Iran’s attack on Israel spurs response from Florida politicians

A peaceful Saturday in the Sunshine State was interrupted by news of Israel being attacked by Iranian drones, with two legislators in the House offering arguably the most diametric difference in reactions that were first among Florida politicians.

“Whoever hurts us, we will hurt them.” Go get ’em, Bibi. #BombsAway,” posted Rep. Randy Fine, a Brevard County elected who is the only Jewish Republican in the Legislature.

Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, a Winter Park legislator with Iranian ancestry, offered a more muted reaction.

“This is incredibly scary. Praying for the safety of innocent people and advocating for immediate de-escalation and ceasefire. We do not need more wars. Period.”
