In a video that has taken the internet by storm, an out-of-touch Republican candidate better known as ‘TV personality’ Dr. Oz wanders around a grocery store (and he gets the name wrong) to try and emphasize how inflation has made even buying veggies — which he calls crudité — too expensive.
“Guys, that’s $20 for crudité, and this doesn’t include the tequila,” says Dr. Oz in the video, originally posted in April. “I mean that’s outrageous! We got Joe Biden to thank for this.”
Democratic candidate and current Lieutenant Gov. John Fetterman pounced, tweeting, “In PA we call this a…veggie tray.”
Not one to let an opportunity like this pass, Fetterman then offered a ‘limited edition sticker for anyone who donated to his campaign. The sticker shows the word “Wegners” in a font similar to Wegmans, along with the motto “let them eat crudité.”
It raised a ton of lettuce — over $500,000 so far.
With one video, Oz showed how out of touch he is with the state he is supposed to represent and doesn’t even live in.
