A new monkey wrench was thrown in House GOP leadership's plan to pass new floor rules that will allow the chamber to resume conducting business  this time, from far-right pro-Trump Rep. 
Randy Fine (R-FL). 
According to NOTUS, Fine, who first came to Congress in a special election last year, "has been telling colleagues he wants Trump to get rid of" longtime outside adviser Alex Bruesewitz . 
"But recently Fine has ramped up this effort." 
Fine now plans to vote down any House rules package until Trump agrees to remove Bruesewitz, a 29-year-old right-wing social media influencer. 
It's a blow to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who, with a greatly reduced majority, can only lose a couple of votes. 
Fine's beef with Bruesewitz dates back to the latter appearing on ultranationalist former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson's show, in which he agreed with Carlson calling Fine a "creepy fat guy ... who endorsed genocide" and added, “We have two extremes running that race, both I don’t agree with. 
So, we have Dan Bilzerian, maybe one of the people who’s helped bring degeneracy to young men in America more than anybody, and Randy Fine. 
Maybe we need some better choices.” 
The congressman, who has come under fire for his calls to use nuclear weapons against Gaza, hit back with a furious rant on X. 
“There is a mind virus that is trying to infect the Republican party,” he said at the time. 
“Tucker, Alex Bruesewitz, and Candace Owens fundamentally hate the American origin story. 
They seek to pit Jews and Christians against each other and fetishize Islam to distract from its stated goal to destroy the West.”
