Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is being criticized by Florida\u2019s lone Jewish Republican in Congress as she works to unseat two fellow House Democrats.<\/p>\n
Tlaib is appearing at a rally in Fort Lauderdale Friday held by left-wing groups in support of three congressional candidates, according to a flier posted on Instagram, including two socialists running to unseat Reps. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that it\u2019s no coincidence that she\u2019s coming to target two of the remaining Jewish Democrats,\u201d Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt won\u2019t be well received in Florida,\u201d he continued. \u201cHow it\u2019s received in a Democratic primary \u2014 look, the Democrats are lost. But I\u2019m going to hope that Florida Democrats are smarter than national Democrats because the Jew hatred side of the Democratic Party is not good for America.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tlaib has been a power player on the far left so far this election cycle as candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) dominate establishment Democrats in key elections across the country.<\/p>\n

But DSA-linked candidates have also been accused of criticism against Israel that approaches antisemitism, according to the group\u2019s opponents, while being sympathetic to terror groups like Hamas.<\/p>\n
Tlaib, the first Palestinian American woman in Congress, has faced bipartisan criticism for her comments on Israel and Jewish people. The Michigan congresswoman has denied accusations of antisemitism.<\/p>\n
But Fine said Tlaib was a \u201cvocal supporter of Hamas\u201d and said the far left was making Jews in America feel unsafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the Democratic Party is lost, and I think it\u2019s dangerous. I don\u2019t know that it\u2019s lost and dangerous in Fort Lauderdale or Florida, but nationally, the kinds of people that the Democrats are nominating, these are people who do not love America,\u201d Fine said of the far-left surge.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey hate it. They are here to destroy it, and no one embodies that better than Rashida Tlaib.\u201d<\/p>\n
DSA-linked candidates have already toppled House Democrats in New York, Colorado and Michigan. Also in Michigan, socialist politician Abdul El-Sayed defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens for the party\u2019s nomination for Senate.<\/p>\n

Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz\u2019s campaigns did not respond to requests for comment on Tlaib\u2019s appearance. Tlaib\u2019s campaign did not respond to a request for comment on Fine\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n
Tlaib and other Democrats have previously accused Fine of anti-Muslim racism.<\/p>\n
Moskowitz, who represents Florida\u2019s 23rd Congressional District, is running for re-election in the 25th Congressional District, which was recently redrawn to give Republicans a better shot in the general race.<\/p>\n
Wasserman Schultz is running in the newly redrawn 20th Congressional District, a majority-Black district that leans heavily Democratic, sparking backlash for potentially impacting the area\u2019s historically Black representation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rep.
