Fetterman berated for backing out of debate with Dr. Oz: 'Biden Basement Strategy'
Conservatives on Twitter called out media for framing the news as a problem Oz rather than Fetterman

Conservatives on social media criticized Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, for backing out of an upcoming debate with his opponent, Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz.
One user even recognized Fetterman’s campaign strategy as the one that helped President Biden get into the White House.
On Tuesday, Fetterman, the current Pennsylvania lieutenant governor, put out an official statement declining to debate Oz during the first week of September. Fetterman’s official reason for pulling out of the debate was because Dr. Oz’s campaign mocked his health as a "Stroke survivor."
Responding to an official statement from the Oz campaign – which mocked Fetterman’s proposed policies and seemed to mock his medical condition – the candidate’s statement read, "Today’s statement from Dr. Oz’s team made it abundantly clear that they think it is funny to mock a stroke survivor. I chose not to participate in this farce."
