Rep. Randy Fine has allegedly told WH officials he will vote against every rule on the floor until Trump fires Alex Bruesewitz, one of President Trump’s outside advisors. Bruesewitz doesn’t work for the White House.
Bruesewitz, who I like, does not hold an official position in the WH but does have the president’s ear. Fine and Bruesewitz have been arguing since Bruesewitz’s appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast two weeks ago.
Fine was allegedly the lone Republican who voted against the rule this week, which, in part, attached the SAVE America Act to a bill. Fine denied voting against the SAVE Act.
Alex Bruesewitz is angering people because he wants foreign money out of the US political process, and he mentioned Israel as well. His issue is foreign influence and not support for Israel. He supports Israel.
I focus on what’s happening on social media because that is my profession and area of expertise. I would personally like to see all foreign money out of the US political process and system.

Tempest in a Teapot
Randy Fine voted no on a rule binding the SAVE America Act to a spending appropriations bill yesterday, as he had multiple times in the past, but voted yes to advance it.
What he voted no on (and indeed was the only Republican to vote no) was a procedural rule that binds the Save America Act to a separate spending appropriations bill. This rule allowed the SAVE America Act to be attached to the State Department/national security appropriations bill (H.R. 8595). Of note, this rule may actually DECREASE the probability of the SAVE America Act advancing in the Senate, if anything.
But once that procedural rule passed anyway, he voted yes on advancing the SAVE America Act, as he had voted yes on the combined bill, H.R. 8595, which contained the SAVE America Act.
This Is the Tucker Segment That Caused the Problem

Alex Is a Friend of Israel
Joel Fisher wrote on X, “Hey Congressman Randy, @alexbruesewitz is a huge asset to President Trump and the entire MAGA movement. He’s not going anywhere. He was a key advisor who helped deliver the 2024 reelection.
As a Jewish American, I can personally vouch — Alex has always respected our people and has zero issues with us. He’s a friend. Period.”
It’s about foreign influence, not Israel.

Alex Bruesewitz responded:
“Wow this is the first I’m hearing of this. I hope it’s not true. I hope Randy Fine (@RepFine) doesn’t let a social media disagreement stand in the way of him delivering for his constituents who overwhelmingly support President Trump’s agenda, including the incredibly important SAVE AMERICA ACT!”
