John Fetterman Is Spending The 4th Of July Obliterating Mehmet Oz

PoliticsUSA

Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is out with a new video that is an absolute destruction of his PA US Senate opponent Mehmet Oz.

Here is the video from the Fetterman campaign:

John Fetterman
@JohnFetterman


If you’re OK with a celebrity TV doctor who ISN’T FROM PA and has a house that used to belong to King George…

I am, uh, not your candidate.


The video shows Oz and his wife in the $48 million New Jersey mansion and points out that Oz owns 9 other properties, with his latest one being in Pennsylvania. It shows the lavishness of Oz’s wealth in comparison to Pennsylvanians who can’t go on vacation this summer.

Donald Trump could not have chosen a worse candidate to match up against the blue-collar attitude of John Fetterman. The Lt. Governor’s attitude and values scream Pennsylvania.

So far the only thing that Oz and the Republicans have come up with has been to paint Fetterman as Bernie Sanders, and voters aren’t buying.

And expensive ones at that. There's a lot of working poor in this country that will never
be able to afford a house, doomed to paying rent until they die.

Aside from misspelling the name of his Pennsylvania "hometown," the place Mehmet Oz lists as his home address is a business called "Guardian Angel Medical Supplies?" These are the google earth screenshots of it.

If I was a guy who lived in New Jersey, who'd voted in a foreign country just 4 years ago, and who wanted to pass myself off as an authentic Pennsylvanian, I'd like to think I'd at least go to the trouble of having a home address that was an actual, you know, home.

Imagine how differently things would have turned out if the Democratic Party had run this way against Trump.

32. Remember that he went through a bruising primary
Mon Jul 4, 2022, 05:10 PM

where the GOP establishment here and nationally went full force against him (and similar multimillionaire loser McCormick pulled out all the stops). So... many PA residents saw all those ads.

For example -





Because of all the people running in their primary, he managed to squeak through what became a 3-way race (when you look at the top finishers that included him as well as 2nd place Dave McCormick and 3rd place Kathy Barnette). On the campaign trail, he even called out Barnette's now-deleted 2015 tweet (archived here) that called Islam a cornerstone of pedophilia.

So there is a disturbance in the GOP force that can't be underestimated. And although they do have a tendency to rally around their nominees in the general, I don't think all of their factions are along for that ride, perhaps hoping to look to 2024 when Bob Casey's seat is up, and any drop in their voting for either of the GOP's top-of-the-PA-ticket candidates (for U.S. Senate and Governor), is welcome.

Or that the 9 homes make Oz much smarter and better than the big dude who lived in an old car dealership.

Ironically the dumbest Pennsylvanians are more hostile towards Fetterman's immigrant wife than Oz's dual citizenship.

Taking down Rich Richards like The Great Oz is like picking up litter. A little public good, a bit of satisfaction.

Fetterman's blue collar, economic populist approach is absolutely perfect for this state at this time.

Well, one of many ways. He looks like a Star Trek villain. Must be those weird eyebrows or something.

Either way, no like.
