Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
I understand that someone named Dr. Mehmet Oz is running for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania – though he apparently wasn’t a Pennsylvanian until five minutes ago – and this raises several questions, like “Who is this person?”, “Why should this person be a senator instead of, say, some Amish rando from Chambersburg?”, and, most importantly, “Why is this person running as a Republican?”
He is apparently a TV reality guy, and I guess he looked at Trump and thought, “Well, he was on TV and he did it, so why not?” But “Why not” is not a great reason for someone to run for a Senate seat we Republicans need. And Dr. Oz is a Republican like Brian Stelter, who is a potato, is a Chippendales dancer.
Let’s review his track record, with a special thanks to conservative muckraker Jack Posobiec, who has done great work gathering the receipts.
Dr. Oz is a fan of gun control and adores red flag laws.
Dr. Oz parroted the racist trash spewed by Black Lives Matter, instead of expressing the proper position that this crew of communist scumbags is total garbage.
He also tolerates the mommy Munchausens behind the kiddie trans madness.
Oh, and he’s squishy on abortion (go to 24:50).
So, in what way is this Oprah acolyte who has faithfully hewed to the liberal narrative a “conservative?” He’s not. He’s a squish, at best, with no track record of conservatism and with no discernible conservative views whatsoever. In the off chance he gets elected, he would make Mitt Romney seem like Lauren Boebert.
Hey, if he wins the primary, I’d support him over any Democrat. But he should not win the primary.
So, what is he doing about his problem, which is that he’s a liberal Democrat from out of state running as a based PA conservative Republican? What any good vanity candidate does. He is spending money to convince the suckers not to believe their lying eyes! That means retaining consultants, many, many consultants, each one more of a hack than the next.
He has managed to hire the worst consultants on Earth. As a result, his terrible Twitter account pumps out cheesy versions of what people who hate the Trumpian base think the Trumpian base is eager to hear: “Washington elites want to control your life. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to put YOU back in control.” I can just see these geniuses sitting around a table, saying “You know what the focus groups tell us those hillbillies hate? Washington elites. Let’s go with that!”
And what the hell do we make of this word succotash? “I will work to bridge the gap between the Left and the Right and focus on bringing results. Let’s make America healthy again!” Can someone translate that from Consultant into English? We’re one step away from him tweeting, “Let’s reach across the aisle to work together to bring a brighter tomorrow for the children!” Sheesh.
But the most hilarious hackery comes when his courtiers take a page from some old 2005 issue of the pre-sunk Weekly Standard to generate cliché derby champions like this: “I’m here to promise you one thing: I am going to help reignite the divine spark inside every American and empower us to live better lives.”
Yo Doc, we’re looking for people to ignite the establishment and the institutions, not our souls. Eighty-six all your consultants, get your money back, ignite it, and you’ll be better off.
It is not clear whether this guy is a Manchurian Candidate, a lib in cons’ clothing who wants to get into office and make trouble for Mitch McConnell, or whether he’s just an egomaniac who thinks that because a bunch of Chardonnay moms and lonely shut-ins watch his TV show that he’s got a unique and special vision that he simply must share with America.
Either way, this guy has no business repping our party. I am not sure who does among the candidates, since Sean Parnell had to withdraw to support his family after a custody battle and being slimed (including by jealous Republicans). But we need to reject dilettantes and posers. We need committed conservatives who don’t have the threat of cancellation in the back of their minds when they go to do battle with the left. We do not need a consultant-constructed simulacrum of a conservative who spews meaningless mush because he’s so used to the mindless masses who watch his TV show that he thinks everyone out there is as dumb as his audience is.
His dalliance with gun control disqualifies him. His kiddie trans toleration disqualifies him. His abortion openness disqualifies him. His CRT tolerance disqualifies him.
He’s disqualified. Period. Next!
Fortunately, Dr. Oz is unlikely to fool the kind of hardcore voters any winning Republican will need in PA. I unscientifically polled the question “Should I write my Thursday column on how terrible @DrOz appears to be?” and “What is a Dr. Oz?” got 14.2%. “Yes, he’s a RINO plant” and “Yes but diss Stelter [Potato Emoji] too” got a total of 82.8%. “No, he’s conservative” got just 3%. Those are not good numbers for this pseudo-conservative, and hopefully the wise voters of my family homeland, the Keystone State, will reject this carpetbagging fraud. We need the real deal right now, not vanity runs.

RINO, at best.
Not even that. He’s a plant.
How does one still differentiate a RINO from a True Republican?
Is it that he turns on heritage Americans BEFORE he gets elected?
Is it when his lesbian daughter adopts an african baby and then he lectures us about how our family values are ‘hateful’?
Is it when he talks of the spigot of mexican invaders that has been wide open for decades as an opportunity for a ‘conversation about common sense immigration reform’ – or that ‘hispanics’ are ‘natural conservatives’ and the future of the party is brown tranny? Or without 30MM ‘undocumented workers’ we would have $10 heads of lettuce – or worse, crops rotting in the fields!?
Is it when he talks about a certain ethnostate and their right to exist hinging on our moral duty to sell them weapons and send our young boys to fight for democracy while their own hometowns are being economically gutted by globo commerce and cheap labor invaders, socially gutted by tyrannical fedgov social engineering, spiritually gutted by forced diversity, equality and inclusion, and physically ruined by big pharma opiates and mexican cartel death pills?
Is it when he talks about “unemployment” as some distant metric of The Economy while instituting policies that even a dim state U econ 101 student could tell you looks a lot like gas on the dumpster fire of the biggest debt bubble in human history masquerading as ‘economic growth’?
Or is it when he is asked about the precipitous decline in our standard of living and replies that stonks are at all time highs?
Is it when he joins his ‘colleagues across the isle’ to eviscerate the small-business backbone of small-town American because of a cold virus?
Or is it when he puffs his self-regard by handing out hot ashes of fedbucks until finally the dignity of work itself is is in the dustbin of history alongside quaint things like free speech, free association, and the entire history of who we are as a nation that has not been approved by Howard Zinn and The NYT?
Or is it when he supports the dehumanizing technocratic-fedgov cartel in their ongoing efforts to track ,monitor, control us in the name of Progress?
Perhaps it is when he rattles his sabre over Russia! and Ukraine while actual communists and fascists run the entirety of the administrative state and our institutions? Or is it now failing to rattle his sabre?
Is a RINO for or against preserving Southern Heritage and history as an essential part of Our History? What about melting monuments into plowshares of black Progress?
So confusing.
I remember in the before times when Orange Man Bad mentioned a few of these things. And the Republicans pissed themselves. That’s how a lot of normal people discovered the Uniparty. But that was then. Now The Republican Party totally has our back. Especially when it comes to ‘election reform’ so that we will never again see our “votes” become part of the Most Popular President Ever.
Man we live in confusing times. Here I thought I was just a racist. But turns out I am even worse: a yesterday man. I can remember the ’80’s. And every decade since. When we perform the same elaborate media ritual of party politics over and over – and yet here we are. Its morning in America comrade! Here is to 103% voter turnout as we show those RINO’s who is really in charge.
Phooey on our current military. I cannot figure out why any young person would choose a career in our military. Chew ’em up and spit ’em out. Lost a leg! TOO BAD! Perhaps Wounded Warriors or DAV can help you. Our government is rapidly becoming one of the worst here on the third rock from the sun.
And a muslim.
Not sure how that is at all relevant I don’t like his support of gender reassignment though AT ALL
mohammedan —NOT GOOD
Oz or Schlicter?
Neither.
You haven’t looked at some of the jewels we already have in out Republican ranks, lately? Have you?
We got a guy by the screen name Pierre Delecto. I tell yah, he’s a basket case, alright.
“Hey, if he wins the primary, I’d support him over any Democrat.”
This is the exact recipe for sustaining a centralized duopoly.
Not a creepy face for a 61 year old man at all. Perfectly natural looking hair.
He has a kind of satanic look, does he not?
Like a comic book villain.
Reminds me of the head vampire Max from The Lost Boys.
“We have it all! The best selection of video tapes in Santa Carla!!!”
I made sure to look for your comment before I said anything.
Yep, probably got a lock on the Chardonnay-besotted, shutin, keystone state moms and karens. Oh but he’s qualified you know because he’s so “sensitive” on those shows.
He’s a Trojan horse.
The Dr. was tired of offering bad advice that was getting seniors killed. He saw how easy it was to be really stupid and be a politician.
Dr. Oz …. what a perfect name for his assklown …. no heart, no brain, no courage.
Oprah is behind it.
And Obama is right behind Oprah.
And Big Mike is behind…
…never mind. You all know already.
Who bent over first?
It’s all a moot point. With Filthadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Dominion R’s no longer win statewide elections in PA.
He’s a Muslim.
Lots of very good people are too fool
No such thing as a good mohammedan exists.
Many people are too fool
If you run Democrats on the Republican party you can’t lose, that’s why! Virginia anyone?
Money and willing to follow the orders of leaders of the world
It does not matter who the republican party puts on the ballot, the Philly votes will far outnumber all of the republican votes and that will happen whether anyone shows up to vote or not.
not to mention the machines.
He’s also a card carrying member of the Covid cult and thinks the vaccines are a miracle.
So he’s basically just another New World Order whore trying to con stupid people into voting for him.
Manchurian (Pennsylvania) Candidate.
He needs a blonde wig, a dress and a string of pearls to fit in PA government. 🙂
He’s already had enough plastic surgery to pull it off as a trans, with the right makeup, he could be a contender.
Shameful that this clown is running for a position of power under the republican banner. Hopefully the voters in Penn have the wherewithal to see through the smoke and mirrors. Oz will become a Romney, only worse.
Hope Rand Paul speaks up and calls him out.
You know how to dig KaD.
What Mark said.
KaD keeps me informed daily. 🙂
The Republican Party, while it often spouts slogans relating to ‘free enterprise’ and ‘individual liberty’, is basically a 170 year old conspiracy on the part of industrialists and financiers to centralize the the USA’s economy and rob the country blind. The Party has no actual core principles which it would dare to speak publicly.
Unfortunately, today’s Democrats have become the same… only worse.
Take your pick, o vaunted Doctor Oz.
Go back to Turkey
On a positive note, at least you know he’s a grifter going in.
NO, No, No, No!!!
You are completely wrong!
I know, because Sean Hannity endorsed Dr. Oz on his program the other day.
And, if we can’t trust Sean Hannity to lead us back to greatness, then we are all lost…aren’t we?
