Oz At Debate: We “Cannot Move On” From 2020

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:

The two GOP front-runners — Mr. Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon and former daytime TV host, and David McCormick, the former CEO of the world’s largest hedge fund — traded attacks from a debate stage in Harrisburg alongside three of their opponents.

Mr. Oz mentioned former President Donald Trump’s endorsement multiple times during Monday’s televised, multimarket debate.

His opponents attacked him the most of any of the other candidates, and he also picked up a common strategy from Mr. Trump — choosing a catchy, alliterative nickname — by calling Mr. McCormick “Dishonest Dave.”

Politico reports:



The candidates’ loyalty to Trump was tested throughout the night. Moderators asked whether it was time for the GOP to move forward as Trump continues to talk about the 2020 election.

Oz said he had discussed the 2020 election with Trump and that “we cannot move on.” McCormick said it was a “tragedy” that most Republican voters in Pennsylvania didn’t believe in the integrity of the election.

Sands directed viewers to a film by far-right personality Dinesh D’Souza propping up election conspiracies. Barnette said the Republican Party should “absolutely not” move past the 2020 election.
