#Mehmet Oz
Text
Dr. Oz is a fraud? Shocking. And the Associated Press didn’t thoroughly vet a glowing puff piece on him? Amazing.
SN: I am neither shocked nor amazed.

Republican analysts and commentators blamed Donald Trump for the party's disappointing performance in the midterm elections when hopes for sweeping victories fell short.
The former president had endorsed hundreds of candidates in the midterm elections as he sought to cement his control over the party. But as of early Wednesday many were performing poorly.
The most prominent setback came in Pennsylvania, where Mehmet Oz, the Trump-endorsed Senate candidate, was defeated by Democrat John Fetterman, damaging Republican prospects of taking control of the upper chamber.
In a CNN interview, former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin blamed the failures on the poor quality of the candidates Trump championed.
"Are they going to continue to nominate poor-quality candidates to appease Donald Trump?" she said of Republicans.
"If you want the Republican Party to thrive, we've got to just finally speak out and say, 'This man is a loser, he lost 2020, he's losing a seat that is winnable this time," she continued.
Scott Jennings, a conservative analyst who has been an advisor to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said the results showed that Trump's hopes of winning back the presidency were a non-starter.
"How could you look at these results tonight and conclude Trump has any chance of winning a national election in 2024?" he said.
Caleb Hull, a pro-Trump communications strategist, said that it was time for the GOP to move on from Trump.
"I LOVED Trump and campaigned for him in 2016 but the guy has lost his mind and attached (sic) everyone in our party far too much to be a serious face going forward. The COVID-19 briefings did him in and now he's sealed it. Time to move on," he tweeted.
Liam Donovan, a former aide to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, also laid the blame at the feet of the former president.
"If this proves to be another Senate flop in a year that was otherwise favorable to Republicans — even if not a wave — it will again be a function of the candidates they put up, which was unmistakably shaped and steered by Donald Trump," he told The New York Times.
Trump has endorsed hundreds of loyalist candidates who have embraced his lies that the 2020 election was stolen. Many of them have checkered pasts and have pushed fringe conspiracy theories.
Oz had attracted criticism with a series of gaffes on the campaign trail and even recorded a campaign video from his New Jersey mansion while seeking to assure voters of his ties to Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania, Trump's defeated candidate for the gubernatorial race, Doug Mastriano, had associated himself with the QAnon conspiracy theory movement and attended a rally before the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump-endorsed Georgia senate candidate Herschel Walker's campaign was rocked by revelations he'd paid for a woman to have an abortion while calling for the procedure to be banned on the campaign trail. That race is in the balance and may result in a run-off vote.
Trump had hoped to use the successes of his candidates in the midterms to launch his own campaign to return to office in 2024, but much of the praise from senior Republicans Tuesday went to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose sweeping reelection victory was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise disappointing evening for the GOP Tuesday. He is considered Trump's leading rival for the 2024 GOP nomination, and Trump had attacked him in interviews on the eve of the midterms.
"All the chatter on my conservative and GOP channels is rage at Trump like I've never seen," Michael Brendan Dougherty, a Senior Writer at National Review, wrote on Twitter. "'The one guy he attacked before Election Day was DeSantis — the clear winner, meanwhile, all his guys are shitting the bed.'"

Mehmet Oz is a lying quack. And he’s running for office in my state. No, you don’t get to be called a ‘Doctor’ when you sell snake oil for over a decade.
Now, the top video is from 2014, but he’s still up to the same old tricks. Their ad campaign is running misleading spots I keep seeing on TV which imply their main opponent is doing all the crazy shit that cult-whose-name-is-a-letter believes, and even wanting to make murder legal; even though the clip they show cuts off the rest of what was said. Wanting to abolish a law does not always mean you want to make something legal; but it does mean you think the law is flawed and needs replacement, not merely to be adjusted.
But then, this is a man who repeatedly claims to have found “miracles”, then when asked to his face, under Congressional testimony, flat out denies it, and has continued to do so. He should not have a medical license or any political power, period. And of course he thinks you should use an anti-malaria drug, for a parasite, on an unrelated virus, which never made any goddamn sense..
Fuck him, fuck the traitor Doug Mastriano and all the other mediocre men who are trying to follow up on America’s Beer Hall Putsch, Greg Abbott is a little piss baby, and DeathSantis is also a piece of shit. Heck, let’s throw in a fuck Rafael “Ted” Cruz too while we’re at it, who hides his name & origin while simultaneously demeaning transfolk and being anti-LGBT+ in general!
And as usual, fuck Trump! 200,000 pages, holy shit...

I mean doesn't it just make you angry. This news coming out about Oz's experiments on dogs. Not just because Oz is a fuckhead and that the stories of what happened go these dogs is disgusting...
But because those stories? Dogs being injected with deadly drugs with no anesthesia? Live, dying dogs thrown into trash bins to suffocate amongst their dead, rotting siblings? Those stories happen every single day to animals who are not dogs. Where is the outrage when rats are injected with deadly drugs? Where is the outrage when piglets are thrown into dead bins?
If Oz is a bad person (and he fucking is) because he tortured 300 dogs over the course of years, then why is there no outrage against those who torture MILLIONS of rats and pigs and chickens and everyone else, every single DAY?
It's manufactured outrage, plain and simple. The campaign was paid for by the Senate Majority PAC, it's a political hammer and nothing more. Politicans aren't going to talk about pigs and rats having the exact same thing done to them every day because they don't benefit from it, and voters won't talk about it because they're complicit in it.
People love to pretend to care about animal cruelty and the Democrats love to wield righteous outrage as a political weapon. Everybody wins except the animals.

Most (if not all) republicans running this year keep on telling the same lie. A lot of the Democrat candidates wants to release non-violent people from prison (like people who got 10 years for possessing weed) so their prisons won’t be as crowded.
So of course the republicans are spinning it as “They want to release MURDERERS from prison!” Which is the opposite of what the Democrats are saying.
Democrats should probably start trying to sue these republicans for defamation of character. It’s one thing to say something bad about someone that’s true, like “Ron Johnson wants to cut your social security.” It’s another thing to flat-out lie about them.

Fetterman has served as the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania since 2019. Prior to that, he was the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, for 13 years. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Fetterman's parents supported him well into his 40s because he was only earning $150 per month during his mayorship. Fetterman has acknowledged this support and now earns $217,610 as lieutenant governor.
In 2018, The New York Times debunked Trump's claims that he was a self-made billionaire. The outlet reported Trump received the equivalent of at least $413 million from his father's real estate empire, beginning when he was a toddler.

I mean, it’s just one crudités, Mehmet. What could it cost?
And I love the idea that , in a misguided attempt to look more relatable, some overpaid consultant advised him, “No, don’t use a grocery cart. It looks more natural this way. Trust me,” and Dr. Oz probably said, “What’s a grocery cart?”
