Fetterman hits back at Oz for ‘vegetable’ remark: ‘Politics can be nasty’

Aide to TV doctor and Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz said Fetterman could have avoided stroke by eating vegetables

The Democratic candidate for US Senate in Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, has fired back at Mehmet Oz, after a senior aide to the Republican said Fetterman might have avoided a serious stroke in May had he only eaten more vegetables.

I had a stroke. I survived it," Fetterman said. I know politics can be nasty, but even then, I could never imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges."
