Mehmet Oz Spends Half Million Bucks On Paid Actors Posing As Convicts, Dredges Up Old Arrest Incident To Smear Fetterman

It’s an axiom of politics that desperation breeds dirt and the more desperate the candidate is, he dirtier things will get. That said, Mehmet Oz may end up showing the usual dirty tricksters a thing or two.

Tuesday morning it was revealed that the good doctor hired actors to portray convicted felons.

The idea is that the criminal element simply loves John Fetterman because birds of a feather. Or Willie Horton. Or something. Oz is an amateur at this and boy does it show.

And of course, you know it has to get worse. Right? Oz’s next great act of wizardry is to dig up a clip from nine years ago, when Fetterman was mayor of a Pennsylvania town and he held a jogger at gunpoint. Turns out the jogger was innocent. Also turns out that the jogger supports Fetterman’s campaign.

During Pennsylvania’s Senate primary, Black Democrats worried that the GOP would target voters with ads about the time Democrat John Fetterman pulled a gun on a Black jogger he wrongly suspected of a crime. Now it’s on the air,” NBC News reported. […]

“A political committee backing Fetterman’s opponent in the general election, Republican Mehmet Oz, is launching a 30-second TV ad about the incident that started airing Tuesday on networks that have solid African American viewership, such as Black Entertainment Television, the Oprah Winfrey Network, MSNBC and ESPN, the group, American Leadership Action, said by email. The committee also has a companion 15-second digital ad designed to reach Black voters on their smartphones and social media feeds,” NBC reported.

“Fetterman leads in nearly every poll, and by double digits in some surveys, prompting Republicans to train their fire on him to keep Democrats from flipping the Senate seat that Republican Pat Toomey is giving up,” NBC reported. “The incident happened nine years ago when Fetterman was mayor of the Pittsburgh-area town of Braddock. He said he heard what he thought was gunfire, saw a man running away, chased him down with his shotgun and detained him until police arrived. The jogger, Chris Miyares, was found at the time to have committed no crime.”

Miyares is backing Fetterman’s campaign.

Here’s the clip.

A lot of damage was done to Oz over Labor Day weekend and apparently he thinks these tactics can undo it.

The last thing in the world Oz wanted was Trump doing a rally in PA. He didn’t ask for it, but had no choice and had to be there. The guy who removed Trump from his website and won’t say his name after the primary was now on every PA TV station standing next to Trump.

And you caught this morning’s story about how Oz doesn’t go along with Trump’s election denial and that’s the easiest way to get Trump to cut you off, and pronto.

One thing Oz does have in common with Trump is that neither one of them is any good at the rough and tumble of a campaign. Oz is clearly out of his depth, making stupid choices, and not connecting with the electorate. Now he’s playing dirty in the last seven weeks until the election. Fetterman is going to take all this in hand and play Oz like a violin.
