Dr. Mehmet Oz is being widely rebuked after the Republican candidate's campaign for Pennsylvania's open U.S. Senate seat said that his Democratic opponent Lt. Gov. John Fetterman would not have suffered a stroke earlier this year if he "had ever eaten a vegetable in his life."
In a statement released early Wednesday, Fetterman's team said the comment from the Oz's senior communications adviser Rachel Tripp was an "unhinged" and "nasty" thing to say even during a high-stakes political race, in addition to being "irresponsible" coming from a physician who should know better.
