Last night John Fetterman was on MSNBC and was asked why he turned down debating Dr. Oz.
Fetterman responded with the dumbest excuse I’ve heard in this campaign cycle:
He claims he won’t debate Dr. Oz because Oz is ignoring the condition of his campaign or something. Seriously. What does that have to do with anything?
Fetterman says he’d be willing to discuss a debate with Oz if Oz were serious about it. Um, what? That makes zero sense.
He clearly doesn’t want to get embarrassed by all the radical stuff he’s said in the months and years past. There’s so much of it that Dr. Oz could spend the entire debate reciting it all.
In fact he did a little of it today on Twitter:
I have something important I want to talk about. As I've traveled across PA, I've heard so many stories. Some inspiring. Some heartbreaking. Here are some heartbreaking ones.

Mary and Horace Swarr were elderly siblings who lived in Lancaster. One day, George Burkhardt and others broke into the Swarr's house and brutally beat them, tied them up, and robbed them. The Swarrs were found dead one week later.https://t.co/9RXJZthdiU

Wayne Covington was high on drugs when he shot 18-year-old George Rudnycky in cold blood. Covington was convicted of murder and given a life sentence. Rudnycky's mother said: "my son didn't want to die — my son wanted to live like anybody else."https://t.co/0WYYfTPGfy

What do all these stories have in common? They all involve convicted MURDERERS who @JohnFetterman successfully/tried to pardon and release from prison. Some of these pardons were so out-of-touch even @JoshShapiroPA opposed them.

.@JohnFetterman
says he opposes life sentences for murder. He says he wants to release 1/3 of the PA prison population. He says "I'm trying to get as many out as I can."— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) September 1, 2022
.@JohnFetterman is the most dangerous and radical Democrat running for U.S. Senate this year. I need the help of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to stop him.

In fact Fetterman said exactly what Oz attributes to him, that he wants to release 1/3 of the PA prison population:
Lastly, Dr. Oz smacked Fetterman this morning after he was begging for more funds from voters:
Have you asked your parents for more allowance? https://t.co/ZfYWT8Vi9n
