Clueless arrogant D-bag "Dr Oz" & his f*cking CARROT CAKE equals Musk's Chainsaw & Cheese Head Hat Redux

One thing the MAGAt's / "radical right" have NEVER BEEN GOOD AT is "humor" and / or "cute messaging."

They resented people like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for YEARS, and their response was squirm-inducing, smug, self-satisfied pricks like Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters. These guys NEVER GAINED TRACTION outside of the Fox cult.

So Musk did his chainsaw stunt, and the Wisconsin "Cheese Head Hat" may have been the turning point for his shelf life, but one thing "Dr. Oz" appareantly has not learned is that "cute messaging" and "stunts" and "skits" either SWIM IMMEDIATELY or SINK IMMEDIATELY with no middle ground.


'Carrot cake didn't give me cancer': Dr. Oz under fire after 'insulting' remark

https://www.rawstory.com/dr-oz-2673203945/

Another Bluesky user wrote, "Carrot cake didn't give me cancer, dumba--."

Yet another said, "Um... your boss eats McDonald's every chance he gets and you are judging people eating carrot cake," a reference to Trump's legendary fondness for Big Macs, Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, and vanilla shakes.

Over on X, one account with over 130,000 followers said: "What an insensitive p---- as he brings a piece of carrot cake to Stu Varney during the interview. Republicans seem so gleeful to be hurting Americans. This is why millionaires and billionaires should never be in Congress or the [White House]."

The Occupy Democrats X account also weighed in, posting, "It's not enough for them to take away our healthcare, Republicans want to blame us for getting sick."

"But we're all in it together, Stuart," [Dr Oz] added, "which means we'll be there for you, the American people, when you need help with Medicaid and Medicare, but you've got to stay healthy as well. Be healthy, do the most you can do to really live up to the potential, your God-given potential to live a full and healthy life, you know, don't eat carrot cake, eat real food."

...I didn't get it. I just didn't get it at all. Sometimes society puts people up on a pedestal and I just can't see why. And yeah, when you have two guys like that on your resume, it defines the whole enchilada.
