In an interview with Fox News Digital, Dr. Mehmet Oz said his "diagnosis" for the rising crime in Pennsylvania placed blame squarely on Democrat John Fetterman's lax attitude toward crime.

"We've normalized thoughtless, destructive criminal acts. The question you ask in the morning is how many homicides happened last night? It's not, was there a murder? It's crazy that it's become that commonplace. And the lawlessness – and that's what this is about – is like a cancer," he said.
For his sharp approach to crime that has skyrocketed in cities like Philadelphia, which saw a shooting of four high school students on Tuesday, Oz was endorsed by the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police. Furthering what he said in his Monday speech to the group when accepting the endorsement, Oz told Fox New Digital that crime rates were continuing to grow because there weren't enough police to tackle the issue.
