This might be the answer as to why Trump endorsed Oz.
Oz was a bad choice on Trump’s part. he is a RINO chameleon in the Romney Etch A Sketch mode. He is whatever he has to be. He WILL disappoint you. Barnette won’t.
Trump endorsed Oz because they’re both celebrities.
Assuming this "report" is true, it still doesn't make Trump's endorsement of Oz any more palatable.
Oz cannot answer honestly about abortion. His flip-flop was too well timed to be in alignment with his political aspirations.
He was all on board with "systemic racism" being one of the biggest problems in medicine, and more personal positions that should be patently abhorrent to any right thinking Conservative.
That said, while I haven't served in the military, my father, uncles, grandfather, great grandfather did and I can trace my family's military service back to our time in the old country.
IF the reports about Barnette are true and she's deliberately misleading the public, she should do the right thing and step down from the race. Lying about one's military service to get into office is flat out wrong. (Sidney Blumenthal anyone?)
The same for Dr. Oz. He's lying to the public about his true stance on abortion, his statements about systemic racism being a huge problem in medicine and more. He cannot nor should not be trusted with political office.
What's going to suck about all this is that Democrats will likely get the seat now. The complete failure of the Republican Party in PA (and elsewhere, including my own state) to field quality, fully vetted candidates with unimpeachable backgrounds may be the very reason the Stupid Party (Republicans) don't take back BOTH the House & Senate this year.
I'm seemingly never disappointed by the Republican Party's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
He endorsed Oz, because he wants Oprah as his VP, if he runs in 2024, and he wants her to take over when he retires.
