less than $1 million, but Fine, who has vowed to outdo Marjorie Taylor Greene’s assholery when he reaches the US House, is still expected to win easily.

On a more positive note, in a separate action Fine yesterday lost his attempt to allow guns on college campuses, much to the glee of openly gay state Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, as you can see in the second clip below.
