‘Is it over yet?’: ‘Worst' televised political debate held in Pennsylvania

behold the worst televised debate between two politicians that has ever happened it happened in the state of Pennsylvania one is a man who was a doctor on television the other is a hardcore leftist activist who has had a stroke John fetterman is the Democratic nominee current lieutenant governor he wears a hoodie because he's down with the real people hardcore leftist who basically did his bit to make sure that Joe Biden would absolutely win the state of Pennsylvania and his prize is to run for the U.S Senate he is up against Dr mehmed Oz now Dr Oz is one of those people who I have no idea is part of the political process but he was famous on TV once so he gets the approval of among others the former president of the United States the great Donald Trump so you can lie good it's like Donald Trump but Dr Oz is where I'm going to draw the line here now if this was a normal election probably the Democrat would be able to win an estate called Pennsylvania because Democrats have been doing pretty well and they're able to get out the vote particularly in the city of Philadelphia but this ain't no new election firstly Biden is very low in the polls and secondly did I mention that the Democrat has had a stroke at his hardcore leftist so latest opinion polls going into this debate show that the race is tightening and what I mean tightening I mean flip a coin fetamine is now down about one and a half points Oz is up two and a half points and there is not a percentage between them right now so because the bloke who had a stroke can't quite understand all the words that are being said to him they set up a closed captioning system above the debate moderators so he could read the questions that they were asking now if you were a voter in Pennsylvania would you want this hardcore leftist to be your next Senator because I think anyone who watches this will say hell freaking no let's start with how does he go at the very start of the debate what qualifies you to be a U.S senator you have 60 Seconds hi good night everybody I'm running to serve Pennsylvania he's running to use Pennsylvania here's a man that spent more than 20 million dollars of his own money to try to buy that seat I'm also having to talk about something called the Oz rule that if he's on TV he's lying okay and then of course there is the flip-flopping about fracking in Pennsylvania this is a very big issue because there's a lot of jobs in that industry this is a long grab it's an awkward grab but imagine being a voter in Pennsylvania could anyone vote for this guy 2018 interview you said quote I don't support fracking at all I never have but earlier this month you told an interviewer quote I support fracking I support the energy Independence that we should have here in the United States so Mr fetterman please explain your changing position 60 Seconds I've I've always supported fracking and I always believe that independence with our energy is is critical or we can't be held you know Ransom to somebody like Russia you know I've always believed that energy Independence is critical and I've always believed that and I do support fracking I've never taken any money from their their their industry but I support how critical it is that we produce our own energy and create energy Independence I must correct the record just a second Mr Oz I do want to clarify something you're saying tonight that you support fracking that you've always supported fracking but there is that 2018 interview that you said quote I don't support fracking at all so how do you square the two foreign I do support fracking and I don't I don't I support fracking and I stand and I do support fracking and then just to bring it home the actual Central issue of all of this is could you please provide some medical information that despite the obvious difficulties we can see you're having right now that you are okay to serve as a lawmaker in the United States Senate again long grab wow last week you released this note from your doctor saying you can work full Duty in public office but you have not released your detailed medical records surrounding your stroke Mr fetterman will you pledge tonight to release those records in the interest of transparency you have 60 seconds to me for transparency is about showing up I'm here today to have a debate I have you know speeches in front of 3 000 people in Montgomery County you know all across Pennsylvania big big crowds you know I believe if my doctor believes that I'm fit to serve and and that's what I believe is appropriate and now with two weeks before the election you know I have run the campaign and I've been very transparent about being very open about the fact we're in use captioning and I believe that again my doctors the real doctors that I believe and they all believe that I'm ready to be served follow up I didn't hear you say you would release your full medical records why not you have 30 seconds no again my Dr L believes that I'm fit to be serving and that's what I believe is where I'm standing is it over yet now what is particularly frustrating for the people of Pennsylvania here is they've got a choice between a TV doctor and a guy who CL it's pretty obvious is going to have some big struggles writing legislation but the problem is is that this is one of the races that if it goes their way control of the Senate goes their way but simply this is currently a republican seat if the Democrats win it then they can afford to lose one somewhere else they maintaining control of the U.S Senate if the Republicans can hold this seat and all they have to do is win one somewhere else they get control of the U.S Senate so therefore we have two people who should not be running for U.S Senate who should not be the people who represent their party but because control of the Senate is on the line your choices between that one and that one as for the bloke who's the hardcore lifters who had the stroke even people who desperately hate Dr Oz and Donald Trump had to say no they can't do this that was hard to watch and I kept thinking as this debate went on how irresponsible it was for Democrats and for fetterman's family and for the people around him to allow him to proceed into this general election absolutely true they could have had somebody else but they decided because he had to be rewarded for as if it's in 2020 that fitment had to be the candidate if they lose the seat it's because of that arrogance but as for MSNBC let's just change the subject and I want to give that credit uh to uh to John fetterman for trying to do his best under a certain set of circumstances that were not favorable for him but he gave a valiant effort I admire what John fetterman tried to do tonight and and Mr Oz should be ashamed of himself for the things that he said uh the positions that he has taken he has no legitimacy in this race he parachuted into Pennsylvania he's trying to steal a seat come off it for the poor people of Pennsylvania you have to vote but how could you possibly choose

The US is a big deal.

[u/Odd_Description_2295]

Because pa is a swing state. AndOZ was already famous for all the wrong reasons

[u/AlbrechtSchoenheiser]

The Pennsylvania senate seat is a big deal. It is a swing state and if the Republicans win Pennsylvania there's a good chance they will win back the senate. If Republicans win back the Senate there is a good chance they are going to cut military funding to ukraine. If they cut military funding to Ukraine there's a good chance that the war is going to be drawn out and protracted. If that war is drawn out and protracted it's probably going to continue to affect global Energy prices as well as supply chain. The Pennsylvania Senate race is a big big big big deal.

Idk, we put our military bases all over dozens of foreign countries, it may make sense that the people in those countries would want to be tuned into our politics.

[u/Sayoria]

Because skyNews is owned by Rupert Murdoch and knows that world notoriety of this will just make him look worse. Fuck Rupert Murdoch and fuck skyNews.

[u/XavierRex83]

Probably trying understand how these are the candidates.

[u/citsonga_cixelsyd]

Misery loves company?

[u/TherabbitTrix0]

Because it’s part of Murdoch’s cesspool media empire.

[u/vasquca1]

Any connection between Sky and Fox? I know Murdoch sold or was forced to sell that division many years back.
