Dr. Oz Accidentally Gives Fetterman An Awesome New Slogan As Insult Backfires

Looks like the Wizard made an ass of himself again:

Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz may have given Democratic rival John Fetterman yet another unintentional gift ― this time with a supposed insult that sounds more like a compliment, especially in Pennsylvania.

Fetterman, Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, often wears a hoodie ― something Oz seems to find unacceptable, albeit for a curious reason.

"When he dresses like that, it's not an accident," Oz said on the "Ruthless" podcast last week. "He's kicking authority in the balls. He's saying, 'I'm the man. I'll show those guys who's boss.'"....


Apparently he thinks that kicking authority in the balls and being the man and showing who's boss are bad things....

You obviously don’t exactly have a finger on the pulse of Pennsylvania.This guy, Oz, went to prep school about a mile from my house here in Delaware. My friend, an estate planning lawyer, worked on his parents will years and years ago mentioning son Mehmet Oz. She remembered because of the unusual name. This is just another spoiled rich kid, bored with his life

or TX. He was counting on PA's reputation as Philadelphia on one end, Pittsburgh on the other, and Alabama in between. He was hoping his star power plus the fact he thinks the state is full of stupid people to get him elected.

I really do hope he's dead wrong.

Isn't 99% of the republican party worried about emasculated men? And their voters want candidates who are going to "drain the swamp" or "shake things up"?

I guess since Dr. Fraud is neither, he's complaining about Fetterman's capabilities.

Most are followers (sheeple) first. Tend to be members of a religious flock.

They have many who get a thrill out of violence and given an opportunity overcompensate for other personal deficits. In this sense, no, Authoritarians tend to be miniscule.

It takes true courage (heart is the appropriate organ) to stand up to over-compensating RWAF motherfuckers.

(sorry for harsh language but it seemed oddly appropriate given aspects of their violence)

Trump conned them all into thinking he was an outsider that was going to kick the government in the balls. Man. Oz is a fucking moron.

Dr. Oz took aim at John Fetterman’s clothing and said he was “stunned by” the “costume” and believes it contains a “deeper message.”

Oz: “When he dresses like that, he’s kicking authority in the balls.”

You are NOT the working women/men’s type governor. You are just like tfg. Next time run in the state you live in wherever that is since you have so many homes in different states.
