Dr. Oz Pledges to Investigate ‘Politically Motivated Firings’ After Biden Ousts Him From Panel

Dr. Oz Pledges to Investigate ‘Politically Motivated Firings’ After Biden Ousts Him From Panel
Fox News

Earlier this week, the Biden administration issued letters to GOP Senate candidates Dr. Mehmet Oz of Pennsylvania and Herschel Walker of Georgia, demanding their resignation from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, warning them they would be dismissed if a resignation wasn't received.

The pair, who were appointed to the volunteer positions by former President Donald Trump, railed against the firing, with Oz refusing to resign.


Oz recently appeared in an interview with far-right Fox News host Sean Hannity, where he announced he'd spoken to Walker and they both agreed to investigate the firings.

Watch below.

Oz said to Hannity:

"Herschel and I have been talking, just texted him before I came on now, and when we're senators—we will both be senators one day, I believe—we're gonna investigate politically motivated firings. We want to introduce legislation to block politically driven malice. It makes no legal sense that you would take us off the panel."

Oz seems to have forgotten the record of the former President he supports. From the early days of his administration, Donald Trump was infamous for politically motivated firings. Before his presidency was even six months old, Trump fired then-FBI Director James Comey, who was overseeing an investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign at the time. Though the White House said the firing was on the recommendation of intelligence officials, Trump said he would've fired Comey "regardless of recommendations." Trump later admitted to NBC's Lester Holt that the firing was an effort to subvert the investigation.

The firings didn't stop there. Trump dismissed Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman of the National Security Council and E.U. Ambassador Gordon Sondland after they complied with subpoenas to testify in the House select committee's 2019 impeachment inquiry.

He also fired Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Chris Krebs for debunking Trump's fantasies that the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump by Democrats.

Social media users didn't hesitate to remind Oz of all this.






They continued to roast Oz's Senate candidacy.



Some have argued that Oz and Walker violated the Hatch Act by continuing to serve on the committee while also running a campaign.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
