Dan Bilzerian, the mega-influencer who’s spread conspiracy theories about Jews and said he wants to “kill Israelis,” is running for Congress.
Bilzerian registered this week to run in the Republican primary against the Jewish far-right firebrand Rep. Randy Fine in Florida’s sixth district. Bilzerian initially gained fame for his Instagram photos alongside bikini-clad women, but has since become a vocal critic of Israel and Jews and has repeatedly called Fine a “fat Jew” in the lead-up to his campaign launch.
In the months after Hamas’ October 7 attack and the ensuing war in Gaza, Bilzerian’s social media presence began taking its current shape of focusing predominantly on Israel and, eventually, Jews.
“Who causes the majority of the world's problems?” he asked, with users overwhelmingly voting for the multiple-choice option “16 million Jews.”
