兰迪·法因共和党对手声称犹太人掌控美国财政

议员们就政治竞选活动中日益加剧的反犹太威胁展开讨论
佛罗里达州共和党众议员拜伦·唐纳兹与新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默就渗透2026年政治竞选活动的反犹太主义抬头问题发表讲话。
佛罗里达州一场共和党初选因反犹太主义指控引发激烈争议，一名极右翼候选人公然宣扬反犹太刻板印象并提及阿道夫·希特勒。
佛罗里达州国会代表团中唯一的犹太共和党议员、众议员兰迪·法因，在该州第六国会选区共和党初选中遭到一名胜算渺茫的对手以宗教为由 targeted。法因周二在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，就丹·比尔泽里安的竞选活动表示：“这是一名公开的纳粹分子，他从拉斯维加斯辗转来到佛罗里达，只为针对我。这不是一场自发的竞选活动，而是一场有组织的反犹大屠杀，是一场政治层面的大屠杀。”

此次事件正值佛罗里达州各地选民参与初选，为11月中期选举的民主党与共和党关键对决做准备。
法因在争取首个完整众议院任期的过程中吸引了多名共和党挑战者，但无人能像比尔泽里安那样引发强烈反弹。
“第六选区清楚犹太人的问题，”他在X平台上一张似乎是竞选集会的帖子下如此配文。
上周，他在X平台发布了一段疑似人工智能生成的视频，视频中以正面口吻提及希特勒，同时将法因的头像加上了牛角——这一反犹太刻板印象曾被纳粹德国用于煽动对犹太人的仇恨，臭名昭著。
民主党候选人的犹太复国主义阉割言论引发轩然大波，民主党领导层重写叙事以抨击共和党
新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默周二在回应福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示：“丹·比尔泽里安正以纳粹纲领竞选国会。这并非夸张之词。他自己的竞选广告歌颂希特勒，给犹太人画上牛角，还将一名现任犹太国会议员称为需要解决的问题。这简直荒谬、令人作呕，是教科书式的、最直白的反犹太主义。”

“我在很多问题上都不认同兰迪·法因，但这恰恰说明问题所在。当有人以仇视犹太人为纲领竞选美国国会议员时，无论对方是谁，我们每一个人，无论民主党还是共和党，都有责任公开表明立场，”戈特海默说道。
法因在谈及比尔泽里安的竞选活动时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“老实说，我做梦都没想到，这周会先是有人在我的一块竞选 yard sign 上涂纳粹卐字徽，接着又在一名共和党国会候选人的视频里看到我的头像被加上了牛角。”
他还表示：“他们据我们所知已经花费了600万到700万美元。我认为当一切尘埃落定后，有一个更重大的事件值得深挖：外国直接投资对政治竞选活动的影响。他们在这场竞选中投入了数百万美元的未申报资金。”
前伯尼·桑德斯官员指责参议员推动“一代人以来最反犹的候选人”
截至目前，没有证据表明外国投资者为比尔泽里安的竞选活动提供了资金。
但此次反犹太主义事件的严重程度已招致众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（路易斯安那州共和党）与众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（纽约州民主党）的谴责。
“佛罗里达州第六选区针对众议员兰迪·法因的恶毒攻击广告令人作呕，理应受到左右两派所有政治领导人的谴责，”约翰逊在一份声明中说道。

杰弗里斯表示：“丹尼尔·比尔泽里安在佛罗里达州开展的仇恨竞选活动公然反犹，令人发指。无论政治派别如何，心怀善意的人们都必须拒绝他对犹太社区的恶毒攻击。”
戈特海默与一群犹太众议院民主党议员一同表态，尽管他们并不认同法因的立场，但比尔泽里安的“令人毛骨悚然”的视频“在美国没有容身之地”。

人们普遍预计法因将在周二的初选中获胜，并有望在11月的选举中保住席位。

Antisemitism fight explodes in Florida as voters head to the polls: ‘Political pogrom’
August 18, 2026 11:21am EDT / Fox News
Rep Randy Fine’s GOP opponent claimed Jews had financial control of the US

Lawmakers discuss rising antisemitic threats in political campaigns
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., address the rise of antisemitism permeating 2026 political campaigns.
A Republican primary race in Florida has exploded over accusations of antisemitism as one far-right candidate espouses openly anti-Jewish tropes and references to Adolf Hitler.
Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., the lone Jewish Republican in Florida’s congressional delegation, is being targeted for his religion by a long-shot rival challenging him in the GOP primary for the Sunshine State’s 6th Congressional District.
“This is an open Nazi who transported himself from Las Vegas to Florida in order to target me. This isn’t an organic campaign. It’s an organized pogrom against the Jews. It’s a political pogrom,” Fine told Fox News Digital of Dan Bilzerian’s campaign on Tuesday.

It comes as voters across Florida vote in primary elections that will set up key matchups between Democrats and Republicans ahead of the November midterms.
Fine has attracted multiple GOP challengers in his fight for his first full term in the House, but none have generated backlash like Bilzerian.
“District 6 understands the Jewish problem,” he captioned one post on X that appeared to show a campaign gathering.
Last week, he posted what appeared to be an AI-generated video to X that alluded to Hitler in a positive manner while depicting Fine with horns growing out of his head, another antisemitic trope that was infamously used in Nazi Germany to spur hatred of Jews.

Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., told Fox News Digital in response on Tuesday, “Dan Bilzerian is running for Congress on a Nazi platform. That’s not hyperbole. His own campaign ad celebrates Hitler, draws horns on Jews, and calls a sitting Jewish Member of Congress a problem to be solved. That’s absolutely insane, disgusting, and the clearest, textbook version of antisemitism.”

“I don’t agree with Randy Fine on much, but that’s exactly the point. When someone runs for the United States Congress on Jew-hatred, every one of us, Democrat and Republican, has an obligation to say so out loud, no matter who’s on the other end of it,” Gottheimer said.
Fine told Fox News Digital of Bilzerian’s campaign, “I’ll be honest, never in my wildest nightmares did I think I would start the week with a swastika painted on one of my yard signs and end the week with a video from a Republican congressional candidate with horns coming out of my head.”
He also said, “They’ve spent, we believe, $6 or $7 million. And I think there’s a much bigger story that needs to be explored when this is all over about the influence of direct foreign investments in political campaigns. They’ve spent millions of dollars in the race of unreported money.”

There is no evidence as of now that foreign investors funded Bilzerian’s campaign.
But the degree of antisemitism has drawn condemnation from both House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
“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,” Johnson said in a statement.

Jeffries said, “The hateful campaign being run by Daniel Bilzerian in Florida is blatantly antisemitic and shocks the conscience. People of goodwill, regardless of political affiliation, must reject his vile attacks on the Jewish community.”
Gottheimer was also part of a group of Jewish House Democrats who said that while they do not agree with Fine’s positions, Bilzerian’s “grotesque” video “has no place in America.”

Fine is widely expected to win his primary on Tuesday and is favored to win his seat in November.
