GOP House Candidate Tells Muslim Congresswomen: ‘Consider Leaving Before I Get There’
Story by Sean Craig • 3h
A Republican running to fill a soon-to-be-vacant seat in the House of Representatives appeared to threaten the chamber’s only two Muslim women Tuesday, telling them they should “consider leaving before I get there.”
In a message to Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Florida state Sen. Randy Fine added the cryptic hashtag “#BombsAway.”
Fine is running to replace Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), who is set to step down in Florida’s 6th Congressional District to be President-elect Donald Trump’s national security adviser.
Trump has endorsed him in the race.
“The ‘Hebrew Hammer’ is coming,” Fine, who is Jewish, tweeted of his candidacy for the House, addressing the remarks at Tlaib and Omar, who he added, “might consider leaving before I get there. #BombsAway”
