“I will not be participating in a debate the first week of September, but look forward to having a productive discussion about how we can move forward and have a real conversation on this once Dr. Oz and his team are ready to take this seriously,” he added.
Surgeons implanted a pacemaker with a defibrillator to regulate Mr. Fetterman‘s heartbeat after he suffered a stroke last spring.
The health woes has raised concerns about his ability to return to the campaign trail. He has held two brief rallies in the past week.
An Oz campaign aide said last week that Mr. Fetterman wouldn’t have had a stroke if he “had ever eaten a vegetable in his life.” In a radio interview on Tuesday, Mr. Oz, a celebrity surgeon and former TV personality, didn’t disavow his aide’s remark.
“I can only speak to what I’m saying ― is that John Fetterman should be allowed to recover fully, and I will support his ability, as someone who’s gone through a difficult time, to get ready,” Mr. Oz said on KDKA.
Later Tuesday, the Oz campaign said it had been notified that Mr. Fetterman would not take part in next week’s planned debate on live TV.
“John Fetterman is a liar, a liberal, and a coward,” said Britney Yanick, communications director for the Oz campaign.
Mr. Fetterman said the rhetoric from Mr. Oz‘s team “made it abundantly clear that they think it is funny to mock a stroke survivor.”
“I chose not to participate in this farce,” he said of the canceled debate. “Any sense that these ‘challenges’ were done in good faith is damaged.”
Earlier, Mr. Fetterman referred to his recovery and his need to “improve my auditory processing and speech.”

VOTER: "Are you afraid to debate Dr. Oz?"
JOHN FETTERMAN: *confused gibberish*
FETTERMAN STAFF: "Just keep walking!"
VOTER: "Are you going to debate him? He’s offered five debates."pic.twitter.com/QwoK5pLmHq— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) August 29, 2022
WATCH: @JohnFetterman won’t say if he’s afraid to debate @DrOz.
It’s been 17 days since Doctor Oz challenged Fetterman to 5 debates, and STILL no response.
Why is Fetterman so afraid to commit to a debate? pic.twitter.com/GtIkFe9bmt— NRSC Rapid Response (@NRSC_Rapid) August 29, 2022
Incredible. And the Oz is not adept in dealing with this. It would be pathetic if Oz were to lose to this stroke casualty.
Oz should be at the debate and use clips of Fetterman stating his positions.
LOL, you just made me lose my clean keyboard, LOL, only problem is that he doesn’t tell the truth.
“Oz should be at the debate and use clips of Fetterman stating his positions.”
Good idea, anything that puts a spotlight on his lunacy.
He’s pulling the vegetable basement crap on Pennsylvanians! It worked very well for the vegetable it’ll work perfectly for him too. Besides they got those voter fraud machines down in Philly ….they’ll be cranking out fake votes like a colon prep on steroids!! The fraudsters have been emboldened to cheat again because nobody was ever held accountable for the big enchilada steal!!
I’m voting for Dr. Oz.

“President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will be joined by endorsed candidates, and other special guests on Saturday, September 3, 2022, in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA.”

State Senator Doug Mastriano, Republican Nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania
Dr. Mehmet Oz, Republican Nominee for U.S. Senator for Pennsylvania
Mr. Jim Bognet, Republican Nominee for U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District
The fact they sent Slow Joe there to prop up this fool (with another fool) shows Dems are in trouble.
Don’t believe the lying polls.
Stop picking on Lurch. 😂
Dude is a Lummox.
Poor baby.
I’m sorry this guy had a stroke, but geez, can’t the DemonRATs find a healthy, able-bodied person to run for office. OR, are they just emulating their infirm, demented leader????
I tend to agree. He’s not healthy enough for the job. Presently, I think a 12th grade kid could debate him and probably win.
Dr. O needs to come up with an opinionated remark about Fetterman that is so outrageous, John is virtually forced to respond in some manner.
CNN reporter Bernard Shaw did something like that back in 1988. GHWB was running vs Mike Dukakis. I think the question was; ‘If your wife Kitty Dukakis was raped and murdered, would you support the death penalty? Mike said “No, I would not”.
uncle fester.
Mockery? Hey,pal...your opponent is a physician...a physician affiliated with one of the world’s finest hospitals. He is fully qualified to express scientifically informed opinions on your shocking medical vulnerabilities. In short,he’s pointing out to the people of the Keystone State that they deserve better than a man with several dozen functioning brain cells.
Fetterman is the most ape like human I have ever seen. A huge lumbering ape.
