Randy Fine Asked If He Feels 'Comfortable' Around Ilhan Omar
Rep. Randy Fine was asked by Fox Business host Stuart Varney if he was comfortable around Rep. Ilhan Omar.
- 10 minutes
You are one of three
Jewish Republicans in the House.
Are you comfortable working
alongside Ilhan Omar?
That's Republican Congressman Randy fine.
And we'll get to his answer in a second.
But first, there's more context.
In the wake of the shooting of two
Israeli embassy staffers, Randy fine
[00:00:19]
rushed to Fox News to offer this response.
Take a look, Congressman.
There is a cease fire deal on the table
right now that the white House is hoping
both Israel and Hamas will sign on to.
Does this shooting change anything
when it comes to the course of the war
[00:00:34]
or the negotiations to end it?
Well, I think it speaks to the importance
of the only end of the conflict is
complete and total surrender by those who
support Muslim terror in World War two.
We did not negotiate
a surrender with the Nazis.
We did not negotiate a surrender
with the Japanese.
[00:00:51]
We nuked the Japanese twice
in order to get unconditional surrender.
That needs to be the same here.
There is something deeply,
deeply Wrong with this culture
and it needs to be defeated.
Now, Jack, I want to bring you in here.
[00:01:06]
Before we get to Fine's response
on the question of whether he feels safe
working alongside Ilhan Omar.
What do you think he's going to say?
Oh, he's going to say something
absolutely despicable because he's
Randy fine, a genocidal maniac.
[00:01:22]
So now I'm going to do the thing
that I like to do,
which is shoe on the other foot.
Okay, so let's take out Muslim and put in
Jewish or Jew and see how this plays out.
First Stuart Varney.
Imagine that he's talking
to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
And he says now,
Congresswoman, Randy fine.
[00:01:40]
And and, by the way, throwing
other Randy finds a disgusting guy,
but throwing him perfectly innocent
Jewish Congressman Jamie Raskin.
Right?
Congresswoman, does it trouble you
to walk by a Jew like Jamie Raskin?
[00:01:56]
You'd be like, what in the world, right?
And he says it about Ilhan Omar,
and everybody's like,
oh, fine, not big news at all.
Nobody on cable news is covering it.
No congressional hearings, nothing.
Right?
Randi, fine, on the original comments
from yesterday that we covered,
that we just showed you parts of there.
He says, not Muslim fundamentalist terror,
[00:02:15]
not Muslim radical, not Islamist whatever
or whatever code words that he just drops
the code words and says, Muslim terror.
Okay.
As if all Muslims are responsible
for any acts of terrorism.
Okay.
Take out Muslim and put in Jewish or Jew.
[00:02:31]
Imagine if Ilhan Omar came on cable news
and said, well, you got to watch out for
the Jew terror and then went on to say,
there's something deeply,
deeply wrong with Jewish culture,
because that's exactly what he said
about Muslims, verbatim.
[00:02:48]
When you say about Muslims, no one cares.
There's no anti-islamophobia task force,
no universities getting raided.
Nobody's getting arrested.
It's just it's a cable news anchor
on television and a US congressman saying
[00:03:07]
the worst things on earth and not a peep.
But wait, don't worry,
as Jordan's about to show you.
Randy.
Fine. Can always take it to 11. Yeah.
Let's take a look at Randy Fine's
response to that question.
Congressman, you are one of three
Jewish Republicans in the House.
[00:03:23]
Are you comfortable working
alongside Ilhan Omar?
Well, look, I stay
as far away from her as I can.
Ilhan Omar is not pro-america and frankly,
she endorses and supports Muslim terror.
So I think that what happened
a couple of nights ago for her is probably
[00:03:39]
considered a good thing, not a bad one.
And it's very troubling
that the radical left created this.
Look, these protests are directly tied to
what we've heard on college campuses when
they talk about globalizing the intifada
resistance by all means necessary.
[00:03:55]
And that shows up in the manifesto
from this shooter.
That's where this stuff comes from.
And it comes from Ilhan Omar
College campuses and everywhere else.
Now, you may remember that both Ilhan Omar
and Rashida Tlaib have both been censured
[00:04:10]
by their House colleagues
for various comments that some
in Congress found to be inflammatory.
Rashida Tlaib, for instance,
was censured after saying from the river
to the sea, Palestine will be free,
an aspirational call for freedom.
[00:04:26]
Her critics said it
was a call for genocide.
Now Genk, between these attacks
that you're seeing here, and Randy finds
comments yesterday calling for Gaza
to be nuked, will Randy fine be censured?
[00:04:42]
Of course not. Of course not.
You could say the most bigoted racist
things about Muslims, Palestinians, etc.
And Congress will do absolutely nothing.
They might cheer you on.
They'll be like, oh wait, Randy, do you
need us to send a bigger check to Israel?
Because we can do that
because they haven't slaughtered
[00:04:58]
enough Muslims yet, right?
So and then look at all the lies
and terrible things he says
that Ilhan Omar endorsed.
What happened yesterday?
The shooting
of the two Israeli embassy staffers.
Of course, she did the exact opposite.
She condemned it strongly, as any decent
person would, of course, but he just goes
[00:05:16]
out and lies and smears her like that.
But by the way, Randi Fine, on
the other hand, has endorsed the slaughter
of 53,000 people in Gaza.
That's literal. Right?
He says, oh, she's endorsing terror.
And so is, by the way,
apparently all college campuses.
Okay, so if you're an American
on a college campus, Randy fine thinks
[00:05:34]
that you're supporting terrorism,
you better shut up.
Otherwise, you know, Randy fine is going
to make sure that if you criticize Israel,
you're going to be in a lot of trouble
and he's going to call you a terrorist.
Okay.
Now, meanwhile, he literally said
yesterday, let's nuke Gaza,
[00:05:53]
which would murder 2 million people,
which is, at a minimum, terrorism.
I mean, at a minimum, that would be
the the lightest thing I would call it.
Right. Total genocidal maniac.
And he's like,
you see what's wrong with the Muslims?
[00:06:09]
The Muslims love terrorism.
That's why I want to slaughter them all.
Okay, now I don't see it.
I see a monster, a pig and a fascist.
And if you're in his district
and you don't vote, that guy out is,
by the way, among all other things,
as he funnels all of your money to Israel.
[00:06:26]
Okay. All right.
Enjoy. Randy.
Fine. I mean, that's your representative.
Everybody in that district thinks,
boy, no one represents me better
than this monster.
Wow.
Okay, we'll see in the next election
if that holds.
All right. Jackson, what do you think?
[00:06:42]
Well, you know, to the point that,
you stated before about how you could
just switch out Muslims and put Jews.
The points he made by themselves
are just lazy, you know, like,
because we weren't just in Germany
just indiscriminately going after Germans.
It was Nazis in particular,
terrorist groups in particular.
[00:07:00]
And then, you know, nuking Japan
is one of America's dark,
one of the darkest things we've ever done.
It's one of the most,
you know, embarrassing,
unnecessary things we've ever done.
The war was already over
by the time that happened.
Russia had already invaded
and gotten in there like it was done.
[00:07:16]
It was not necessary.
And yet we still did it.
And he used it as as if,
like, see, we had to do it.
No we didn't.
So he it's as if he doesn't really have
any depth or substantive understanding
of the things that he's talking about.
Of course he doesn't.
[00:07:32]
And but as you pointed out, you know,
it's up to the people in his district
to vote him out or not.
But unfortunately, there's a big appetite
for stupid in this country
right now on all the sudden,
just people in politics in general.
There's just a whole lot
of stupid going on.
Otherwise the Democrats would not
have lost to Donald Trump twice.
[00:07:51]
Yeah.
You know, taking your shoe
on the other foot analysis here.
Jank. We do have an analogous situation.
There was a Jewish man in Florida who saw
two Israeli tourists in Miami shot at
[00:08:07]
them, thinking that they were Palestinian.
And did anybody rush out to say,
well, we have to nuke Israel?
Did anybody rush out and say,
like you were saying earlier,
I don't feel comfortable working
with Jewish colleagues in Congress?
[00:08:23]
No, of course not,
because that's ludicrous.
It's offensive. It's bigoted.
And for some reason, that's okay.
If they're Muslim, that's for some
reason it's okay if Palestinians
are on the receiving end of violence,
or if Muslims are
[00:08:40]
on the receiving end of discrimination.
And until there is a collective response
to quash this out, this type of behavior
isn't just going to fester.
It's going to be rewarded.
Because like you're saying, Jackson,
there are a lot of stupid, racist,
[00:08:55]
bigoted people in this country
and they are continuing to be fed.
They're throwing red meat on these biases
and it is rewarded politically.
So until people push back against
the bogus criticism on members of Congress
like Ilhan Omar, like Rashida Tlaib,
[00:09:12]
like the pro-Palestinian movement, until
they stop using college protesters as
scapegoats, none of this is going to stop.
Okay.
I'm going to say one
last quick thing here.
Ilhan Omar got censured
and even owned her own House Democrats,
[00:09:32]
threw her under the bus and condemned her
because she said about Benjamin Netanyahu
and his influence in America.
- It's all about the Benjamins.
- Oh, yeah.
Okay. That's literally his name.
And they're using lobbyist money,
which is about money.
[00:09:48]
Literally. Right.
That is apparently so outrageous,
morally outrageous that even her own party
condemned her strongly.
That's just about goddamn lobbyists.
We all agreed
that it's about the Benjamins.
I mean, it's absurd. It's insanity.
[00:10:05]
Right.
When you really think that you should
be censured for saying that lobbyists
influence politicians with money.
Really?
Nobody thinks that. Right.
This guy says we should
murder everyone in Gaza.
No censure, no talk of censure.
[00:10:21]
His own party.
His own party celebrates him.
The Democrats do absolutely
nothing against him.
Because the anti-Semitism task force.
Look, is there anti-Semites
in the country?
Definitely. Am I worried about it?
I'm a little worried about it. Yeah.
[00:10:36]
Okay.
But if we're worried about bigotry,
you think that there isn't more bigotry
against Muslims in America?
Well, you'd have to be insane
to think that.
Insane to think that.
And here it is. Perfect proof.
[00:10:52]
He says murder them all and no one cares.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
