Dr. Oz is booed at Pennsylvania MAGA rally as Trump introduces him

If attendees at the latest Save America rally are any indicator, former President Donald Trump’s stellar record this primary season will be put to the test in Pennsylvania as one endorsee’s reception was, at best, mixed.

During Friday’s rain-soaked event in Greensburg, PA, Trump stood firm to his endorsement of surgeon and television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz while trying to present the tight race for the Pennsylvania Republican Senate nomination as a head-to-head matchup against businessman David McCormick. However, attendees seemed less than receptive to the president’s favorable opinion of Oz.

“Right here in Pennsylvania,” Trump said of the returning to the prosperity America had known for prior to the disastrous policies of President Joe Biden, “that starts with nominating the man who has by far the best chance to win Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race this fall, my friend Dr. Mehmet Oz. He’s a great man, Dr. Oz.”

Despite repeated jeering from the crowd, Trump pressed on with his defense of Oz as he argued against McCormick, “Dr. Oz is running against the liberal Wall Street Republican named David McCormack who I’ve known.”

“But he’s taken a lot of horrible, unfair and untrue shots,” Trump stated, alluding to Oz’s questionable positions on abortion, usage of Chinese manufacturing over American, and his refusal to renounce his dual citizenship with Turkey. “You know, they’re spending millions and millions. This is Wall Street. People have plenty of money. Plenty of money. They’re spending millions of dollars and treating them very unfairly.”

Trump also expressed his strong opposition to McCormick for efforts to obtain an endorsement, “In all fairness, and I will say this, he fought hard for it. He wanted it – he hired almost every person that worked anywhere, if anybody was within 200 miles of me, he hired them.”

The president noted at the rally that he was 55-0 thus far with his endorsements, but he could not get behind McCormick, “He did want my endorsement very badly, but I just couldn’t do it.”

“Dr. Oz has led an enormously successful career on television and now he’s running to save our country – just like I do – from the radical left lunatics and maniacs,” the president went on in his endorsement. “Dr. Oz is a man who truly believes in Make America Great Again or the MAGA movement. He believes it 100 percent and he is in love with our country.”

The Daily Mail reported on speaking to attendees of the rally. Amy, 53, had arrived at the event at 8:00 a.m. and said in anticipation, “Dr. Oz is gonna get booed out of here,” adding, “He’s not from the state, that’s my thing.”

“I honestly don’t know anything about him. Heard he doesn’t even live here,” 24-year-old Nick told the Daily Mail.

“We’ll see what else he comes out with,” 38-year-old Kate said after expressing she was “still on the fence,” and adding, “Trump’s support put him on the radar, but I’m not sold.”

Lynn Johnson, 55, from Ligonier, PA told Business Insider, “I just want somebody from Pennsylvania, someone who actually grew up here.”

With the primary election less than two weeks out, no mention was made of other contenders like Jeff Bartos, former ambassador Carla Sands, or conservative Kathy Barnette who maintained a statistical tie for first place with Oz and McCormick in a recent poll.

  1. Go find somewhere else to peddle your spam bullshit because we are all tired of looking at it!

  2. People had similar reservations about Trump when he ran for President. Let’s hope that if Oz is elected, he will prove to be a worthy addition. We can only hope and pray.

    1. I think anybody with a MD after their name belongs in the medical profession helping others, not on TV or radio helping themselves. I’m sure Oz has done some good for some people, but is he qualified for politics? Having read at least something about each of the candidates, Barnette will get my vote.

      1. If I lived in Pennsylvania Barnett would get my vote as well! I wish Trump had endorsed her instead of Oz the rhino

  3. First I want to be clear, I think President Trump was one of our best leaders in the White House. I was not a big fan before he completed his first two years in office. That’s when I saw just how well he ran things. Like everyone else who heard him speak to the media, I sometimes cringed at his reply. lol. But I remembered that I voted for him to make decisions. Not to make everyone like him. As is often the case with great leaders, they don’t set out to be liked by everyone. So yes I am a President Trump fan, I voted for him twice and I will again if he decides to run.
    So getting to Dr. Oz, I am having a hard time with this guy. I keep seeing him kissing Oprah’s big fat butt. It’s a mental picture I can’t shake. I have to ask myself what does Trump see in this guy? I truthfully don’t have a dog in the fight. I just want to see a Republican candidate win Pennsylvania. I don’t live there anymore, but I was born and raised in Philly. I went to St.Francis De Sales grade school and we moved to Levittown, PA. I am in Delaware now and ironically I live in the same neighborhood as Joe and Jill in Wilmington. We’ve been neighbors for 35+ years. Same grocery store, church, etc., I used to like him personally. I never followed his politics because I didn’t follow politics at all. I started paying more attention when I retired. Biden has been a real embarrassment to the country. Everyone knows it. Some just refuse to admit it, …in public that is. I hope we end up with both houses in the midterms. Then in 2024….we can start putting the country back together. We must never forget how hateful the left has been.

    1. I do live in Pennsylvania and I am 100% in agreement with everything you stated.

  4. I sent Kathy money. Sorry DJT, I suspect you’re about to ruin your perfect score.

  5. Dr. Oz, seems like a liberal to me. Why Trump would endorse him is a mystery to me. Aren’t there better choices in Pennsylvania?

    1. His connections to “Hollywood” and/or Oprah concern me. I refer to the old saying “birds of a feather stick together.”

    2. Kathy Barnett is my choice but unfortunately I live in Delaware. She is the person President Trump should have endorsed instead of that rhino POS paws because he is not a true love America Republican by any means
