State Representative Randy Fine was one of the first to endorse Governor Ron DeSantis’ Presidential campaign. When it became clear that DeSantis’ campaign would not be successful, Fine was the first in Florida to jump ship from team DeSantis, and jump on the bandwagon of team Trump. Addicted to headlines almost as much as he’s addicted to Facebook likes, Fine’s move made national headlines as he claimed, as usual with his opponents, DeSantis wasn’t vocal against anti-Semetism.
After paying top dollar for several high-profile events, and endless praise, Fine eventually landed an endorsement from former President Trump for his troubled bid for Florida Senate. It’s not common that you see a former President endorsing a local level election, but everything has a price, including an endorsement from Trump. Now Fine’s investment is at risk as his own words about January 6th have resurfaced after Trump called those arrested for their actions warriors, victims, and hostages at a rally in Nevada Sunday. Fine called them “dirtbags” and called for the death penalty for them back in 2021. According to a close friend, Fine is also upset over Trump’s remarks of calling them “hostages” while Fine is currently on another tax-payer funded trip to Israel where he says there are “real hostages” being held in Gaza, yet he refuses to criticize Trump publicly as he did DeSantis.
