A state legislator from Brevard County pursuing a Senate seat has issued more provocative comments on college students.
Less than a week ago, Rep. Randy Fine said he thought that cohort should carry guns.
Now, he's likening them to one of the biggest domestic terror groups in American history, saying "students are allowed to act like" them.
The accusation came amid a blast against "(p)rofessors and administrators espousing and teaching terrorism; students allowed to act like members of the Ku Klux Klan, and worthless degrees in gender studies and other departments that serve as little more than job farms for unemployable 'wokies,'" by way of explaining his anger about the college system that awaits his high-school-aged son.
Fine says that, if elected, he will be engaged in "fixing the rot" at universities in the manner that he engaged in issues involving K-12 students during his tenure in the Florida House.
It's uncertain why Fine, a former candidate for the presidency of Florida Atlantic University, chose to liken college students to the KKK, an organization that peaked in the 20th century with the terror group equivalent of franchises in various states that led to an aggregate membership of roughly four million at its peak 100 years ago.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Klan continues to decline numerically, though it continues distributing flyers as a publicity tool.
Former President Donald Trump, Sen. Rick Scott, CFO Jimmy Patronis, and Wilton Simpson, who helms Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, have endorsed Fine's latest campaign.
