Let's start in Georgia:
Republican Sen. David Perdue of Georgia deleted a Facebook ad targeting his Jewish election opponent, Jon Ossoff, that appeared to have been altered to make Ossoff’s nose bigger.
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.
Meanwhile here in Alabama...
A Republican state lawmaker is facing criticism over a social media post bragging about his participation in an event celebrating the birthday of the Confederate general who helped found the Ku Klux Klan.
Republican Rep. Will Dismukes said he had a great time speaking at an annual celebration for Nathan Bedford Forrest's birthday.
That was so offensive the Chair of the Alabama Republican Party issued a news release criticizing Dismukes.
Were the candles on the birthday cake in the shape of crosses?
