Dr. Oz dishes on senate bid: 'Values under attack,' COVID response turned into 'authoritarianism'
Fox News
Cardiothoracic surgeon and well-known television host Dr. Mehmet Oz announced his candidacy for United States Senate in Pennsylvania.
Oz told "Hannity" that as the son of Turkish immigrants who was afforded "unparalleled opportunities" by the United States to become the successful doctor and television personality that he is, "it is time to repay my debt."
"America is in crisis, that’s not news, our values are under attack – so I want to serve America in its time of need," said Oz, adding that Pennsylvanians deserve better solutions to crises from their elected leaders than they are currently afforded.
Oz spoke about his medical expertise and how he recognized that the now long-surpassed "two weeks to stop the spread" socioeconomic restriction period placed on Pennsylvanians and many other Americans turned out to be much more complicated and worse for the people.
