The ad prompted condemnation from House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and other lawmakers, who denounced the ad as hateful and unacceptable in politics.Bilzerian responded dismissively to the criticism. Meanwhile, Fine urged voters to reject his opponent&#8217;s ad, emphasizing the importance of opposing such hate. The controversy has garnered notable media attention and political fallout, with prominent Republican figures condemning Bilzerian&#8217;s actions and defending Fine&#8217;s campaign.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dan Bilzerian, the divisive social media personality running against Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/randy-fine\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"17705\">Randy Fine<\/a> (R-FL) in Tuesday\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/primaries\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"2655\">primary<\/a> election, finds himself under bipartisan fire after he released an antisemitic <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/campaign\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"801\">campaign<\/a> advertisement attacking the Jewish congressman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DanBilzerian\/status\/2087988263843926227\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DanBilzerian\/status\/2087988263843926227\">AI-generated video<\/a>, Fine is seen sporting the Star of David and a photo of Israeli Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"378\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> on his clothing.
