Mehmet Oz is running for US Senate in my state

I don't know much about the guy but I've read a book that he wrote a forward to and I've seen him on a tv interview. Some say he's a bit kooky but I've not seen anywhere that mentions him being corrupt. If that's the case, I've no issue with him being a senator for PA.

He wants to debate Fauci, which is never going to happen, but the challenge has been made.

What the deal with. Dr. Oz and can we trust him?

I don't trust TV personalities.

Ok, but why him specifically?

Not a chance would I trust him.

He seems like a giant squish to me. When asked about abortion, the guy couldn't even answer directly and honestly. I would have no use for someone like that.

Furthermore, does he even live in Pennsylvania?

Why is he not practicing medicine? I did like Marcus Welby MD.

Are you saying he's not?

So far my opinion is he can't possibly be worse than Toomey. At worst, it'll be more of the same. I'm not saying I'm for the guy, just that I'd like to know more about him.

He wouldn't vote with his party. He would vote with his religion.

Ah, I see. I had to look it up but I see what you mean. From what I've seen he claims to be both Muslim and a member of a fringe Christian sect.

Since I live in PA, I am starting to learn more about him. I liked the well done interview he had a while back with Jordan Peterson. He seemed to be in agreement with a lot of what Jordan said, and the fact he even interviewed him at all was a good sign. He seems "ok" on guns, but he does support red flag laws unfortunately. He owns property in PA but doesn't live here. Residence is not a requirement to run for Senate here. I'll be following his candidacy, but I think there will be others better aligned with my values and principles.

I'd trust gas station sushi before I'd trust him.

You've already learned more about him than I have. If you have any links or videos to share, I'd appreciate it.

Didn't he get his TV start as Oprah's doctor, appearing on her old talk show?

Too early to tell how he will pan out.
At least let him speak his views.
It's easy to dismiss just to be viewed as "discriminating".
You just have to compare him to the whoever is opposing him in the primary.
Certainly a better choice than ANY Dem.
Let it play out.

It's a good point.

I'm watching the Jordan Peterson interview now. It's good to watch. It's 6 hours long so I should add "so far".

I personally know the whore. Oz never passes on an opportunity to make a buck, has promoted bad medicine many times and is greasier than any Cuban felon released by Castro.

No fucking way should anyone in PA or elsewhere vote for this small, self-centered quack.

Perhaps you could elaborate rather than bloviate?
