Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz said fellow candidate Kathy Barnette should be disqualified from Tuesday's primary election after she criticized his religion in a tweet more than seven years ago.

Dr. Oz described himself as"pro-life" but said"there are times" when he disagrees"with other pro-life advocates."

"In my case, those disagreements often come about because, as a doctor, I've dealt with issues that threaten the life of the mother," he added, noting he would want a provision to any potential abortion ban that would provide an exception for rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother. Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehmet Oz, left, accompanied by former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Greensburg, Pa., Friday, May 6, 2022.

In April, Trump endorsed Oz in an email to his supporters where he called him"popular, respected, and smart." "The Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a tremendous opportunity to Save America by electing the brilliant and well-known Dr. Mehmet Oz for the United States Senate," Trump said."I have known Dr. Oz for many years, as have many others, even if only through his very successful television show. He has lived with us through the screen and has always been popular, respected, and smart.""Dr.

‘Reprehensible': Oz Condemns GOP Opponent's Tweet on IslamRepublican Senate hopeful Mehmet Oz is stepping up his criticism of a far-right candidate in Pennsylvania who is gaining traction ahead of Tuesday’s primary election. Oz has generally steered clear of rival Kathy Barnette. But Oz tells The Associated Press that Barnette is out of step with the GOP and would be unable to win the general election. Oz takes issue with a 2015 tweet from Barnette in which she wrote that “Pedophilia is a Cornerstone of Islam.” Oz would be the nation’s first Muslim senator, and he calls Barnette’s remark “disqualifying.” The Barnette campaign hasn’t responded to a request for comment. Takes one to know one Dr Oz needs to go back to New Jersey Oz is a Turk. No dual citizens on Congress. Period.

So why would we want a guy to become senator of the U.S. when he also is a citizen of Turkey? Dual citizenship. So, does he also have dual loyalties? Do we really want a senator up in D.C. who holds dual citizenship with Turkey? Does he also have dual loyalties?
