Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Randy Fine is a disgrace to the United States Congress. He is an Islamophobic, disgusting and unrepentant bigot. 

It is unacceptable that Mike Johnson and House Republicans continue to remain silent. Their casual acceptance of hateful and divisive language enables this out-of-control behavior. Republican leaders must hold this so-called Member of Congress accountable. 

Political violence, xenophobia and hate crimes against the Muslim community are on the rise. House Democrats will not let the racist and bigoted behavior of Randy Fine go unchecked. Accountability is coming to all of these sick extremists when the gavels change hands in November, if not sooner.
