Jewish Democrats in Florida on Thursday called for Gov. Ron DeSantis to pull out of a rally with Pennsylvania Republican Doug Mastriano, arguing that the appearance with a candidate who has welcomed the support of Christian nationalists would only encourage far-right extremism.

DeSantis, who is himself up for reelection, is scheduled to attend a rally in Pittsburgh on Friday with Mastriano, who won the GOP nomination for governor after being endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

Currently a state senator, Mastriano has been widely rebuked, including by members of his own party, for associating with Gab, a social network favored by white supremacists, including the man who attacked worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue; Mastriano praised Gab's founder -- a self-described "Christian nationalist" who has said Jews are not welcome in his movement -- and paid the site $5,000 before deleting his own account in the wake of criticism.

"Let's not mince words here: Mastriano is an antisemite," Fred Guttenberg, a gun control activist whose daughter was killed in the Parkland school shooting, said on a press call Thursday. "He has shown himself to be with words and actions over an extended period of time. Any embrace of Mastriano is an embrace of antisemitism, full stop."
