A rare bipartisan consensus emerged in Washington as United States Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries forcefully reprimanded Dan Bilzerian, a Florida primary contender, for launching anti-Jewish attacks, the New York Post reported. 

The publication documented that congressional hopeful Daniel Bilzerian released a commercial attacking incumbent Republican Representative Randy Fine, describing him as a "fat Jew," "Shylock," and "satanic wh*re" while raising questions regarding Adolf Hitler's "opinions."

Meme candidate Dan Bilzerian posts an obscenity-laden anti-Jewish ad with a digital burlesque woman singing a song. The ad includes numerous tropes and lyrics:

- Calling Fine a fat Jew
- Saying Fine believes kids should die because he believes the "goyim" are "cattle"
- Accuses…

"The vile attack ads against Congressman Randy Fine in Florida's 6th District are disgusting and should be condemned by all political leaders on the Right and Left," House Speaker Mike Johnson stated late Sunday, the report noted. "Antisemitism and outward hatred of Jewish communities have no place in our politics or in America."

Shortly thereafter, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries delivered an equivalent reprimand explicitly addressing the challenger. "The hateful campaign being run by Daniel Bilzerian in Florida is blatantly antisemitic and shocks the conscience." Jeffries observed, "People of goodwill, regardless of political affiliation, must reject his vile attacks on the Jewish community. This cannot and will not stand," he added.

According to the report, the ad incorporated imagery of the Israeli flag, artificial intelligence alterations to Representative Randy Fine's appearance, and visuals of cash, while labeling the legislator a "Jewish supremacist" and "Satan's creepy little minion." A singer asked in the ad, "Should we revisit that Austrian painter's opinions?" alongside footage of Hitler.

The advertisement also highlighted that Daniel Bilzerian refuses contributions from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). In online posts, Bilzerian has repeatedly made references to "the Jewish problem."

Representative Randy Fine – who assumed office following United States Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz – denounced his rival as a "Nazi" and pledged to "defeat this evil on Tuesday" during primary balloting.

Fine is an ardent pro-Israel advocate, previously stating, "There is no such thing as Palestinian," alongside contentious public remarks Bilzerian included in his ad.
