Republican Sen. Perdue of Georgia has taken down a digital campaign ad featuring a manipulated picture of his Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff, who is Jewish, with an enlarged nose.

A spokeswoman for Perdue said in a statement Monday that the image has been removed from Facebook, calling it an “unintentional error” by an outside vendor, without naming the vendor.

“Anybody who implies that this was anything other than an inadvertent error is intentionally misrepresenting Senator Perdue’s strong and consistent record of standing firmly against anti-Semitism and all forms of hate,” the spokeswoman said.“Sitting U.S. Senator David Perdue’s digital attack ad distorted my face to enlarge and extend my nose. I’m Jewish. This is the oldest, most obvious, least original anti-Semitic trope in history,” Ossoff said in a statement.

Perdue is seeking a second term in November as Republicans look to hold on to the White House and Senate majority.

Sadly bipartisanship has long been forgotten by this leadership... If only our forefathers could come back and re-align these halfhazardly pandering speakers/representatives for THEIR PEOPLE

Typical Republican !

Are all GOP senators trying out for minor supervillains in the Marvel Comics adaptation of 2020?!? GOPdogwhistle RacismIsEvil

LucyPesk Can these guys get any mire racist? They sink lower and lower.

.....who is Jewish, with an enlarged nose. Nice sentence structure😂

Posted ad nauseam YESTERDAY.

This is the republican party, misfits all of them.

They're helpless. It's their red dot. So there it is.

No one who uses racial stereotypes in their political ads should be in Congress or in any elected position.

So, outside vendor? I guess this means we don’t even get the flaccid, “I apologize if anyone was offended,” this time. People of Georgia, time to show where you stand.

sir that's still mmm just a tad antisemitic, I'd vote for ossoff if I was in GA

SHAME, SHAMEFUL behavior!

What a bunch of malicious $$sholes those GOP guys are!

Why?

How can it be that ANYONE in this day and age thought that was acceptable?

Should we applaud for the least of decency?

Oh anti-Semitic Georgia no way

empowergracewi Always the Republicans. I’m so sick of these criminals.

Republicans really seem to have a bad problem with racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, science denialism, incompetence and corruption

No, ya don’t get to print your anti-Semitic shit and then say oops - Maya Angelo said it best - ‘when someone shows you who they are - believe them the first time’.

Maybe he’ll deliver a bullshit white grievance apology on the senate floor
