Mehmet Oz gave a speech on Thursday night and it is causing an internet furor. He gave it near the car that once belonged to Hitler, but not for what he said in the speech. The speech was given at a $5,000-a-plate event at the Lyon Air Museum in Santa Ana, California, hosted by Rep. Matt Gaetz's in-laws. Oz probably didn't know that the place where he spoke was next to a car with a swastika on it. The Mercedes-Benz G4 touring wagon that was used by Hitler in Ober Salzberg, Berlin and Poland until it was seized by the French Army at Berchtesgaden is known as the "Nazimobile." Even though the car is a historical artifact, it is not a good idea for American political candidates to create situations where their name can appear in the same sentence as Hitler. Users on the micro-blogging site had thoughts. There are a lot of thoughts.
The date is October 7, 2022.
Dr. Oz began the week with a story about him killing puppies, and now is ending it standing in front of Hitler's car.
Truly a landmark in the history of U.S. Senate campaigns https://t.co/GGAM05LeUN

Matt Gaetz' in-laws hosted a high-dollar fundraiser for Dr. Oz at a museum last night in which Oz stood in front of one of Hitler's cars, which showed up in the social media photos. Also, incel king Jordan Peterson joined by Zoom.
