Republican decides to become the Donald Trump of Florida, faces avalanche of backlash demanding his resignation

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., had an idea of how he could best contribute to the never-ending culture war. He took to the Elon Musk–owned social media platform X to make a quip comparing Muslims to dogs — suggesting that he prefers dogs. The immediate feedback wasn’t what he expected, and now, as he explains what he actually meant through a series of follow-up posts, his followers are calling for him to resign.

It’s barely been a year since the GOP celebrated Donald Trump’s win in the general presidential elections. On various podcasts, news shows, and even in Congress, people called it the death of “woke,” and following numerous Trump troll posts, they went on to test just how much society could handle. Eventually, the dam broke, and it was notably Trump who again took things too far by posting a video of the Obamas as monkeys for the general users on Truth Social, whoever those people may be.
