Amid the barking of his critics, Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Florida has given them something to really howl about.

Fine entered asocial media hornets’ neststirred up by an acolyte of far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who posted a snarky message on X that said “NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”

The comment was made by Mamdani supporter Nerdeen Kiswani, asThe New York Timesreported, in the context of late January’s snowstorm in the city and dog feces in snow drifts.

Kiswani later tried to claim her post was meant to be humorous — “mild, satirical” as she put it, according to The New York Times.

Fine, never shy about his opinions, then amplified the fuss by writing, “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

The comment led to more abuse hurled at Fine and called for him to be muzzled.

On Thursday, Fine made it clear no one would make him leash his opinions.

I am proud to introduce the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act.
