U.S. candidate John Fetterman’s campaign reached back a few months to find a video that it used to make fun of Republican rival Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The video, published in April, shows Oz walking through a store’s vegetable section to help his wife build “a crudité,” according to Huffington Post, one of a number of news organizations that on Monday highlighted the video and Fetterman’s tweet.
As you can imagine, that term provided some red meat for a Fetterman campaign that has looked for ways to cast Oz as an out-of-touch celebrity.
“In PA we call this a ... veggie tray,” Fetterman says in a late Monday morning tweet, trying to drive home the point again that Oz is not from here.
It wasn’t the only part of the video that Fetterman ate up.
Oz seemed to combine the names of two Pa. supermarket stores, Redner’s and Wegmans, while telling viewers where he was shopping.
