Last weekend, when President Trump announced his endorsement of Dr. Mehmet Oz’s campaign in the Pennsylvania race for Senator, the conservative world gasped in shock. Had Trump made a really bad call? On Townhall, John and Andy Schlafly (sons of the late great Phyllis Schlafly), explain why Trump’s endorsement is sheer “wizardry” -- and one does have to dive into the local politics to understand:
Pro-China Dave McCormick currently
holds a narrow lead in the polls for the open U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
. . . As Philadelphia just became the first major city to reinstate a
mask-wearing requirement indoors, McCormick’s deep ties to the
communist country that brought us Covid are unhelpful.
. . .
His rival, Dr. Mehmet Oz, spoke out
strongly against mask and vaccine mandates last year, and two years ago Oz
helped save lives by promoting hydroxychloroquine. Dr. Oz received a backlash
from liberal public health authorities but courageously spoke the truth they
suppressed.
. . .
Dr. Oz is almost alone among
physician politicians opposing Fauci’s fake science. Last December, Dr.
Oz stated that “Dr. Anthony Fauci has lost the faith and confidence of the
American people.”
The column closes with:
Trump further overcame his critics [at
the recent North Carolina rally] by inviting 26-year-old Rep. Madison Cawthorn
(R-NC) onto the stage after the Republican Establishment shunned and tried to
defeat him for his blunt criticisms. Rep.
Cawthorn nearly stole the show with his inspiring words that concluded with his
standing up from his wheelchair.
“We have so many in the national
party who believe that the key to saving our nation is cheapening our platform
and going after these non-existent middle-ground voters,” Cawthorn
declared. “My
friend, there is no middle ground with Marxists.”
The full column is here. And especially for those who were not happy with President Trump's reliance on Faux Fauci and the the Scarf Lady Deborah Birx, the Oz endorsement provides a counterweight.
