Mehmet Oz, known as a “doctor” by Oprah fans, is running for Senate in Pennsylvania. Oz is not competent to offer up legitimate diet supplements or effective public health remedies, let alone be in charge of anything more than the brand that is “Dr. Oz.” In recent weeks, he has been scorched by his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.
In Oz’s defense, he’s an easy mark. He’s rich and he mostly has lived in New Jersey and continues to mostly reside in that other state. He’s a rich asshole who is carpetbagging his way into Pennsylvania. He and his campaign have turned themselves into something of a legendary campaign disaster. They’ve released mind-numbingly out-of-touch videos attempting to explain how in-touch the multimillionaire Oz is, while also handling their social media account the way that a serial killer might if he wanted the police to catch him.
On Tuesday, Mehmet Oz decided his new best bet was to attack John Fetterman for having a stroke a few months ago.

Campaign Action
It is important to note here that Mehmet Oz’s policy solutions include literally nothing actionable. But his campaign told Business Insider that "If John Fetterman had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, then maybe he wouldn't have had a major stroke and wouldn't be in the position of having to lie about it constantly.” This comes after Fetterman and millions of others have had fun with Oz’s old campaign video attempting to buy ingredients for his wife’s “crudités” at a local Pennsylvania grocery store (that Oz misnames).
So, Oz’s lack of ideas, residence, and experience aren’t the problem; it’s John Fetterman’s diet? Fine. Let’s turn to Corey Lewandowski, who is Mehmet Oz endorser Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, for a description of the menu favored by the twice-impeached disgrace of a former president: “On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke.”
We can all eat healthier. Being bad about your diet is one thing, but having no actual policy ideas other than you want power means you are a sociopath. Just saying.
