Dr. Oz Stood in Front of One of Hitler's Cars at a Fundraiser and Had Jordan Peterson Call In https://jezebel.com/dr-oz-stood-in-front-of-one-of-hitlers-cars-at-a-fundr-1849630627

Matt Gaetz's in-laws hosted the high-dollar dinner from hell. What is this campaign doing?

In what continues to be an incredibly puzzling campaign, Dr. Mehmet Oz attended a $5,000-a-plate fundraiser hosted by sex pest Matt Gaetz’s in-laws on Thursday night at the Lyon Air Museum and stood in front of one of Adolf Hitler’s cars, which made it into the background of attendees’ photos.

The museum is full of WWII memorabilia, and yes, it is just a museum. But a campaign allowing their candidate to be photographed at a fundraiser with a car that literally has a swastika on it is quite a choice...

1. When you ride with Oz you ride with Hitler

[Jack the Greater]

41. US Mainstream Media is not touching this.

Independent and Guardian are carrying this, though. Maybe because the UK was more affected by the Nazis.

[Maraya1969]

2. Rick Scott was there too.

The museum is full of WWII memorabilia, and yes, it is just a museum. But a campaign allowing their candidate to be photographed at a fundraiser with a car that literally has a swastika on it is quite a choice.

The red plaque with a swastika is not visible in the photo of Oz.

We have several theories about how and why this happened. One, Oz’s team is extremely bad at their jobs. Two, they hate their boss. Three, this was an intentional wink to the fascist elements of the Republican party.

The event also featured NRSC Chairman Sen. Rick Scott of Florida and Nevada Senate nominee Adam Laxalt.

[gratuitous]

5. I'll go with the intentional wink

Plausible deniability to say "Oh, we had no idea!" when anyone notices. But the fascisti will know and recognize it for what Oz, Scott and Gaetz are signaling to them.

[jmowreader]

38. Or four, they're trying to throw the election to Fetterman

[Polybius]

3. Can't stand him, but I'm not bothered by this

It's a museum in CA. He sucks on the issues, so vote Fetterman.

[brush]

6. I don't agree. His campaign at least should've covered the car...

or had it moved. There's a fucking swastika flag on the car for God's sake. Could make some voters wonder if he espouses anti-Semitism.

That shows how poor his campaign staff is. Where was his advance man/woman paid to catch things like this?

And how is Oz so oblivious as not to catch this blunder himself?

[EYESORE 9001]

14. Some here are oblivious

[brush]

15. So it seems.

[Torchlight]

34. If nothing else, it advertises a dramatic lack of professionalism and prep work

of both him and his staff.

Amateur mistakes like this made after a primary are evidence of a poorly run, poorly managed, and out-of-touch campaign.

[brush]

36. Absolutely.

[Brenda]

10. I've been to a lot of museums, even a lot of museums with warcraft.

Haven't been to this particular one but there are probably many, many places in this museum to set up a dais and small monitor.

Not noticing the Nazi car would be part of some photos is either extremely stupid or on purpose.

After Charlottesville I no longer believe these are just stupid mistakes by idjits.

[48656c6c6f20]

25. Yeah I mean right? He couldn't find a lynching scene?

That wouldn't be a bother either right?

[Polybius]

55. Zzzzzzzz

[captain queeg]

4. Probably not a mistake. At least for his local rich fans.

They kept it out of his picture but those there got the message.

I couldn’t see if it was the custom 6 wheeled Mercedes (I think). Hitler had a lot of support from rich americcans. Many approved of his ideas.

[Sky Jewels]

8. Prescott Bush, for example, was a big Hitler enabler and financial supporter.

He made big $$ from helping Nazis.

[marble falls]

7. But the Schnitzel mit Spaetzel was to die for.

[Celerity]

43. jummmmmi 💙💙💙💙

[Dawson Leery]

9. Deliberate.

When people show you who they are, know it!

[liberalla]

11. That's insane!

[Midnight Writer]

12. I thought Matt Gaetz's wife jumped ship. Did they reconcile?

[blogslug]

19. You may be confusing her with the woman that was married to Madison Cawtorn

Cawthorn and his wife are separated pending a divorce.

Gaetz's wife, Ginger, is sister to Palmer Luckey (a sponsor of the above event) who designed the Oculus Rift VR thingy.

[Midnight Writer]

27. I am indeed. Thank you. Hard to tell the scumbags apart without a scorecard.

[Initech]

13. Can't think of a more vomit inducing duo...

[musette_sf]

16. Just got back from a business trip to Philly

and was completely barfed out to see Oz and Mastriano campaign signs by the road. Living in San Mateo County, I’m pretty insulated from seeing signage for pure-D MAGAts, so I was a bit surprised to note how visceral my reaction was.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. I have yet to see any Oz or Mastriano signs where I am in Philly

or in the immediate suburbs and I proudly have my Fetterman and Shapiro signs right outside my front door as do many others around here!

[musette_sf]

39. There were a bunch of them on the roadside

going from Newtown Square to the airport. I think it was close to where 1 connects to 476.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. The county where that is

is now blue although there are some pockets of red here and there as you get closer to Chester County (that has started becoming purple) and in some of the storied "Main Line" towns. But truth be told, they are blue. One of my sisters lives in the county.

In fact, 3 years ago for the first time in over a century and a half, Democrats swept all the County Council seats. And they held onto control last year still shutting out any GOP members on the Council.

I expect anything stuck "on the roadside" were done by loons in pickups that planted them there on their way from a rally. The county was almost a 2 - 1 Biden county in 2020. Very few loons over here in the SE part of the state!

[FakeNoose]

44. I finally saw a Mastriano sign the other day - north of Pittsburgh

Have yet to see a yard sign for Oz. He's doing most of his fundraising in other states it seems. This one here was in California, and he's got Floridians donating. Nobody in PA gives a spit for this guy. Even the RNC left him high and dry.

On the other hand, Shapiro and Fetterman signs are everywhere, even my front yard!

[BumRushDaShow]

45. He supposedly has one of these driving around the state (staffed with volunteers)

I don't know how many of them there are or if there is just the one but I think I got an email that had been soliciting volunteers to drive it/work on it.

[FakeNoose]

46. I've donated to him a few times

Got my yard sign, a bumper sticker, and a pink FETTERWOMAN t-shirt.

[BumRushDaShow]

48. I know I gave him a good chunk of change over hte past 6 months

and did some split donations with him and Shapiro.

That "Fetterwoman" t-shirt was genius though. rofl:

[Tommy Carcetti]

17. "Are you insane?!? This is Hitler's car!!!"

[NBachers]

24. I'm one of the fourteen people who saw that in the movies. I took my son. Jon Lovitz makes me laugh

[Montauk6]

18. When I saw the OP Subject, I instantly thought of the infamous Bocialist candidate

[blogslug]

21. lol

typo and it stays

[Sogo]

20. Looking forward to Fetterman's response ad....nt.

[BumRushDaShow]

47. Here is his tweet about it

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're asking donors for money in front of Hitler’s literal car, then you shouldn't be running for U.S. Senate

22. Did Jordan Peterson used to be sane and then go nuts, or was he always the way he is now?

Before I had ever heard of him, I saw a (non-political) video of a lecture to one of his classes and he didn't come off as a dirt bag.

[Farmer-Rick]

23. Do these people know we fought WWII to be rid of Nazis like them?

That rumbling you hear is all those war heroes who died in WWII turning over in their graves.

[sprinkleeninow]

35. My dad served WWII Navy Phillipines. Auxiliary ship hit by secondary fire.

Dad in water. Says act of contrition. Would recount very minimal when he returned home. My mom never pressed him further. Died at 45 y.o. from aortic aneurysm.

This 'meh' and all his approving ilk can go screw themselves diagonally.

[captain queeg]

50. For anyone born in the 30s and 40s WWII was a focal point in their lives

Probably few actual veterns of the war but just about anyone growing up in that time has plenty of memories. I wonder how these dickheads would fare with voters from assisted living places? Hopefully they’ll manage to GOTV.

[Farmer-Rick]

56. So true

We lost over 400,000 military members due to WWII and 16 million Americans served in WWII. We had about half the population in 1940 that we have today.

As a comparison, COVID, thanks to Trump's negligence, killed 1 million plus and infected over 96 million.

[captain queeg]

57. My dad didn't serve, had a physical handicap [

But both my folks talked about ration cards and not being able to get tires. And most all employment was in defense industries. My dad was a welder and worked in the shipyards and made those water landing tanks. Americans called them amtracks, but he always used the British name wat1er buffalos.

[NBachers]

26. Hitler's Ghost is driving the repuke party straight to hell. They'll take us with them if they can

[rubbersole]

32. They're trying to take us all.

A lot of cracks starting to appear in the new fascist gop. What's going to happen when their hero pootie is removed from power? They not only need to be stomped at the midterms, eternal vigilance will be required to keep them down.

[IronLionZion]

28. I doubt many Nazis would vote for a fellow named Mehmet Chengiz Oz

or are smart enough to understand Turkey's history with Germany.

[sop]

29. Matt Gaetz: "sex pest"

[musette_sf]

42. The British have a way with words

They also call Talibangelicals “God botherers”

[iluvtennis]

31. Un-fkn believable.

[sprinkleeninow]

33. A vote for 'intentional'.

[tanyev]

37. And not just Oz. That big screen with the NRSC logo didn't walk itself in.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

49. Did Hitler also start out by killing puppies in inhumane experiments?

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

51. Dude is a walking, talking gaffe machine

[live love laugh]

52. Where's the photo of him with the car?

[blogslug]

53. It's in my original post

Look closer.

[live love laugh]

54. Oh I see the car in the background but didn't realize they are the same.

Thanks 😊

[captain queeg]

58. No Hitler skipped straight to humans. He had a soft spot for animals

Some of his first laws were anti cruelty to animals.

[Stuart G]

59. The picture & background & car show who Oz is and what he is.
