Oprah snubbing Dr. Oz to endorse Fetterman days before the 2022 midterms is raising some questions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Looks like Dr. Oz is no longer one of Oprah’s favorite things.

The media mogul and WW International WW, +2.07% investor has endorsed Democrat John Fetterman over Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania’s Senate race.

Oz’s senior communications advisor Rachel Tripp told MarketWatch over email that there’s no hard feelings, however. “Doctor Oz loves Oprah and respects the fact that they have different politics,” she said. “He believes we need more balance and less extremism in Washington.”

But this November surprise coming just days before the pivotal 2022 midterm elections has raised plenty of eyebrows online — namely because Winfrey is responsible for putting TV personality “Dr. Oz” on many people’s radars in the first place.

2. The young vote is going to push Fetterman over the top

They grew up hearing Dr Oz, and never bought into his quirky sham bullshit

She’s gold. Never a problem with Oprah.

5. I'm sure her endorsement resonates with a lot of ppl, not just POC. She is still pretty beloved

6. When Oprah first had Oz on, in 2006 (I had to Google), he only talked about...

…medical/biological things - anatomy, physiology, common problems and illnesses, and the treatment thereof. Listening with my nurse’s ear, I thought he did a decent job explaining health and illness issues in an informative and interesting way for listeners who were not health care professionals.

Not quite sure when he started believing in his own celebrity and went over to the dark side.

7. Thank you, 3cat......

for a great, clear and concise reflection on the history of 'Dr. Ooz' and his time with Oprah. Yet another story about those that 'cross into the tRump zone' and suffer the consequences.......

GO, FETTERMAN!!!!!

She's got 43M+ followers on twitter and the current first post is about her endorsement of Fetterman.
