Rep. Fine to 'Post': I will not endorse Vance in 2028, blaming Jews for GOP losses inexcusable

Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida said he will not endorse Vice President JD Vance in the 2028 primary, accusing him of betraying Trump and scapegoating Israel and American Jews for the GOP's midterm defeat. Fine also called Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed a 'Muslim terrorist' and blamed Vance for prolonging the Iran war.

Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida said in an exclusive interview with The Jerusalem Post that he will not endorse Vice President JD Vance in the 2028 Republican presidential primary. Fine accused Vance of betraying President Donald Trump and scapegoating Israel and American Jews for the Republican Party's midterm election defeat. He also blamed Vance for the failure of diplomatic efforts to end the war in Iran, calling a memorandum of understanding negotiated by Vance 'idiotic.' Fine described Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat, as a 'Muslim terrorist,' alleging ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, though the article notes no verified evidence supports this. Fine warned about the influence of the 'Tucker Carlson wing' of the Republican Party and said Israelis should be concerned about anti-Israel rhetoric gaining ground in American politics.
