Oz responds to viral crudité video after Fetterman fundraises off it

Mehmet Oz, the GOP Senate nominee in Pennsylvania, dipped into the hullabaloo over his now viral attempt at shopping for a crudité platter.

Mehmet Oz on Wednesday dipped into the hullabaloo over his now-viral attempt to shop for a crudité platter, addressing for the first time his remarks in an April video that boomeranged around the internet this week.

Speaking with the conservative news outlet Newsmax, Oz, the GOP Senate nominee in Pennsylvania, hit back at critics, including his Democratic rival, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who said the campaign video showed Oz was out of touch with Pennsylvania voters.

"I’ve rolled my sleeves up my whole life," Oz said, pointing to his work as a cardiothoracic surgeon and his philanthropic ventures. "That’s what my life’s been about. When I joke about a crudité — which is a way of speaking about how ridiculous it is that you can’t even put vegetables on a plate — in the middle of a campaign, we’ll do whatever we need to do to make sure the people of Pennsylvania respect what we’re about, and we will work as hard as we can to fix their problems.

"It’s what I’ve done my whole life and what I’ll continue to do," he added. "I challenge my opponent: What have you done rolling your sleeves up in your own life to make life better for the people of Pennsylvania?"

Twitter users resurfaced the April video of Oz shopping for groceries in a Redner's supermarket in Pennsylvania. The video was intended to show the impact of inflation on state voters.
