'Literally a hologram': Dr. Oz bashes Fetterman as 'fictional' candidate
Washington Examiner ^ | September 09, 2022 11:00 PM | Brady Knox, Breaking News Reporter

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz bashed his Democratic opponent, John Fetterman, on Friday, calling him a manufactured candidate.

Oz lambasted his opponent for refusing to agree to any debates for the midterm elections in November. He went on to describe Fetterman as completely manufactured by the media, saying they only want a placeholder candidate to get their agenda through.

"They're being duplicitous. They're manufacturing a candidate, literally a hologram — this fictional person that they want their readership to adore, and that's what they're trying to achieve," Oz told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday night of the media's relationship with Fetterman. "It's not working because the people of Pennsylvania are too smart for that."

As evidence, Oz pointed to Fetterman refusing every debate with him despite Oz's agreement to six different debates.

"Democracy lives on asking questions of each other. I will do whatever I can to serve the people of Pennsylvania. When John Fetterman agrees to zero debates ... it shows that he doesn't have the interest at heart of voters. And he's dodging the debates because he doesn't want the debate. He cannot defend the far-left radical positions you just articulated," he said. "Here's the truth: The reason he's getting the money is because the liberals in California and New York don't know how radical he is. I can't imagine that, with good conscience, they would support him. What they want is the 51st seat in the Senate; they're just trying to get a placeholder."

Fetterman has loosely committed to a debate with Oz in October, though, while his campaign says he can perform the duties of a senator, his recovery is not yet far enough that he can handle "hostile auditory environments." Oz's campaign has made Fetterman's health a pressing subject.

Not a problem. Obama was. Biden was.

Some might argue that Bush also was.

Uncle Fester was real. And Fetterman is the reincarnation of Uncle Fester. But, Uncle Fester was nice, whereas, his reincarnation is horrible as a person.

If OZ wants to win he needs to go on the offensive. Not that many voters are tuned into Hannity.

If OZ has not done so already, he needs to go to Braddock, PA and do an ad showing how bad this city looks after Fetterman was its Mayor from 2006 to 2019.

Fetterman does not have any past accomplishments to be a United States Senator.

I hate it when people use “literally” to mean the exact opposite.

Also, since Fetterman refuses to debate, OZ should conduct an ‘empty chair’ debate where a moderator asks OZ a question and then the moderator asks the ‘empty chair’ the same question.

Since so much of political campaigning is done via the internet these days, who needs the media hacks to be a moderator.

Nice to see Dr Azz campaigning, but he is still a POS

HUH? And some think he’s a badass with the hoodies and ersatz tats and shaved head. Some facial tats would probably push him over the top. Oh and a backwards ball cap too. 😵

Not that many voters are tuned into...

Fetterman who is whining about being ripped as a radical and a former candidate who shall remain nameless would disagree. Good idea about the Braddock commerical. Send it to Oz's team.

I don’t think the shot gun take down for jogging while black has made enough impact

In reality Fetterman is just a glutton, a fat guy with spindle legs and man tits. In a mano-a-mano cage match, President Trump would kick Fetterman's lard arse to a pulp.

“The race has somewhat tightened in recent weeks, though Fetterman is still 8 points ahead, at 48.5%, to Oz’s 40.4%, according to the most recent polling from FiveThirtyEight.”

If these polls are true, it’s because a lot of Pennsylvanians are morons. You encounter some of them on FR.

I have an Oz sign in my yard.

Yes, Fetterman is repulsive in so many ways.
