Oz came to Rose about three weeks ago to help him deal with his other medical ethics issue, asking him to say that Oz was not responsible for puppy slaughter. Rose, a Democrat who made a modest $165 donation to the Fetterman campaign, refused to give what he saw as a political favor to Oz. When Rose told him he didn’t appreciate Oz’s fealty to Trump and the Republicans, Oz ditched Trump.
The orange one is not going to be happy about that, and the Oz campaign knows it. A spokesman for the campaign completely denied it. “Doctor Oz never said any of those things, and it’s irresponsible and frankly pathetic that The Washington Post falsely attributes them to him,” Barney Keller, the spokesman, said. Enter Charles Stolar, a pediatric surgeon at Columbia.
Stolar verified the story, telling the Post that he spoke with Rose right after Oz talked to him, and he corroborated all of the details, including what Oz said about McConnell, Trump, and Mastriano. “I can assure you as sure as the sun rises that Eric is not lying,” Stolar said.
So here’s the choice of who to believe: the chief of cardiac surgery at Columbia or the guy who made himself famous peddling junk like raspberry ketones, “the No. 1 miracle in a bottle to burn your fat”; green coffee extract, “the magic weight-loss cure for every body type”; putting a bar of lavender soap under your sheet to prevent leg cramps; and basing personal health decisions on your astrological sign. Oh, and he oversaw puppy torture and slaughter in the name of research.
Yeah. That’s an easy choice. So is who should be representing Pennsylvania in the Senate.
The midterm elections are only SEVEN days away, and there are MANY ways you can get out the Democratic vote in Pennsylvania for John Fetterman. Check them all out at our Daily Kos GOTV page, and plug into the activity that matches your preferences & skillset.
