This man should be in federal prison for that graphic. What the actual hell. Why.

See, I get that Oz has nothing to run on here, but again, his complaints about Fetterman not doing events literally make no sense.

1) he has done a few in July
2) for the 10000th time, it's not like he's not doing events just for the fun of it. the man had a f**king stroke. no rational voter is going to hold that against him.

Despicable graphic, but this is brought to you by the party that nominated a guy who repeatedly mocks people for their appearance to be President. So whatever.

Who's working as Oz's graphic designers? I desperately need to know.

It also would not surprise me if Oz truly did not have his heart in this. I really think initially he thought he would be able to parachute in and use the 'Dr Oz' fame to his advantage and the accolades he got from people during that show to boost his candidacy, and I think now he may be realizing that it was a total miscalculation.

Yup, and he possibly assumed the national environment alone would carry him over the finish line.

I think a lot of Republicans are thinking that way this year. Ironically, that is what could end up backfiring on them. It's very reminiscent of their idol, Trump. When Trump is at his most arrogant, that's usually when he suffers the most.

It still might, but I'm gonna assume a lot of unexpected GOP wins first atp.

Oz reminds me of how some local Georgia sources have described David Perdue: a successful rich guy who got into politics out of boredom, but wasn't really cut out for it.  In Perdue's case, he was fortunate enough to run in a Republican wave so he won his first race, but his subsequent campaigns showed that he actually isn't a very good politician.

Loeffler, too.

Oooh they mad

Does hawking snake oil remedies on Oprah Winfrey's TV show count as a 'real job'?

[wbrocks67]

I'm not sure what is worse or out of touch here - the fact that Biden literally had a whole speech yesterday about the IRA, what it's doing to help, the plan, how families ARE still reeling from inflation and high prices .... or the fact that Oz is still going on about "gas prices are rising" when they've fallen for over 50 days straight.

That, combined with all the lies about Fetterman not doing public events or talking to the media (both of which happened in July) it's almost as if Oz is living in June 2022 right now instead of August

Something I've learnt from politics; when people make digs about their opponent spending their whole time on twitter it basically means 'I'm getting angry that you are tweeting about me/attacking my campaign.'

Weird side note, but is it just me or has Fetterman been losing quite a bit of weight? That’s a good thing for him prolly though he’s always gonna be a bigger dude

I mean he had a stroke. Often times medical issues can cause that. Nobody has ever gotten fat on hospital food.

Can confirm, I have a picture lying around somewhere from when I met him in 2016. Definitely looks lighter than he did back then.

Even before the stroke he was dropping weight IIRC

[Joe Republic]

He used to weigh over 400 pounds as recently as 2017, and lost 148 pounds over the following year during his Lt Gov campaign.




And he didn't even have to buy any fake diet pills he saw on some huckster's show on TV!

Just saw a Youtube pre-roll ad as I'm heading out the door this morning.  

Quote: "Dr. Oz will deliver results, not partisan rhetoric."

The first time I've seen Team Oz embracing an explicitly moderate angle.  

I think he figured it would be self-evident. Campaign has been a disaster. Heard whispers he regrets running.

From where are you getting that? Are you involved in the GOP ground operation in PA?

That said, I wouldn't be totally surprised. Can't imagine him withdrawing though.

I have reliable sources, which I will keep private for my own confidentiality—they are not actually within the campaign. I also can't imagine he actually withdraws in the end, so it doesn't really matter if you believe me or not. His apathy seems pretty evident on the surface.

Yeah I think he's realizing that if he wins, it's a six-year commitment.

Oz has now made three of the lazy Fetterman posts in the last 24 hours and has even registered www.fraudsterfetterman.com

[cg41386]

I haven't seen something so petty and dishonest in a long time.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Unsurprisingly, the Oz campaign seems desperate and is throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks. Let's just hope that nothing actually does end up sticking.

[GALeftist]

Lmfao. TV Snake Doctor is such a real, salf-of-the-earth profession, unlike the coastal elitist globalist position of Mayor of Braddock.

These are the kinds of things Democrats need to do to even the playing field with the GOP. For too long the importance of online ads and social media has been neglected by the Democratic Party.

Whatever he does Oz always gets ratioed.

Which I find remarkable considering how internet-savvy their base and some of their presidential candidates have been (Dean, Obama, Sanders)
