Dr. Oz Accidentally Gives Fetterman An Awesome New Slogan As Insult Backfires [View all]

Looks like the Wizard made an ass of himself again:

Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz may have given Democratic rival John Fetterman yet another unintentional gift ― this time with a supposed insult that sounds more like a compliment, especially in Pennsylvania.

Fetterman, Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, often wears a hoodie ― something Oz seems to find unacceptable, albeit for a curious reason.

"When he dresses like that, it's not an accident," Oz said on the "Ruthless" podcast last week. "He's kicking authority in the balls. He's saying, 'I'm the man. I'll show those guys who's boss.'"....

Apparently he thinks that kicking authority in the balls and being the man and showing who's boss are bad things....
