Republican Mehmet Oz Backed by Pennsylvania Corrections Officers in Race Against Radical John Fetterman
Breitbart ^ | 18 Oct 2022 | NICK GILBERTSON

The Pennsylvania State Correction Officers Association (PSCOA) is backing Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz against his radical Democrat opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, in the Keystone State’s U.S. Senate race.

Oz’s campaign released a letter of endorsement from the PSCOA on Tuesday. In the letter, dated August 3, PSCOAS President John Eckenrode wrote to Oz:

Your leadership and support of the men and women who patrol Pennsylvania’s 35 state correctional institution, forensic units and community corrections centers will be critical. We’re impressed with his knowledge of the many issues our members face, and for the great concern he’s shown for our officers and their families. We look forward to working with him in support of the brave men and women of the PSCOA.

In response, Oz said in a statement that PSCOA “officers know that I proudly stand with them and with immense respect for the under-appreciated service they provide to our commonwealth and our justice system.”

He added:

To be a corrections officer, you’ve got to be tough and smart on your feet, reading people constantly. They know a problem when they see it, like John Fetterman who wants to reward criminals and push radical policies like decriminalizing heroin and releasing one-third of our prison population. It’s time to restore balance in Washington so we can have safer communities.

The endorsement bears tremendous significance considering Fetterman’s radical record when it comes to criminals.

As lieutenant governor, he chairs the state’s five-person Board of Pardons, which radicalized under his watch. Since Fetterman assumed office in 2019, the number of commutation recommendations for those facing life sentences, including those convicted of first and second-degree murder, skyrocketed.

From March 2019 through April 2022, the board sent at least 46 commutation recommendations to Gov. Tom Wolf (D), as the Philadelphia Inquirer‘s Julie Terruso reported in May.

“That’s compared with just six in Wolf’s first term, none under former Republican Gov. Tom Corbett’s one term, and only five during former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell’s eight years in office,” as Terruso wrote.

Terribly sad but perhaps Pennsylvanians want radicals. We’ll see how it shakes out. I hope they don’t vote on Dominion machines like we do in Georgia.

Democrats are more concerned about keeping the Senate than putting another imbecile in elected office. He’ll just be another sock puppet like Brandon. Oz is going to lose regardless of what a p.o.s. his opponent is.

“Badge Unions” are caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to endorsements.

On personal pocketbook issues (job security, pensions, etc) the Ds have until recently done them better.

But thanks to “defund the Police” they have awakened to the realization that the law & order Rs are truly their allies—and now their only allies.

Dr. Oz will win.

And if the red wave is big enough so will Mastriano.

“ Democrats are more concerned about keeping the Senate than putting another imbecile in elected office.”

Imbeciles are a feature, not a bug, for Democrats.
