'All you can do is talk about Bernie Sanders,' Democrat John Fetterman quipped to Republican Mehmet Oz during Tuesday's Pennsylvania Senate debate.
““Why don’t you pretend that you you live in Vermont instead of Pennsylvania and run against Bernie Sanders, because all you can do is talk about Bernie Sanders?””
“He believes we should socialize medicine,” Oz said of Fetterman. “He embraced this with Bernie Sanders, who he endorsed. The two candidates call themselves the two most progressive people in America. When you have socialized medicine, that is, you shut down the ability of people to get access to health care, doctors stop practicing, there are no medications available, the lines get wrong. It’s a disaster and it puts people at risk.
Fetterman then added: “You know what? Why don’t you pretend that you you live in Vermont instead of Pennsylvania and run against Bernie Sanders because all you can do is talk about Bernie Sanders,” a not-so-subtle reference to Oz’s home in New Jersey. Oz interjected that what Fetterman said was “dishonest” and began to say that he “explictly supported” socialized medicine before getting cut off by the debate moderators due to time constraints.
