Sen. David Perdue invokes racist and antisemitic tropes that scapegoat Democratic Jews and people of color.

Georgia Sen. David Perdue (R) released a campaign ad this week invoking racist and antisemitic tropes and negatively depicting both Jews and people of color, in an attempt to persuade voters against voting for his Democratic opponent.

Perdue tweeted the campaign video on Friday morning, claiming that his runoff race against Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff was not just about him, but his responsibility to save the country from the individuals depicted in his video — an unmistakable dogwhistle.

"This race is about more than Jon @Ossoff and me," Perdue, who faces Ossoff in a Jan. 5 runoff election, tweeted. "This is a battle for the future of our country. Democrats want to move America away from our founding principles and turn our country into a socialist state. Help @KLoeffler and me stop them."

The video first depicts a masked Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) saying, "Now we take Georgia, then we change America!" Ominous music underscores his words and vibrant orange text captions it.

1. It's vile, and they run it constantly.

Kelly Loeffler is running equally-disgusting ads against Rev. Warnock, as well. We'll have to put up with this shit for another month.
