ALERT!! THIS IS A CRITICAL SEAT FOR REPUBLICANS TO HOLD ON TO THEIR MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE. Below is a report about the Democrat candidate running in a special election, who supports gender transition treatment for children.
Democrat Josh Weil, 40, a self-described “proud progressive,” single father, and public school teacher in Orlando, is running in Florida’s special election to fill the U.S. Congress seat vacated by former Rep. Michael Waltz, who is now President Trump’s national security advisor.
According to the Daytona Beach News Journal, Weil is “affiliated with the Islamic Center of Orlando, the Florida Education Association, the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus, and Progressives for Democracy in America — Florida Chapter.” Weil has raised over $10 million in his effort to win the open U.S. Congress seat.
Weil has admitted hat he is a Muslim, and is bisexual. He was born and raised in New York, but moved to Florida in 2013.
NOTE: President Trump has endorsed Republican State Senator Randy Fine, for the seat. The election will be held on April 1, but early voting has already started. Fine is Jewish. Weil is pushing the narrative that Fine is “anti-Muslim.”
SEE THE IMPORTANT REPORT BELOW:
From Fox News: A Democratic candidate for Congress in Florida is being criticized for pushing “radical gender ideology” after resurfaced social media posts show him advocating for children to receive gender transition treatment.
“Banning health care for any human being is a violation of human rights,” Josh Weil, Democratic candidate for Congress in FL-06 posted on X, then known as Twitter, in March 2021.
“#TransRightsAreHumanRights and while we’re at it #MedicareForAll so that all trans children have free, and safe access to the medical services they need.”
Weil was responding to a post from the ACLU that said, “BREAKING: Arkansas has become the first state to ban health care for trans youth.”

In January 2021, Weil CHEERED a Washington Post report announcing, “Biden selects transgender doctor, Rachel Levine, as assistant health secretary.”
Levine, a biological man, is well known for pushing transgenderism for children.
Weil wrote, “The strongest statement our Government has ever made that TRANS LIVES MATTER! It feels so good to know that there are more mornings on the horizon, where I wake up to news like this.”

In April, 2021, Weil condemned a proposed bill in Iowa called “Senate File 80” that would require teachers to give parents 7-days notice if they plan to ask their kids about their preferred pronouns. The bill also required teachers to report the answer back to the parents.
Weil spoke out against the bill, claiming, “In addition to all the harm this will do to trans and enby youth, this bill will 100% result in a loss of teachers. Every time, in every state, whenever lawmakers try to drop their baggage and bs on teachers, teachers leave.”

Also in April 2021, Weil wildly claimed, “In Georgia they are explicitly trying to keep black people from voting. In Arkansas they are trying to eliminate trans people. We need a new ERA, explicitly defining voting and health care as inalienable rights, and making it impossible for states to restrict them.”

Republican Randy Fine – who President Trump has endorsed in the special election to fill Waltz’s seat – posted a video Friday where Weil proudly announces, “I’m a Muslim, and I’m bisexual.”

Earlier this month, a transgender campaign staffer for Weil was arrested. Arlecia Darne Brown, 35, is a biological female who has transition to male. Brown, a convicted felon, has 19 prior arrests, and was busted on March 7 for stealing a child’s bicycle, among other things, while out campaigning for Weil.

On March 10, Republican candidate Randy Fine held a press conference, sharing alarming details about the incident with Weil’s campaign staffer, as well as about Weil’s own violent history.
“‘Jihad Josh’ Weil is literally paying violent felons to stalk the homes of voters,” Fine warned.
Fine also noted that Weil converted to Islam after the 9/11 terror attacks, and said he was radicalized into violence and criminality. “Since converting, Jihad Josh Weil has a lengthy document history of supporting Muslim terror, and justifying and participating in criminal activity himself,” Fine said.
He pointed to an 2015 incident where Weil – a teacher – was suspended for three days for violently beating one of his students, slamming his head into the ground.
Weil was also accused of physically assaulting and stalking a female teacher. And last year, Weil was arrested for “driving erratically and dangerously.”

Weil first ran for U.S. Senate in Florida in the 2022 election, in an attempt to take then-Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat.
He wrote in a post on Twitter on January 13, 2021, “If elected, I promise to make a huge scene when I am sworn in on the Qur’an. #laillahaillAllah.”

Weil boasted in February that he was going to “Retire Rubio next year, and be the first Muslim Senator in U.S. history…”
السلام عليكم
Br. @keithellison, how about a RT for the Progressive Dem who’s going to #RetireRubio next year, and be the first Muslim Senator in U.S. history, Insha’Allah.https://t.co/VhRQkYx7sd— Josh Weil (@JoshWeilFL6) February 25, 2021
Weil had March For Our Lives founder David Hogg coming to help him for a campaign event on Saturday.
Goooooooooo team! 📣
Early Voting Week’s here, and every bit of support counts. Sure, voting’s the big one. But if you really want to help, spread the word. Likes and shares matter, but tagging friends, dropping comments—that’s where the ripple starts. pic.twitter.com/kwCtNJ58SJ

On Saturday, Fine blasted Weil over an ad he had released, and wrote:
Josh Weil’s advertisement falsely labeling me ‘violent’ and ‘un-American’ is a blatant antisemitic attack on my Jewish faith. Antisemitism is fundamental to the Weil campaign – and this ad has absolutely no place on the airwaves.
Unfortunately, Weil’s antisemitic ad comes from his deep-seated hate of Israel and Jews. He accuses Israel of genocide for defending itself, called US support for Israel to defend itself against Hamas ‘immoral,’ and wants to end all US aid to Israel if he’s elected. He is a rank bigot and his ad should come down.
