“He’s kicking authority in the balls. He’s saying, ‘I’m the man. I’ll show those guys who’s boss.’” tweeted Dr. Oz, oblivious to the fact he was helping his opponent.

Yet another unforced error from the campaign of Mehmet Oz. They thought they were ridiculing the 6'8" goatee and hoodie-wearing Fetterman but instead forgot to notice the "cool factor" of having someone who doesn't look anything like all the other U.S. Senators now in office.

Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz may have given Democratic rival John Fetterman yet another unintentional gift ― this time with a supposed insult that sounds more like a compliment, especially in Pennsylvania.

Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, often wears a hoodie ― something Oz seems to find unacceptable, albeit for a curious reason.

“When he dresses like that, it’s not an accident,” Oz said on the “Ruthless” podcast last week. “He’s kicking authority in the balls. He’s saying, ‘I’m the man. I’ll show those guys who’s boss.’”

The comments were shared on Twitter by PatriotTakes, which monitors right-wing media:

Noticed by Parker Malloy and many others, but she also came up with the graphic now used by the Fetterman campaign.

And kindly h/t by Fetterman.
