The doctors are back!
Friends, tonight's TRUTH BOMB about Mehmet Oz is here.
Tonight's theme: how incredibly out of touch can one guy actually be?
Danger of a super rich guy who doesn't live in PA pretending otherwise.
A thread.

Oz is from PA, huh? So he says. Really he lives in a Cliffside, NJ mansion.
His wife's family lives in Huntingdon Valley PA; so he used that for his Senate run paperwork.
Only problem? He spelled it wrong! The name of his "hometown". Which really isn't. Obviously.

Then, a classic - Oz trying to be a man of Philly. Posing with a cheesesteak.
Philly wasn't buying it, not a bit.
Problem 1: Pat's and Gino's are fine, but mostly for tourists.
Problem 2: Even the Pat's guys (bless them) thought it was ridiculous and shamed Ozzy pants.

#oz really isn't one of us in PA.
He talked about PA being a coastal state -
thing is: IT ISN'T. New Jersey, on the other hand, is.
See how that works? If you're from NJ, you drop this poker tell.
He's out of touch & lying about his PA home.

Oz shoots grocery store video:
1. he can't get the name right - there is no "Wegners"
2. he moves around so awkwardly, it's clear he doesn't shop
3. he calls veggie selection "crudité" - a fancy french word that NO ONE USES.
out of touch!

don't trust us about how incredibly awful his video is? Here it is, in all it's-rich-man-condescending-to-common-people vibe:

now for dark turn in the "out of touch" files of Mehmet.
He spoke at a museum. His backdrop? Literally HITLER'S CAR. With a nazi flag.
Nothing says "I don't care" like posing with nazi stuff.
Clueless and out of touch. And offensive.

Tell me you live in New Jersey without telling me you live in New Jersey.
Oz actually shot a campaign video for PENNSYLVANIA from his NEW JERSEY MANSION where he actually lives.
What kind of idiots does he think Pennsylvanians are?

Now you might say: c'mon docs, so he's an awkward rich dude with a crappy campaign team, what's the big deal?
Here's why it matters: it speaks to WHO HE IS. And how he will work as a Senator.
Senators are supposed to represent us.
Evidence is: he clearly won't.

Why do we doctors care?
Because he won't care about our patients. He won't protect them.
He made THIS ridiculous rich guy remark insulting the poor - we docs don't even know he MEANS - "festival like setting"??. It's whack - and harmful.

we are going to defend healthcare, and defend our patients.
And if we have to drop the truth every darn night to do it, then....
SO BE IT.

I sure wish our political hero @JamesCarville would see our threads
physicians are more involved in this contest than any prior US elections
seems like doctors energized to speak out against a "doctor" candidate is an important story
@stoviame
doctors have a lot to say about Mehmet Oz - over a million views of our well-sourced tweet threads
