John Fetterman comes out swinging against flailing Mehmet Oz
Pygmalion designed the perfect partner — with a bit of help from Aphrodite. He created and crafted her, and then the Goddess of Love breathed life into her. It is said that Pygmalion and Galatea lived a happy life indeed.
Imagine if we could design the perfect political candidate. The perfect candidate — what would they look like? And yet we know perfection is impossible. Nobody is perfect. After all — the story of Pygmalion and Galatea is a Greek myth. Indeed that could not happen to us — in our current reality. Maybe not, but John Fetterman comes pretty damn close.
I must echo what I know so many of you have commented on. Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman is a gem. He is perhaps one of the best candidates we’ve ever had. His personality fits Pennsylvania to a tee, and he is quickly becoming absolutely adored.
In addition to Fettermans’ sunny optimism and quiet confidence, he has a mischievous streak that has gone full on against Mehemet Oz. Oz is the opposite of Fetterman. He is one of the worst candidates republicans have ever put forward, and I have a sneaking suspicion he just might be aware of that. One of the sneaky moves Oz has made is running in Pennsylvania even though he lives in New Jersey — and Fetterman hasn’t let that go for a minute.
Fetterman’s latest call-out of Oz is gloriously mischievous and perfect. “Hey, Dr. Oz. Welcome home to New Jersey.” This was the message in the sky at the Jersey Shore this weekend. It made many laugh. I’m sure Mehmet Oz isn’t laughing.
“Perfect, Senator Fetterman!” one Twitter user said. Just because perfection doesn’t exist doesn’t mean we haven’t come pretty damn close. The GOP is afraid of Fetterman, and they should be because Fetterman is running a great campaign.
Mehmet, meanwhile, is nowhere to be found. Still, that does not mean we can rest on our laurels. Oz will likely engage in dirty tricks. It’s up to us to help get Fetterman over the finish line. Won’t be so lovely in November to say, “Senator Fetterman?”
