Are you wondering why a citizen of Turkey with a mansion in New Jersey who is a medical doctor, TV celebrity, has hundreds of thousands of dollars and a family with extreme wealth would be pretending to be a resident of Pennsylvania to run for the U.S. Senate?
This is the same Dr. Oz who excitedly told his TV audience that there is a “miracle drug” that will cause a person to lose weight without effort or exercise. He is a doctor. I believed him and bought the miracle drug. I didn’t lose weight, had stomach cramps and didn’t like being ripped off. It was a scam. He promoted phony weight-loss drugs for months while increasing his viewership and popularity. He helped swindle millions of trusting people while dashing their hopes to lose weight.
Elected officials need to protect citizens from fraud and not be a part of it. He is pompously arrogant with lots of fancy talk. He could run for political office in Turkey or New Jersey. He is not a Pennsylvanian.
Dr. Oz encourages word of mouth testimonials and this is mine.
