Fine was asked about Piker — who was born in NewJersey — being banned entry into the UK where he was scheduled to speak at the SXSW London Festival “because of their criticism of Israel,” The BBC reported.
Fine then went on a rant about banning Piker from the U.S., and falsey claimed Piker is a “terrorist”:
Well I don’t think he should be allowed into America, so I think that’s a good start…
People have freedom of speech but I think when you’re a terrorist you should be held responsible for that. And I think he’s clearly a supporter of terror. He’s a walking billboard for the problem of birth tourism.
He was brought here by his Turkish family, they had him, then they took him home, made him hate America, then sent him in to torment us. The guy’s a horrible human being and I wouldn’t let him into my country if it was up to me, so I don’t blame them…
He promotes Muslim terror, so I think they’re making the right decision. I’m surprised they did it but I think they did the right thing.
