A Loyal Trumpie

Mehmet Oz, Republican candidate and Trump endorsee for the Pennsylvania Senate seat that will open upon Pat Toomey's retirement, has as little grace as The Donald. Oz appears to have adopted Trump's practice of using open-ended and factually unfounded insults as substitutes for real debating points.

Even a long-lapsed Catholic like myself is offended by Oz's hypocrisy. He had the temerity to use a gathering of Christians to do a categorically un-Christian thing – ridicule an opponent. As bad if not worse, Oz seemed to assume that his audience were deaf to his distortions of the teachings of the New Testament. Certainly, he seemed unaware of passages like Matthew 20:19, Mark 10:34, and Luke 18:32.

Oz's TV ads have him proclaiming himself as 100% pro-life. One must assume that's another part of his effort to attract the votes of Christian conservatives. No problem there. But belittling John Fetterman as part of thar effort makes Oz appear decidedly debased. Like his mentor Trump, it seems Oz will do or say anything to gain or retain power.
