Rep. Rashida Tlaib is rallying behind socialist-aligned candidates trying to unseat Reps. Jared Moskowitz and Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida, a move one Republican congressman calls a deliberate targeting of Jewish Democrats.

Tlaib, the Michigan Democrat and first Palestinian American woman elected to Congress, is scheduled to appear Friday at a Fort Lauderdale event called "Chomp the Oligarchy," hosted by progressive groups Gen Z For Change and the Florida Youth Justice Coalition. A flier posted on Instagram announced her appearance in support of three congressional candidates, two of whom are socialists challenging Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz, both Jewish incumbents running in newly redrawn Florida districts.

Rep. Randy Fine, Florida's only Jewish Republican in Congress, did not hold back. Fine told Fox News Digital:

"I think that it's no coincidence that she's coming to target two of the remaining Jewish Democrats."

Neither Moskowitz's campaign nor Wasserman Schultz's campaign responded to requests for comment. Tlaib's campaign also stayed silent.

Fine calls Tlaib 'a vocal supporter of Hamas' targeting Jewish colleagues

Fine went further, framing Tlaib's Fort Lauderdale trip as part of a broader pattern he sees inside the Democratic Party. He described Tlaib as a vocal supporter of Hamas and said the candidates she backs reflect a faction hostile to the country itself.

Fine said:

"I think the Democratic Party is lost, and I think it's dangerous. I don't know that it's 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."

He added that Tlaib embodies that wing of the party more than anyone else. "They hate it. They are here to destroy it, and no one embodies that better than Rashida Tlaib," Fine said.

Tlaib has faced bipartisan criticism over her comments regarding Israel and Jewish people, though she has denied accusations of antisemitism. She and other Democrats have previously accused Fine of anti-Muslim racism. The mutual accusations underscore how toxic the intra-party and cross-aisle dynamics around these races have become.

The broader pattern Fine describes, progressive Democrats singling out Jewish targets, is not new, but it is escalating in ways that alarm both Jewish Democrats and Republicans.

DSA-linked candidates have already toppled House Democrats in three states

Tlaib's Fort Lauderdale rally is not an isolated event. She has emerged as a power player on the far left this election cycle, campaigning with candidates tied to the Democratic Socialists of America across the country. Those candidates have already toppled incumbent House Democrats in New York, Colorado, and Michigan.

In Michigan, socialist politician Abdul El-Sayed defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens for the Democratic Senate nomination, a result that sent shockwaves through the party's moderate wing. Tlaib campaigned alongside El-Sayed.

The DSA's growing influence inside the Democratic Party raises questions about where the organization's ideological commitments actually lie. A former Democratic counsel has noted that a majority of the DSA's governing board openly backs communism, a fact that makes the group's expanding footprint in Democratic primaries difficult to dismiss as mere progressive enthusiasm.

Fine warned Florida Democrats directly about what he sees as the stakes. "I'm 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," he said.

Redistricting reshapes the battlefield in two South Florida seats

The two races at the center of Tlaib's visit both involve districts recently redrawn by Florida's legislature. Moskowitz currently represents the state's 23rd Congressional District but is running for re-election in the 25th, which was redrawn to give Republicans a stronger shot in the general election. That redistricting makes the Democratic primary more consequential, whoever wins it may face a tougher general-election fight.

Wasserman Schultz is running in the newly redrawn 20th Congressional District, a majority-Black seat that leans heavily Democratic. Her entry into that race has already sparked backlash from critics who argue it could displace historically Black representation.

Into both of those contested primaries, Tlaib is now inserting herself and the DSA-aligned movement she champions. The names of the three candidates she is supporting at the rally were not identified in the event announcement.

The Democratic Party's inability, or unwillingness, to police its own far-left flank has become a recurring theme. The party has endorsed candidates with deeply troubling associations before, and each time, leadership has treated the episode as an isolated embarrassment rather than a structural problem.

That pattern extends well beyond candidate endorsements. The broader progressive movement has repeatedly rebranded conduct that courts and juries treat as criminal, a tendency now drawing international legal consequences.

No response from Tlaib, Moskowitz, or Wasserman Schultz

Fox News Digital reporter Elizabeth Elkind reached out to all three offices for comment. None responded. The silence from Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz is itself notable, two incumbents facing primary challengers backed by one of the most polarizing members of their own caucus, and neither had anything to say about it publicly.

That silence leaves voters in South Florida to draw their own conclusions. Fine has drawn his. He sees a congresswoman with a record of controversial statements on Israel and Jewish people traveling to a heavily Jewish part of the country to boost candidates running against two Jewish incumbents, and he does not believe it is a coincidence.

Whether Florida Democrats agree with Fine or dismiss him, the fact remains: Tlaib and the DSA-aligned left are not content to reshape the party from safe blue districts in Brooklyn and Detroit. They are taking the fight to South Florida, into districts with large Jewish populations, and the party's leadership class appears content to watch it happen.

When a party cannot, or will not, draw a line between legitimate primary competition and what looks like ideological targeting, voters eventually draw the line for them.
