1. 😄 r&k 😄

2. The entire Democratic party should be taking lessons from John Fetterman.

He and his campaign team are masterful!

8. Jaime Harrison

came up with the perfect phonic for the GQP, the 'Fear, Fraud and Fascist Party'. Why the Democrats have not adopted that as the go to reference for the fascists is beyond reason. It's perfectly descriptive and has a natural flow to it. I guess the Dem leadership's fearful the 'moderates' and 'independents' will not like it. Can't upset 'em, ya know.

4. I love that he's taking the fight to Oz, but is it reaching the target

audience?

The benefit of this attack line is not only is it humourous but it makes Oz hard to take seriously and if this continues it reduces him to a figure of ridicule.

[Nevilledog]

5. Well, I only see the social media aspect, but Oz is as bad at messaging as Fetterman is good.

Not sure how much Fetterman is leading by, but he's leading.

22. It's also a great way of not making the race too long and tiring

Keeping the heavy and substantial matters of policy for the prime run-up for the election.

This is to energize our side in preparation for the core campaign season. Get the people who would volunteer with our campaign excited and engaged.

[OnDoutside]

25. I agree and he's certainly doing that.

[Wild blueberry]

6. Humor wins every time

[Lucky Luciano]

9. A bit anti-immigrant no?

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. No.

It makes another clear point that the tv fraud doctor has no ties whatsoever to Pennsylvania. That's all.

[FakeNoose]

13. Mrs. Fetterman is born in Brazil, so I think that's a "no"

“Some of my best friends”
“My wife is from”

…doesn’t always show goodness.

I was misinformed though. I didn’t realize the fake doctor was still a Turkish citizen. I understood the meme to mean that he happened to be in Turkey when he voted in the US. I didn’t know you could run for senate without even being a citizen.

[FakeNoose]

16. Dr. Oz has dual citizenship - U.S. and Turkey

He has already said he won't give up the Turkish citizenship. And he owns at least 2 residences in Turkey, in addition to several more the in the states.

20. Stop just stop...Oz isn't merely from Turkey...he voted in their election as he has dual

citizenship...bit different. I would never vote for OZ...sorry dual citizenship doesn't work for me.

[Lucky Luciano]

23. Of course nobody should vote for Oz. He's a nitwit.

[Demsrule86]

28. hehe...he is a nitwit indeed and a grifter...

26. Mehmet is Erdogan's puppet and he wants Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen back in Turkey.

It's complicated. Messy. Corrupt.

Rudy Giuliani urged Trump to turn over an exiled Muslim cleric to Erdogan, raising concerns that he was lobbying for Turkey

29. I don't believe Fetterman would get into this stuff, unless Oz does something nasty first

Really the race isn't even that close. Fetterman can take the high road in this campaign for the most part.

However, those of us who aren't running a campaign, well WE can post this on social media even though Fetterman won't do it. Supposedly Dr. Oz has told Chump not to campaign for him in Pennsylvania. I doubt that he even talks to Giuliani. So we'll see.

[SMC22307]

33. I don't know how the Fetterman campaign will handle it.

But it's serious business, and ties into Mehmet's Turkish citizenship, service in the Turkish army, and votes in Turkish election(s). Which country is he loyal to? We'll see. But Twitter is ALL OVER IT, that I know.

[Hekate]

14. Oz retains his Turkish citizenship, votes in their elections, & served in their army in order to...

…retain his Turkish citizenship. He’s had a long career on TV, just like Trump, and pretends to be a real doctor just like Trump pretends to be a real businessman.

He wants to be elected to the United States Senate.

What is wrong with this picture?

There are any number of US Senators and Congressmen/ women who are immigrants and I can name several off the top of my head. But in no case do they retain citizenship in the foreign country of their birth — they are proud Americans and citizens of the US.

[xocetaceans]

17. Why would the US want it that someone who is keeping citizenship in another country could serve...

...as a Senator or Representative in the US Congress or in the judiciary for that matter? It's ridiculous on its face that any US politician or judge should have a potentially divided allegiance like that.

So, exactly how does the ad's position even remotely equate to being anti-immigrant? It's perfectly ok to have standards for elected officials and for the judiciary.

The next logical question would be if you think it's anti-immigrant that the US President is required to be a US citizen by birth. Is that anti-immigrant, too?

[IronLionZion]

19. Mehmet Oz is not an immigrant. He's a US born dual citizen

who votes in a foreign country's election.

It's a valid issue for an election to US Senate.

[JI7]

21. He actually DOES have citizenship of another country

[kcr]

24. No nt

[SMC22307]

27. Mehmet Oz was born in Ohio. (n/t)

[ancianita]

12. Man, I can't wait to see what him trolling Repubs in the Senate!

[PatSeg]

18. Oh, he's good!

Fetterman needs to give lessons to other Democratic candidates.

[uponit7771]

30. K&R,

[mvd]

31. That is a riot!

He’ll be so good in the Senate. Could use laughs right now.

Pure gold! 🤣🤣🤣
