The progressive outrage machine is in full meltdown mode after Florida Republican Rep. Randy Fine dared to post something on social media that sent the left into their familiar pearl-clutching hysteria. Fine's Sunday evening post on X stating "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one" has triggered a coordinated attack from the usual suspects.
Leading the charge? None other than California's failing governor Gavin Newsom, socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and – surprise, surprise – the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Because nothing says "organic grassroots outrage" like having a terror-connected organization lead your virtue signaling campaign.
But let's talk about what's really happening here, folks. We're witnessing yet another example of the left's selective outrage and their weaponization of identity politics to silence conservatives who dare speak uncomfortable truths.
"If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one."
Fine's comment comes amid ongoing cultural tensions where Americans are increasingly forced to navigate the minefield of progressive orthodoxy. How did we reach a point where expressing affection for man's best friend becomes a thought crime?
The Real Question Patriots Should Ask
While the leftist mob demands Fine's head on a platter, Americans should be asking themselves: Why does the same crowd that screams about "Islamophobia" remain silent about actual religious persecution around the world? Where's their outrage over Christians being slaughtered in Nigeria or Jews being attacked on college campuses?
This manufactured controversy reveals everything wrong with our current political discourse. The progressive left has created an environment where any statement that doesn't conform to their rigid ideology gets you labeled a bigot and targeted for destruction.
Rep. Fine represents Florida patriots who are tired of walking on eggshells while radical activists dictate what Americans can and cannot say. The question remains: Will Republicans continue to back down every time the outrage mob comes knocking, or will they finally stand firm?
