Oz slams Fetterman for 'head fake' debate offer | Washington Examiner . . ."Following weeks of intensifying pressure on Fetterman to debate Oz, the lieutenant governor finally relented this week and loosely committed to a showdown with the celebrity doctor despite his stroke-induced ailments. Oz had ramped up pressure on Fetterman to appear opposite him in a public forum, but he was left despondent with the debate offer.
" 'There is no John Fetterman debate offer. Debates have to be held at a specific time, a specific place. They have to have a host; you got to have a TV station. We don't have any of these details," Oz countered during an interview with Fox News's Harris Faulkner on Friday. "He just dropped his head fake idea that 'yeah, of course I'll do a debate.'"
"Oz and Fetterman are embroiled in one of the hottest Senate races in the country that could determine the balance of power in the evenly split upper chamber. Days before Fetterman clinched the Democratic nod for outgoing Sen. Pat Toomey's (R) Senate seat, the lieutenant governor suffered a stroke that nearly killed him.
"Fetterman stayed out of the political spotlight until August as he recovered. While he has insisted his "health now is robust," he has conceded that he "might miss a word every now and then or I might mush two words together," which has made his allies uneasy about a debate.". . .
He mocks Dr. Oz for coming from New Jersey, for how many homes he owns, and for daring to describe a vegetable platter as “crudités.”
"Even during his rare campaign events, the Fetterman campaign can’t get enough of mocking his Republican challenger. Over the weekend, Fetterman campaign staffers even dressed up in broccoli costumes. Because when your entire campaign consists of mocking “crudités,” you put your dignity aside and get up like a vegetable.
"Fetterman plays the tough guy on Twitter. But the moment the Oz campaign hits back, he simpers like a thin-skinned toddler and whines, “No FAIR!!!!!” . . .
