Rep Randy Fine to bring 4-legged guest Sadie to Trump’s State of the Union amid backlash over X post

Rep. Randy Fine invites his father and his service dog Sadie to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address amid backlash over a controversial X post about “choosing between dogs and Muslims.”

Fine defended the invitation, noting the service dog’s presence as a personal guest and emphasizing support for Trump.

The event follows criticism of Fine’s now-deleted post, with opponents arguing it inflames religious tensions, while supporters call it a display of loyalty and family support.
