Firebrand GOP rep: Democrats side with Iran 'simply because they hate' Trump

MAGA firebrand Congressman Randy Fine, R-Fla., warned the U.S. must stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons as he cautioned America is losing the battle against radical Islam.

"I mean, this is someone whose community that she comes from engages in wholesale welfare fraud. Some of her relatives had been involved in that as well, and if she engaged in immigration fraud she should be denaturalized. She should be deported back to her home country of Somalia."

A request sent to Omar's office for reaction to Fine's accusations was not returned by time of publication.

Fine said that the battle against political correctness is directly tied to mainstream Islam.

"Well, I don't know that we're winning. I think we're losing. And you can see it in the unbelievable fear that people have about talking about mainstream Islam. I saw a video today about a mosque in Texas that [is] literally showing the erasing of a church and the building of a mosque. They are openly fundraising on the premise that they will eliminate Christianity in this country. 

"And people are absolutely petrified to speak the truth about it. That is a battle we are losing. And if we're not willing to tell the truth about mainstream Islam, we're done. You can see what has happened in the United Islamic Kingdom. That will happen to America if we are unwilling to deal with this problem," he said.

He continued, "And I think they're hoping that the American pressure, both military and economic, will cause the regime to either restructure or collapse. I certainly would like to see them stand up for themselves and overthrow the mainstream Muslim religious leaders that are in charge there."

Following the IRGC's recent call to the American electorate to oppose Donald Trump in the midterm elections, Fine said that the move has the potential to impact the ballot box.

"What's extraordinary about it is the same Democrats who called for an overthrow of the mainstream Muslim religious leaders who run Iran all of a sudden got upset when Donald Trump did something about it. And I personally believe the conflict would have been over a long time ago if it wasn't for Democrats supporting the enemy," he said.

"See, the mainstream Muslim religious leaders in Iran can see that Democrats aren't on board. And they say, 'hey, maybe we can wait out Donald Trump and the Republicans and get that nuclear weapon that we want to use in the United States.' So, I'm not surprised."

He added, "I think we need to make sure people understand that Muslim terrorists in Iran have endorsed the Democratic Party. That's who you're voting for. You're voting it for the people supported by Muslim terrorists if you vote Democrat."

Despite strong support for Trump's military engagement in Iran, Fine does not believe that regime overthrow is an imperative.

"I don't think it should be an explicit goal of American foreign policy. I think it probably happens as a result. But I'm an America First guy. And if crazy people want to run Iran, that's not America's problem unless they threaten America. And that's what they have done."

He said, "For 47 years, the mainstream Muslim religious leaders who've run Iran have said 'death to America.' They've killed thousands of Americans. They're trying to build missiles that can reach America. They're trying to build a nuclear weapon that can reach America, so stopping that is in our interest."

However, given the prospect of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, Fine's answer modulates.

"I mean, the answer is they can't have a nuclear weapon. And by the way, we had explicit intelligence that they were getting close. And so we did something about it. And I absolutely support that."

Fine said,"The most important thing about the Iran conflict that I tell people, is Iran was spending tons of money to build a missile that could go thousands and thousands and thousands of miles. They already had missiles that could make it to Israel. They had all the missiles they wanted that could hit Israel, as we've seen. They had missiles that could hit Europe, as we've also seen."

He concluded,"You know where they didn't have a missile that could hit? The United States of America, which is why they were focused on building a long-range missile, so they could threaten the east coast of the United States. That's simply something we can never, ever allow to happen, and that's why I've supported the president in this."
