'I know politics can be nasty, but even then,' said JohnFetterman, 'I could never imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges.'
"I know politics can be nasty, but even then," said Democratic candidate John Fetterman,"I could never imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges."Dr. Mehmet Oz is being widely rebuked after the Republican candidate's campaign for the open U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvaniathat his Democratic opponent Lt. Gov. John Fetterman would not have suffered a stroke earlier this year if he"had ever eaten a vegetable in his life.
In a statement released early Wednesday, Fetterman's team said the comment from the Oz's senior communications adviser Rachel Tripp was an"unhinged" and"nasty" thing to say even during a high-stakes political race, in addition to being"irresponsible" coming from a physician who should know better."I know politics can be nasty, but even then," he added,"I could never imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges.
The topic of vegetables recently became a point of contention between the two after Fetterman and his supporters lambasted Oz for a video in which the Republican candidate complained about how much it cost at the grocery store to put together aThe Fetterman campaign has also tried to portray Oz as a charlatan who has used his status as a doctor to push questionable treatments and health advise on his unsuspected television audiences.
