Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) doubled down on calling U.S. politicians like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani “terrorists,” and said nonviolent actors who support Hamas and refuse to condemn their actions are “just as bad.”
Fine, who is one of only four Jewish House Republicans, defended his brazen rhetoric in an interview with Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow at the 2026 Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) National Leadership Summit on Sunday. Marlow asked: “Do you find when you call people who are not necessarily violent people terrorists and things like that, as you’ve done, do you feel like that is similar to the way people like me — like my whole life I was called a Nazi even though we’re a pro-Israel website, just because I have conservative viewpoints? Where does that differ?”
“Fantastic question. The people who run Hamas, they sit in Qatar or Turkey. They’re not blowing themselves up. They’re not killing anyone. Are they terrorists? Absolutely, they are. So you don’t have to be with the gun in your hand to be the terrorist. The people who support, rhetorically, the person sitting in Qatar and Turkey who runs Hamas — they’re just as bad. And so I think if you support, verbally, terrorism, it makes you a terrorist,” Fine explained.
