Dr. Oz hits Fetterman for requiring computer to understand reporter’s questions, not being transparent on health

Blaze:

Pennsylvania Republican Senate nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz reacted to the interview his opponent Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) gave to NBC News this week, which raised questions about Fetterman’s health.

Fetterman, who suffered from a life-threatening stroke last May, struggled to speak and required a closed-captioning device to understand questions from NBC News reporter Dasha Burns in an interview that aired on Tuesday. Burns and NBC News observed that Fetterman had difficulty understanding her questions, which stoked outrage on social media from Fetterman’s supporters, who accused the network of misrepresenting his health.

Oz, a celebrity doctor and television host, was asked about the computer device Fetterman used by Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Thursday.

“It’s called closed-captioning, as you know, it’s actually what he’s requested in the only debate he’s granted me, which would be in two weeks, so it’s getting towards the end here. But finally I’m going to be able to talk to him,” Oz said. more
