Dr. Mehmet Oz had a tumultuous trip to the GOP nomination to become the next senator from Pennsylvania. One of his primary opponents, Kathy Barnette, has stupidly and stubbornly refused to endorse him. Yet, for the most part, his critics (including me) have done the smart thing and let the chips fall. Once Oz became the nominee, he became exponentially preferable to his Democrat opponent, John Fetterman.
Yet, while the spotlight has remained on Oz, with much second-guessing about how well he’s running his campaign, perhaps the attention should turn towards Fetterman? We know he had a stroke and has a serious heart condition, something he claimed was no big deal at the time. According to a new report from The New York Times, though, it sure seems like he was lying when he said he’ll be able to serve with no problem.
You have to love how the Times just glosses over that extremely important, make-or-break detail. They frame everything in the article as bad news for the GOP while just casually tossing in “Oh yeah, the Democrat in Pennsylvania lied about his health and is so bad off he still slurs his speech.” But he is “expected to resume campaign events in the coming weeks,” they proclaim.
