He should find a soulmate in Ronny Jackson. Maybe they could start a band - Bad Doctors?

Muslim. Seems like that might be a problem with the GOP primary electorate.

Another celebrity grifter. Perfect ambassador for the Republican party.

Cue all the enterprising Philly reporters camping out in front of Oz’s in-law’s house looking and waiting for any sign that he actually lives there. Looks like voter registration fraud to me.

So, not only is he not a legislator, he’s not even an effin’ doctor.

He’s of Turkish descent, yes, and apparently has a personal relationship with Erdogan.

Perfect GOP candidate, a quack, snake oil salesman with no morals.

Bad news for rivals courting that Angry-Karens-Who-Lunch-For-A-Living-And-Buy-TV-Horsesh*t demo.

I suppose he must meet a residency requirement for PA. Has Oz ever actually voted in PA, for example? Any property or a lease in his name? I recall Hilary Clinton moved to New York and lived there a good while before running for Senate.

Nevermind, Oz probably is all prepped to call foul if he tries to register to run and is not allowed to go forward.

He has no chance. He’s a huckster…a well groomed con man. That works if you stay in that biz and move from con to con. To susceptible to susceptible. You run on your past when you enter politics and his past is going to destroy him. It seeks a different clientele and works by different rules.

Anyone running against this POS need do little more than dig up his broken promises and how much Oz made off them.

This guy has admitted under oath in a Congressional hearing that he’s basically a huckster and snake-oil salesman who says shit to sell products on TV. Whatever credibility he had as an MD back in his Oprah days is long, long gone. And how he’s telling us that basic tools for preventing infectious disease – wearing masks and avoiding crowded places – were some evil scheme to deprive us of freedom?

Yeah, good luck with that.
