Reply to comment by DoctorSteve in In rare rebuke, two retired War College professors say Doug Mastriano is unfit to be governor by BeltfedOne

I point out to every Republican I know that Dr Oz is a turkish nationalist who actively funds and supports Turkish politics including hosting his entire extended family at one of many Turkish villas/compounds throughout Turkey. They always say "I didn't know that." but then attack Fetterman like its a competition.

Honestly, and I know the Fetterman campaign does more online than Oz does, there isn't enough time left in the campaign to air enough attack ads about how bad a candidate Oz is. He's given so many interviews as well. That one from today of Oz talking about when he would stick a needle in his sister's head to try and extract her brain could run for the entire cycle.

He's a messed up guy in every facet of his person. There are no redeeming qualities. His response to Covid-19 I'm sure isn't what the Fetterman campaign wants to focus on since they are trying to sway voters who probably aren't vaccinated themselves, but Dr. Oz is responsible for tens of thousands of American deaths during the pandemic. Maybe more? It's insane.

I know I agree with everything you said. The fact Oz is considered a serious candidate and has support in PA both amazes and scares me. If he was a democrat he would have zero support. If he didn't win the Republican primary he would have zero support. The fact that he is a Republican means that people will vote for him even if he represents nothing about the people putting him in power.

And this speaks volumes about Republican voters as people for supporting this nutjob in the first place.

The mystery ingredient here is the backing of EX President DJT, chief oathbreaker and insurectioner. Anyone he backs, I will vote against.

Isn't it weird how a group of people that have been so vocal on their feelings about Muslims (remember Obama guys), yet they have zero issue with Oz?
