Georgia GOP Senator's Campaign Claims 'Anti-Semitic' Ad Was Just A Graphic Design GaffeLink to tweet Sen. David Perdue’s campaign says it was "an unintentional error" by graphic designers that resulted in distorting an ad that shows Jon Ossoff, who is Jewish, with a bigger nose.

David Perdue’s (R-Ga.) campaign has now removed from Facebook the ad, below, that showed Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, who is Jewish, with a bigger nose:

Republican senator deletes ad that made Jewish opponent’s nose bigger
by: Aiden Pink Forward.com July 27, 2020 Link: https://forward.com/news/national/451581/jon-ossoff-jewish-nose-david-perdue-antisemitic/ 
Snip.... The ad called for donations to Perdue, a Republican, by claiming that “Democrats are trying to buy Georgia.” It uses black-and-white photos of Ossoff and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is also Jewish, that have been Photoshopped to appear as if they were pulled from an old television set with poor reception.
But the Ossoff image, which was adapted from a 2017 Reuters photo of him, was also changed by having his nose lengthened and widened, even as other parts of his face stayed the same size and proportions, three graphic design experts told the Forward. KY........  ......... |
