Quack Doctor Oz Carpetbags His Way Into PA Senate Race

It's the Republican way! When you haven't got any candidates worth their salt, find a celebrity, even if he doesn't live in the state>




By Karoli Kuns — December 1, 2021
Republicans are desperate to find candidates who won't be trounced on by their whacko Trumper base. After Sean Parnell flamed out in PA when the court determined he shouldn't have custody of his kids due to abuse issues, they were left empty-handed.

In comes Dr. Mehmet Oz, quack doctor and Fox News favorite, to fill the GOP bill. But there's a bit of a problem. Dr. Oz doesn't actually *live* in Pennsylvania. He's lived in New Jersey and had offices in New York, but he isn't a resident of the state he wants to represent. We call that carpetbagging, Dr. Oz. Voting absentee using the address of his wife's parents does not a resident make! In fact, New Jersey and New York voter rolls should be checked to see if he voted more than once in different states!

Oz is fluent in English and Turkish.[97] He is a holder of Turkish and American citizenship, having served in the Turkish Army to retain his Turkish citizenship.[2]

Oz is a Muslim[98][99] and says that he has been influenced by the mysticism of Sufi Muslims from central Turkey,[12] as well as the ideas of Emanuel Swedenborg, the 18th-century Swedish theologian.


Swedenborg is more of a mystic than a theologian.

Kansas Senator Pat Roberts didn't live in Kansas.
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley doesn’t live in Missouri.
Now, Dr. Oz plans cheat Pennsylvania.

Being widely recognized as cheaters apparently is not a problem for them or the GOP.
