Dan Bilzerian, the Jew-Hating Conspiracy Tycoon

2026-08-25

A photo of the gentleman surrounded by a bevy of professionally beautiful ladies clad in variations on the theme of utterly inappropriate red underthings can be seen at the link. He has more time for that kind of thing after having lost the Republican primary so very decisively to [Jewish] Congressman Randy Fine (FL-6). It’s not clear how many of Mr. Bilzerian’s many fans actually believe his vicious nonsense, but clearly not many of those who do bestir themselves to vote.

[IsraelTimes] In the face of the unimaginable horror perpetrated against Israel on October 7, 2023, when innocent life was brutally cut short, one would have hoped that voices would unite in somber solidarity against terror and hate. But no, Dan Bilzerian, a man who has been faking for years to be a rough-around-the-edges “unfiltered” influencer and poker player, has seen fit to unleash a torrent of antisemitic abuse at this darkest of times. His statements, filled with conspiracy theories and sheer historical revisionism, are not only factually empty but a disgusting assault on the very existence and dignity of the Jews.

Dan Bilzerian’s extensive record of incendiary statements is well-established. He has consistently relied on disproven, outmoded stereotypes of “Jewish supremacy” and fact-free assertions that seek to blame Jews for nearly every contemporary disaster. Whether it’s claiming that Jews have “put themselves in a victim category” even as they control government, banking, and the media or carelessly stating, “Fuck Israel” and attributing the ills of the day to Jewish influence, Bilzerian’s words always cross the threshold from repugnant opinion to hate speech.

He has consistently relied on disproven, outmoded stereotypes of “Jewish supremacy" and fact-free assertions that seek to blame Jews for nearly every contemporary disaster.

Most objectionable, maybe, is his cavalier denial of the Holocaust. On network television, he once boasted that he would “bet his whole net worth” that fewer than six million Jews were killed in one of the greatest atrocities in history, a statement which is not merely a grotesque perversion of historical fact, but also an insensitive denial of the suffering of millions.

In a series of interviews, including on shows he’s appeared on that have been hosted by Piers Morgan and Patrick Bet-David, he blamed Israel for everything from the killing of John F. Kennedy to the conspiratorial fall of foreign dictators such as Muammar Gaddafi. With cynical disdain, he has gone so far as to try to redefine Hamas as merely a “resistance organization” and hailed its former leader, Yahya Sinwar, as a “hero.”

Bilzerian’s unchecked hate speech is a disconcerting reminder that bigotry doesn’t die; it just gets new platforms and new audiences.

The timing of his statements is a cynical manipulation of tragedy. To utilize such a moment to spread baseless conspiracy theories and to slander the same individuals who have borne the worst of terror is not only immoral, it is an affront to every ideal that supports human dignity and the rule of law.

Dan Bilzerian’s social media influence is remarkable. With 31 million followers on Instagram, his words have influence far beyond his community of decadence. In an era when social media can propagate hate speech within minutes, his irresponsible utterances have the potential to incite others to follow in his footsteps of extremism. There is deep irony in his self-appointed role as a “masculinity influencer” and truth-teller, a role that is compromised by his embracing of poisonous lies and conspiracy theories.

About that Republican primary a week ago:

Randy Fine defeats Dan Bilzerian in primary marked by antisemitism

[MSN] Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) won his high-profile primary Tuesday after social media star Dan Bilzerian jumped in the race that was plagued by antisemitism.

Fine won by bringing in 56.8% of the vote compared to Bilzerian’s mere 17.9% when the Associated Press called the race at 7:53 p.m.

Bilzerian ran an outwardly antisemitic campaign against Fine, who is one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel in Congress. There were two other candidates in the race, veteran Charles Gambaro and activist Aaron Baker.

Fine is backed by Trump and was elected to Congress last year by a special election to fill the vacant seat left by former Rep. Mike Waltz, who resigned to become the U.S. national security adviser.

Bilzerian lost despite his efforts to mobilize a massive social media following of over 25 million, building his campaign around America First policies and against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which included many controversial comments about the Jewish community and Israel.

Bilzerian released an AI-generated video last week attacking Fine's Jewish identity, including vulgar language calling him a “fat Jew” and portraying him as “Satanic.”

The heat on the campaign trail escalated this week, which prompted Democratic and Republican House leadership to condemn the antisemitic rhetoric from Fine’s primary challenger.

“The vile attack ads against Congressman Randy Fine in Florida's 6th District are disgusting and should be condemned by all political leaders on the Right and Left,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) wrote ahead of the primary. “Antisemitism and outward hatred of Jewish communities have no place in our politics or in America, and we will continue to call them out wherever they arise.”

“The hateful campaign being run by Daniel Bilzerian in Florida is blatantly antisemitic and shocks the conscience,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) wrote in a statement.

Fine had a cash advantage from donors, bringing in over $4 million this cycle with $1.2 million cash on hand, according to the Federal Election Commission. Bilzerian loaned his campaign nearly $1 million.

Trump carried the central Florida district by 30 points in 2024. The seat did not substantially change during the state's 2026 redistricting process, which began after the Supreme Court scaled back minority-voting protections in the Voting Rights Act.
