It’s about time!
Pennsylvania Republican candidate for Senate Dr. Oz has finally gone on the offense against Democrat candidate for Senate John Fetterman.
Shortly before the state’s primary, Fetterman suffered a stroke; since then, his public appearances have only lasted about 10 minutes.
As fun as it is to make fun of him, the man is not well, he makes Biden sound like a scholar.
John Fetterman today held his second rally since having a stroke in which he spoke for less than 5 minutes.

Fetterman is ducking requests to hold a debate with Dr. Oz, and in response, the Republican candidate campaign came out swinging.
“If John Fetterman had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, then maybe he wouldn’t have had a major stroke and wouldn’t be in the position of having to lie about it constantly,” Rachel Tripp, Oz’s senior communications advisor, said.
Part of Tripp’s response was a swing back at Fetterman’s campaign mocking a recent Oz commercial.
Folks, that hit a nerve causing Democrats and the media to flip out.
I had a stroke. I survived it. I’m truly so grateful to still be here today.
I know politics can be nasty, but even then, I could *never* imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges. pic.twitter.com/0fJHESjt4l

Is this really the pose-meme moral high ground? https://t.co/ExWNUZPdMS

Moreover, the statement from Dr. Oz’s senior communications advisor @retripp was made in a *written statement* which suggests forethought and campaign approval.https://t.co/uxvclyQZCt https://t.co/TixVtQ31QL

If Oz wants to win the race for Senate, he has found a way to do it. The question is does he have the guts to do it?
John Fetterman leaves the stage after only his second campaign stop in over three months.
