US Rep. Randy Fine, who has become notorious for his bigoted remarks against Muslims throughout his political career, was caught on camera Sunday rifling through the mailbox of a Florida voter.

A video that went viral on social media Monday shows Fine (R-Fla.) ringing the doorbell of a resident in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, where he was canvassing for votes ahead of Tuesday’s Florida congressional primary.

After the resident does not answer the door, Fine is seen opening up their mailbox and flipping through its contents for a few seconds.

Randy Fine just got caught committing a felony on camera. Your congressman just tried going through your mailboxes. That is a federal crime. I am calling on Randy Fine’s immediate removal from Congress & for an investigation to be opened. pic.twitter.com/UnyGquiS1S

Fine’s office confirmed to TMZ on Tuesday that the Florida Republican, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump over the weekend, is the man seen in the video.

According to an article published by Legal Overview in May, opening another person’s mailbox and touching their mail could run afoul of 18 USC § 1702 and result in felony charges for obstruction of correspondence.

Fine’s potentially illegal actions drew ridicule from Rep. Mark Pocan (R-Wisc.), who observed in a Tuesday social media post that MAGA politicians seemingly can’t stop committing crimes.

“Watch my ‘colleague’ Randy Fine break the law by going through someone’s mail,” write Pocan. “MAGA movement’s newest hero is breaking federal law. Just like Daddy Trump. Time to throw these bums out in November!”

Former Democratic Florida US House candidate Barbie Harden Hall also mocked Fine.

“Why are you looking through someone’s mailbox while you’re out canvassing?” she asked. “Not only is it wrong, it’s creepy as fuck. Randy Fine is a menace to basic human decency.”
