You can't pass the blame constantly to Trump. Biden pulled out the troops out of Afghanistan in a chaotic way, causing Afghanistan to collapse and become a Taliban terror haven. Simple as that.

Where does she work? At a large NY HOSPITAL. Well, Dr. Oz, when even your professional peers are laughing at you, it is BAD.
Quite the anecdotal experience, especially at a hospital since he’s a renowned surgeon.

Consider that when John Fetterman had his stroke, it opened a golden opportunity for Dr. Mehmet Oz. Dr. Oz had the entire state of Pennsylvania exclusively to himself for campaigning. He could have been barnstorming across the state, meeting voters, shaking hands, talking issues with the common man, and even kissing a baby or two for some photo ops. Oz would also have been indirectly making the point that Fetterman wasn't around to campaign himself.

Instead, it appears that Dr. Oz went on vacation, to Palms Springs and to Ireland, much to the chagrin of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and former President Donald Trump. When Oz finally got back onto the campaign trail, he came across (as mocked by Fetterman's twitter account) as a tourist visiting the sites. That had to be especially galling to Trump. Say what you will about the man, but Trump knows how to campaign.

So yeah, Dr. Oz is coming across as either disinterested or as incompetent.

I don't have any issue with that, kudos to him for that interesting fact!

What I do have an issue with is that I read somewhere that Dr. Oz has stated that he'll renounce his Turkish citizenship if he's elected the US Senator from Pennsylvania.

Why wait? Why doesn't Dr. Oz renounce his foreign citizenship beforehand?

Finally found an explanation for Dr. Oz's offer to renounce his Turkish citizenship, but only if he's elected to the Senate. He made the statement during the Republican primaries. It appears his Republican opponents were scoring with the Nativist section of the party base by pointing out Oz's "foreignness", which seems strange, because Oz is American born and spent his entire life and career in the United States.

Dr. Oz offered to conditionally renounce his Turkish citizenship in a move to pander to the White Nationalists in the Pennsylvania GOP.

Does this mean that you're perfectly fine with politicians who pander to far right White Nationalists who are now making up a significant part of the core of the GOP?
