ASSOCIATED PRESS Florida state Rep. Randy Fine (R) called a constituent a "Judenrat" Nazi collaborator. Florida state Rep. Randy Fine (R) is facing backlash after referring to a Jewish constituent on Facebook as a “Judenrat,” a term for a Nazi-installed council made up of Jewish members during World War II. Fine, who also is Jewish, used the word to attack Paul Halpern, 68, of Palm Bay, Florida, who commented on a Facebook post the state lawmaker wrote on April 4, as first reported by the Orlando Sentinel. “Questioning the policies of the Israeli government is not anti-Semitic,” Halpern wrote, adding that Fine was not in attendance. ″#JudencratDontCount,” Fine commented.
