Democrat Jon Ossoff Blasts Rival Sen. Perdue's Controversial Ad

Jon Ossoff, seen here in 2017, has criticized an ad by his Republican rival, David Perdue, as"unbecoming of a sitting U.S. senator."Jon Ossoff, seen here in 2017, has criticized an ad by his Republican rival, David Perdue, as"unbecoming of a sitting U.S. senator."Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff is blasting a now-deleted attack ad from his incumbent Republican rival, Sen. David Perdue, that appears to engage in anti-Semitic tropes.

"For my opponent to stoop to this kind of incredibly divisive, inappropriate, offensive tactic is really disturbing," Ossoff, who is Jewish, said Tuesday at a virtual news conference,"and it's unbecoming of a sitting U.S. senator." The ad features a black-and-white photo of Ossoff with his nose enlarged. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish as well, is also present in the ad, which is captioned:"Democrats are trying to buy Georgia!"

Sitting U.S. Senator David Perdue's digital attack ad distorted my face to enlarge and extend my nose.Senator, literally no one believes your excuses.

Cc: ProjectLincoln any plans to call out this GOP hypocrisy re: antisemitism? Seems like the content for a new ad keeps writing itself.

No one in Georgia but damn transplants give a shit about Jon Toss-off!!

Even if we take Perdue’s denial of anti-Semitic intent at face value, he is a man - like all his Republican colleagues - who attracts these vile people. Vote ‘em all out.

Enough of these subversive racist republicans pretending to not be fascists

Vote in November. Nothing else matters. Venting on social media does nothing. Vote.

'appeared' ... RUFKM?! It's Georgia ... c'mon ... ANTI-SEMITISM SELLS

These Rs really suck. Really.

I had to stop my NPR pledge 2 years ago because of meely-mouthed trash like this....”appeared to engage”. How much clearer does it need to be for NPR to grow a set?

And rabidly antisemitic campaign ads from republicans really shock the shit out of the average reader?

How are you still pulling this in 2020?If the ad was anti-Semitic, it was anti-Semitic. There are no two sides to it.

Antisemitism is bad again? The charge must be against a republican.

Lmao, he made his nose bigger... lol, didnt think it could get any bigger. Guess i was wrong.

Did Twitter do anything about this blatant hate?

Our hidden uglinesses ooze out. America 2020.

Looks more like a Pinocchio nose. And 'trying to buy the election' isn't anti Semitic. Fake outrage.

Appeared to? Really NPR? We know you are biased against Israel, but didn't know you were Antisemitic sympathizers too.

Thirtty years living in Georgia. While sadly this doesn't surprise me, it's still not the worst thing I've seen in a senator's campaign ad.

The ad enlarged his nose, included another prominent Jewish politician and stated that they were nefariously 'buying the election.' In every respect the ad WAS anti-Semitic. Qualifying your post with 'appears to engage in' is pathetic.

'appeared' no. It was, and it was Intentional, ask any person who does graphic design. Change the headline and do better

This is the WASP-iest headline regarding a clear incident of antisemitism

I expected SO LITTLE of Purdue, and he still disappoints. The GOP is truly broken beyond all repair.

'Appears to have enlarged Ossoff's nose'? Why are you afraid to report this as factual when you know it is true?

Apparently, referencing pinocchio is anti-Semitic.

sendavidperdue really Senator?! U have stooped to anti-Semitic tactics of the Nazi Germany? This shows u r scared shitless. Just donated to ossoff again. Keep it up pretty boy. Come Nov u be looking for a job like ur boss.

Is anyone really surprised I want any Republican will do right now? It's just not to be believed what is happening to this country! This is 'the fruit that the Trump tree bares'

'appeared to engage in?' DID engage in anti-Semitic tropes. In the most obvious and vile way.

Seriously was there ever any doubt that the current Administration are racist

Give'm hell, Jon. ossoff

Poor jewish folk. I believe they deserve one senator. Is this too much to ask?

Fox has been doing this for a long time. Not just to Jews but to anybody that's a 'bad guy' for Republicans. Doctor images to make them look stupid or like caricatures. Not a surprise candidates would start doing it.

Oh I bet the republican brigade who came after Ilhan Omar is going to go nuts oh wait no this just in they are fine with this.

To be fair, he does have a really large nose

Perdue got the idea of using photoshop to enlarge things after sending dick pics to high school girls.

Typical Republican ad. Racist or anti semitic...and creating division among our citizens.

*racist* ad

It is obvious that republicans think they can only win by devious means.

'Controversial ad' and 'appeared to engage in anti-Semitic tropes' when you could just write 'anti-Semitic ad'

Strangely this keeps happening to Republicans

Senate GOP moves to cut $600 weekly jobless benefit by two-thirdsSenate Republicans are moving to cut the expiring $600 weekly federal unemployment bonus to $200 a week in a new coronavirus aid package they released Monday. Makes sense. I think people should be glad for $200. A good way for ea person to think about situation is, what would you do if current situation was merely economic downturn without a pandemic....just lost job for another reason? What would you do? Best we discipline ourselves. AMEN$ how about essential workers, Dems!? What the hell do we get for being out there every day!?
