I'm not sure why you're hanging this on white nationalists. The people who I've heard criticize Oz for being an outsider (a resident of New Jersey, a Turkish citizen, etc.) have been Democrats and liberals. You've even done it here yourself. Do you have any evidence of these white nationalists you speak of saying these things?

Did you read the thread.

I wouldn't blame you if you hadn't.

It's been shifted into a debate over the word 'significant', from a point made about how Dr. Oz pledged during the GOP primary debates to renounce his Turkish citizenship, but only if he's elected to the US Senate, reeks of pandering to nativists/white nationalists in the Pennsylvania GOP electorate.

As far as I'm concerned, this thread is pretty much over. Dr. Oz might somehow pull himself out of the hole he's dug for himself, but I doubt it. And no one has talked about the PA governor race for quite some time in this thread.

Like I said, the thread has now become about something other than the Pennsylvania governor and senate races.

And you made it that way by making a false claim about the core of the GOP being white nationalists without being able to prove it, because you don’t like Oz.

Of both candidates, Mastriano is far more extreme than Oz. Putting aside Mastriano's out of mainstream social views, he has said he will appoint an AG who will overturn election results! Fraud!!!! Trump won PA!

As far as Oz goes besides the issues of carpetbagger and especially dual citizenship, I would never vote for somebody endorsed by "The Donald" as a Native New York Woman, of his generation, who actually MET Trump when we were younger.

I can agree that Trump is not prejudiced against Jews, or most likely against Blacks, or Gays, but is for Hispanics. This is my anecdotal story, erieguy, about my meeting Trump. "No Spics (derogatory word) will ever live in my buildings". He was not speaking about illegal Mexicans crossing the border, but US CITIZEN Puerto Ricans coming in a wave to NYC back then. Go rent the movie West Side Story if you want to learn about that.

Edit: Trump himself seems to be regretting endorsing Oz. Maybe he should have endorsed McCormick instead? He just went with another TV celebrity instead.

You’re pulling the D lever no matter who the candidate is, and it’s funny how you deflect to because Trump and calling him racist when Sleepy Joe has been a racist all his life…and let’s not forget the hypocrisy of you defending poor Hillary who was a carpet bagger, but complain that Oz is one.

What? You're not even going to use the word 'significant' anymore? You're just dragging this thread even more off topic.

I don't give a flip about the man holding dual citizenships. Having Turkish citizenship as well as US citizenship doesn't preclude him from holding the office of Senator. My issue is that Dr. Oz, during the GOP primary, promised to renounce his Turkish citizenship but only if he was elected to the US Senate. As he claimed he was holding onto the foreign citizenship supposedly for his mother, who has Alzheimer's, it seems like a move to pander to those in the GOP electorate who would have an issue with his ethnicity. Significantly.

Lol. I’ve already addressed that 1000 is nowhere near significant compared to how many Republicans there are…and as far as the thread, you continue to comment. Don’t like it don’t comment, or simply prove your claims. So simple
