With Dr. Mehmet Oz throwing his hat in the Senate race, I ask myself, why not? In recent elections, we have had a diversity of candidates. Hey, we have a caterer as a coroner in Westmoreland County. Caitlyn Jenner is running for governor of California, a position formerly held by Mr. Muscle, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kanye West was a presidential wannabe, as was a contestant from “Shark Tank.”
So he’s not a Pennsylvania resident; the wealthy celebrities hide their money in foreign banks all the time and some people condone that.
I’m not saying whether I support Dr. Oz or not, but in a nation of unity and diversity, let’s not be critics until we examine his stand. Who knows, by breaking the good ol’ boys’ political regime, we may find the middle class finally represented.
