Action News Jax spoke with Fine at a pro-Israel speaking engagement in Jacksonville Monday.
“Look, it’s not a situation where he made one stupid comment or two stupid comments,” said Fine.
Among the posts, Tocco retweeted a post blaming 9/11 on Israel, called for the deportation of American citizens who hold dual Israeli citizenship, told Jewish Americans to “stop drawing swastikas on their own businesses to attract attention”, and commented on a post made by South Dakota’s Governor supporting a bill aimed at combating antisemitism saying, “50 shekels have been deposited into your account”.
