Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is facing censure and calls for his resignation from some Democrats after he wrote a social media post suggesting that he values dogs more than Muslims.

Fine, who is Jewish, wrote on social media on Saturday that “if they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

The Florida congressman said he was writing in response to a comment from Nerdeen Kiswani, founder of the anti-Israel protest group Within Our Lifetime, weighing in on a debate in New York City about dog litter.
