As Philadelphia passed its 300th homicide of the year, Mehmet Oz made a campaign stop in North Philadelphia to talk to pastors about violence in their communities.
The celebrity doctor visited Kensington, the center of the opioid epidemic, to introduce himself to people struggling with addiction. And he told Republicans at a barbecue in the Northeast that his opponent’s support for “sanctuary cities” would make them less safe.
It’s all part of an ongoing through-line in Oz’s campaign to direct rising fear over elevated crime toward his opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, and stress that Oz would be tougher on crime.
