‘King of Instagram’ slams Florida lawmaker as ‘fat Jew,’ vows to unseat him

ORLANDO, Fla. – Social media influencer Dan Bilzerian — a Tampa resident and so-called “King of Instagram” — made waves recently after he lambasted Congressman Randy Fine (R-Florida) as a “fat Jew.”

The comment was made in an X post last week, where Bilzerian criticized Fine for speaking ill of Muslims but also pushing legislation to protect Jews specifically.

“He has no place in our (government), and when I unseat him, I’m going to draft laws to have anyone putting Israel before America tried for treason,” Bilzerian wrote.

Bilzerian earned his moniker as the “Instagram King” thanks to his massive social media following, with nearly 30 million followers on the platform.

On Tuesday, the FEC website shows that Bilzerian filed to run as a Republican for Florida’s sixth congressional House district, meaning is poised to face off against the incumbent Fine during the general election in November.

That same day, Bilzerian again took to X to claim that Fine supported “America’s destruction.”

But in an interview with TMZ on Thursday, Fine stated that he wasn’t worried about Bilzerian as a challenger.

“A guy who’s a foreigner — he’s a dual citizen — who said Donald Trump is a pedophile rapist and should be impeached: that is not a serious candidate in a Republican primary where Donald Trump got over 90%," Fine argued. “So he’s not a serious candidate.”

Indeed, Bilzerian has been a vocal critic of Trump, labelling him an “extreme narcissist” and calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked over America’s conflict with Iran.

Primary elections are slated to be held on Aug. 18 in Florida, with the general election scheduled for Nov. 3.
