God, no! Keep that quack where he currently is. We don’t want him in PA!
He’s a quack, a so-called physician, known for promoting alternative medicine and for endorsing hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19, an idiotic suggestion also promoted by another idiot/self-promoter/con artist/president (2017-2021). He will fit in great with the current Republican party: truth deniers, vaccine deniers, insurrection deniers, and those willing to give a pat on the back to the likes of Gosar, Boebert, Gaetz, and Taylor Greene, among so many deplorable others. And, yes, “deplorable” was the appropriate term all along…
James…RIGHT ON MY BROTHER!!!!! To me, the only thing that that CLOWN promotes and endorses is HIMSELF…VERY, VERY BADLY!!!!!
Happy Holidays, Brother.
Thank you for your reply, jaybird369! Happy Holidays to you as well!
Oh, jamesj75, this man is a JOKE. Don’t you love when he proffers a new “lifesaving product” (which he undoubtedly gets big kickbacks from) …. “right after this message.” Wow! Must really be important if it has to wait for a commercial! And he’s also against vaccination mandates and masks. Glad I don’t live in a state where he’d even make the ballot.
Thank you for your reply, Soaphound! When any legitimacy is afforded to quacks, frauds, and would-be dictators, there is a problem…
Unqualified quack
He is a scammer peddling all these useless medical and health claims.
He has lived on a huge compound in NJ for 3 or more decades. Continued scamming….
What a quack! He’s a anti-vaxxer and will likely turn into another Trump, which we don’t need. Keep him away from politics.
A TV quack who appeared on Faux Fox and downplayed covid now wants to be in politics. Oh, goody. Maybe one day he can run for President and the Pillow Guy can be his VP. Sounds about right for the GOP. Another con artist, power-hungry fool. Trump opened up the door to the dregs of society.
Rebecca 1…What gets me is how a person who had good medical credentials in the past could go over to the dark side with some of his opinions. Plus he has a lot of money to fund himself. If there is any consolation (and not any from me) there should be lots of competition from other “Republicans” wanting the open senate seat.
And the quack had been living on NJ for 30 years? I don’t get it?
Trump didn’t open that door, he just made it a little wider. The first celebrity president – turned right wing extremist reactionary – was a former “B” movie actor named Ronald Wilson Reagan. And no, despite the number of letters in each of his names, he was NOT my son!!
The ting with Oz, is–
He is a dangerous quack. He cons people into buying his junk cures.
Bing a quack selling his junk is equal to a grifter a con.
He makes money off of gullible people.
He is a self-serving arsehole.
A great many people are wise of him.
But- in these days in politics, being on the
the dark side of honorable is the in thing, sigh.
Will Oprah endorse him?
IS THAT QUACK CRAZY?!?!? It’s bad enough that that ANNOYING BLOWHARD has his own talk show. And now he wants his own Senate Seat?!?!? NO, NO AND MORE NO!!!!! Keep that man away from politics…PERIOD!!!!! BEYOND BLECH!!!!!
jaybird369
I’ve felt that way for years, probably unjustly so about Dr. Phil whom Oprah also endorsed, setting him on his way. Just could never believe he’s all that.
