Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is being criticized by Florida's lone Jewish Republican in Congress as she works to unseat two fellow House Democrats.

Tlaib is appearing at a rally in Fort Lauderdale Friday held by left-wing groups in support of three congressional candidates, according to a flier posted on Instagram, including two socialists running to unseat Reps. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.

"I think that it's no coincidence that she's coming to target two of the remaining Jewish Democrats," Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.

"It won't be well received in Florida," he continued. "How it's received in a Democratic primary — look, the Democrats are lost. But 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."

Tlaib has been a power player on the far left so far this election cycle as candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) dominate establishment Democrats in key elections across the country.

But DSA-linked candidates have also been accused of criticism against Israel that approaches antisemitism, according to the group's opponents, while being sympathetic to terror groups like Hamas.

Tlaib, the first Palestinian American woman in Congress, has faced bipartisan criticism for her comments on Israel and Jewish people. The Michigan congresswoman has denied accusations of antisemitism.

But Fine said Tlaib was a "vocal supporter of Hamas" and said the far left was making Jews in America feel unsafe.

"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," Fine said of the far-left surge.

"They hate it. They are here to destroy it, and no one embodies that better than Rashida Tlaib."

DSA-linked candidates have already toppled House Democrats in New York, Colorado and Michigan. Also in Michigan, socialist politician Abdul El-Sayed defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens for the party's nomination for Senate.

Tlaib campaigned with El-Sayed and other DSA candidates across the U.S.

Friday's rally is called Chomp the Oligarchy and is being hosted by progressive groups like Gen Z For Change and Florida Youth Justice Coalition.

Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz's campaigns did not respond to requests for comment on Tlaib's appearance. Tlaib's campaign did not respond to a request for comment on Fine's remarks.

Tlaib and other Democrats have previously accused Fine of anti-Muslim racism.

Moskowitz, who represents Florida's 23rd Congressional District, is running for re-election in the 25th Congressional District, which was recently redrawn to give Republicans a better shot in the general race.

Wasserman Schultz is running in the newly redrawn 20th Congressional District, a majority-Black district that leans heavily Democratic, sparking backlash for potentially impacting the area's historically Black representation.
