John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate candidate from Pennsylvania, has dragged his Republican opponent, Mehmet Oz, for everything from his grocery shopping to his lack of Pennsylvania roots.
Fetterman came out with another pointed campaign ad, this time attacking Oz for his long history of promoting quack treatments.
There isn't a miracle cure for being a total fraud, Fetterman said.
Oz has been criticized by fellow physicians since a study showed that more than half of his medical advice was incorrect.
A group of prominent doctors urged Columbia University's medical dean to remove Oz from the medical school's faculty, saying that he was guilty of either outrageous conflicts of interest or flawed judgements about what constitutes appropriate medical treatments.
The response to Fetterman's ad was very positive.
There are many reasons to vote against @DrOz, like that he's an out of touch fraud who lives inJersey, eats asparagus and tequila crudite and doesn't give a damn about you, but the number one reason for me is that he's a snake oil salesman who peddles fake cures for cash. https://t.co/eTHwmSftER

I was a low-Oz-information citizen. I vaguely knew he existed on daytime TV, but I had no idea this was the message he was delivering. Take a minute and watch this video. Oz would be bad medicine in the Senate.

had to understand how an obvious charlatan has a chance to become senator. If Oz were to be elected, it would be like rewarding deception.
