"In terms of antisemitism, all I did in an ad was pointed out that Josh is going around saying he's got the Bible in one hand and the constitution in the other. But he's Jewish," Pukita said. Pukita's response was quickly condemned by [his opponents].
Pukita last month was cut out of a forum hosted by the Center for Christian Virtue after the organization deemed his radio ad to be antisemitic. In a statement at the time, Pukita's campaign called the claim "ridiculous and defamatory."
"Mark Pukita is absolutely, unequivocally, undeniably a complete supporter of religious tolerance and of Israel," a spokesperson said. "He is not a supporter of phonies and panderers."
