Candidate hosts town hall style forum with invited guests, supporters.
Dr. Oz campaigns for Pennsylvania Senate seat in HersheyDr. Mehmet Oz, the surgeon-turned-daytime television star who is now running for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat, brought his campaign to Hershey Wednesday, and it’s a bit of a trip into America’s culture wars.
In true TV host form, Oz was more likely to pull up a chair next to a COVID survivor, or wrap his arms around the young girl with Down Syndrome who asked him if he would support legislation that guaranteed people with disabilities equal access to organ transplants and other levels of critical care. The doctor, naturally, was on board.
He shared his personal story, and then how he came to be a political candidate: The government’s top-down and heavy-handed approach to the coronavirus pandemic, he said, helped him see government through a new lens, and the view suggested that the government / media approach to many aspects of society leads to less-than-desired outcomes.
“And that was the beginning of a long cascade of events where the federal government began to move doctors out of the way and directly care for patients.... We were told, don’t make things difficult. Just follow orders.” Oz likened it to a Marxist ideology that runs the risk of replacing American individualism and enterprise. Conservatives like him and his supporters, he said, can push back effectively by communicating their views and sticking together.
