The Day Before Trump Arrives In Pennsylvania Oz And Mastriano Are At Each Other’s Throats

The top of the ballot in Pennsylvania are fighting with each other as Dr. Oz and Doug Mastriano are set to be guest stars at Trump’s Saturday rally.

Oz’s true feelings about Mastriano leaked to the press earlier in the week. Dr. Oz has been telling people that the Republican gubernatorial candidate is going to lose.

Mastriano didn’t like this, so according to The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Mastriano, a state senator from Franklin County, on Wednesday circulated a memo among his colleagues, looking for cosponsors for future legislation that “would prohibit scientific experiments on live domestic cats and dogs” in the state.

Even racist anti-Semite Doug Mastriano draws the line at Oz’s puppy killing.

In contrast, on the Democratic side at the top of the ballot, Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman have been running as a ticket and campaigning around the state. Shapiro has been urging Republicans who are planning to vote for him to also vote for Fetterman.

Both of Trump’s hand-picked Pennsylvania candidates can’t seem to get along with each other and their appearance as sidebar guests in Latrobe, PA on Saturday night could be a dumpster fire.

Oz and Mastriano are taking shots at each other as the campaign winds down, while Democrats are unified.
