Dr. Oz Mocked For 'Creepiest Political Pitch Ever' Ahead Of Pennsylvania GOP Senate Primary
Celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz drew mockery for his final appeal to voters ahead of Tuesday’s Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary.
The Donald Trump-endorsed Oz, facing stiff competition from right-wing commentator Kathy Barnette and retired hedge fund billionaire David McCormick to represent the GOP in November’s pivotal Senate election, imagined lying next to voters in bed.
“So, when you go to bed at night, put your head on that soft pillow, you’ll know Oz will be doing exactly what you want him to do if you were there next to him,” he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday.

Wait, does this mean Oz is in bed next to me? Because I don't find that thought remotely reassuring. https://t.co/AVKScEWzK2

I think Dr. Oz from New Jersey has finally realized that he's not going to become the next Senator from Pennsylvania, and now he's just trying to land the role of Freddy Krueger in the next Nightmare on Elm Street movie
