Dr Oz campaign draws ire over unsavory remarks on Democratic rival’s stroke

The Republican candidate's aide said John Fetterman would not have suffered had he ever eaten a vegetable in his life'

John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate for US Senate in Pennsylvania, might not have had a stroke if he had ever eaten a vegetable in his life", an aide to the Republican candidate, Mehmet Oz, said on Tuesday in a strikingly nasty moment in an already bitter contest.

The statement, to Business Insider, came in response to Fetterman's mockery of a video in which Oz complains about the price of crudites while mangling the names of two Pennsylvania grocery stores.
