    He's a quack who shouldn't be holding a medical license. Just how much has Oz grifted off of people pushing snake oil?

    He's a grifter. No one going through med school believes what he peddles, especially OZ.

    Sadly it is a real tweet of his from 2018. He deleted the tweet after taking a lot of criticism about it.

    Dr. Oz Demands Fetterman Fire ‘Convicted Murderers’—Who Were Granted Clemency
    NEW LOW
    https://www.thedailybeast.com/dr-oz...convicted-murderers-who-were-granted-clemency

    Pennsylvania GOP Senate nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz’s struggling campaign upped its attacks on opponent John Fetterman’s record on crime on Thursday, calling on the Democrat to “fire” the “convicted murderers he employs on his campaign.”

    The two men they pointed to, however, had their life sentences for second-degree murder commuted last year after decades of advocacy over the belief they were “wrongfully convicted” and “innocent.”

    Last year, after Dennis and Lee Horton’s sentences were commuted, Fetterman called supporting their clemency the “highest honor” while saying these “good men will not die in prison for a crime they didn’t commit.”

    Prior to their release, the Hortons’ case became a cause célèbre for criminal-justice reform advocates, especially as Pennsylvania gives automatic life sentences on second-degree murder convictions.

    Oz and his campaign weren’t alone in politically targeting the Hortons—the Republicans’ national Senate committee bashed Fetterman for “being soft on crime” while demanding he fire the two campaign staffers. (On the other hand, before pushing Oz’s demand that the Hortons be banned from Fetterman’s campaign, senior communications adviser Rachel Tripp said “conservatives need to be involved in criminal justice reform” to fight “systemic inequality.”)

    The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s editorial board, meanwhile, recently knocked Oz for “distorting Fetterman’s record” on crime and resorting to “fear-mongering.”

    Let's take a look at the insulting list of "concessions" from Dr. Oz regarding the debate -- which are only peddled to insult Fetterman for recovering from a stroke. If I was Fetterman I would tell Oz that he is a clown who is not worth debating.


    Fetterman rejects Oz offer to hold first debate, calls list of 'concessions' insulting
    John Fetterman said the debate "concessions" from Mehmet Oz's campaign in Pennsylvania's Senate race “made it abundantly clear that they think it is funny to mock a stroke survivor.”

    John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for an open Senate seat in Pennsylvania, rejected Mehmet Oz’s offer to hold their first debate next week, saying the GOP candidate's campaign thinks "it is funny to mock" his recovery from a stroke.

    “I’m eager to put my record and my values up against Dr. Oz’s any day of the week," Fetterman, the lieutenant governor, said in a statement Tuesday evening. "As I recover from this stroke and improve my auditory processing and speech, I look forward to continuing to meet with the people of Pennsylvania."

    Fetterman added that a list of debate "concessions" from Oz's campaign team earlier in the day "made it abundantly clear that they think it is funny to mock a stroke survivor."

    The Oz campaign said it would "pay for any additional medical personnel" Fetterman might need to have on standby, in addition to permitting him bathroom breaks and allowing him to have all of his notes on hand, along with an earpiece to obtain answers from his staff.


    “My recovery may be a joke to Dr. Oz and his team, but it’s real for me,” Fetterman said.

    Oz, the celebrity TV doctor, formally challenged Fetterman, the Democratic front-runner, to five debates this month to boost his chances of catching up with him, while highlighting Fetterman’s health challenges months after he suffered a stroke.

    Brittany Yanick, a spokesperson for Oz, responded to Fetterman's decision not to debate by calling Fetterman "a liar, a liberal, and a coward.”

    "Ok, so when will he debate?" she added. "He won’t ever say — not even in his latest whiny statement."
