"The minority leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, took an opportunity yesterday to say some rather unkind things about you, Roberts told Oz before airing a clip of Jeffries railing against him: Nobody who's serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously. No one. And, I mean, it's shocking that the guy even was confirmed I'm not gonna respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz, who's unqualified to be in whatever position he holds in the administration. He's a joke."
"Roberts responded to the clip by saying he has known Oz for about 30 years, stating, And I put together this little collection of potential qualifications that you have. He then rattled off Oz's Ivy League credentials and some of his jobs, which included cardiothoracic surgeon and professor at Columbia University. Omitted from the list was Oz's history of pushing pseudoscience, including advocacy of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19."
"Oz, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump in his ill-fated 2022 U.S. Senate bid, appeared on Tuesday's America Reports amid a pledge from Trump that Republicans will soon unveil a healthcare plan. The television doctor declined to elaborate on the alleged plan during an interview on Fox Business on Monday. Trump has been promising to roll out a healthcare plan since 2015, but it has yet to materialize."
Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, appeared on Fox while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called him unqualified and a joke in a shown clip. Oz had been endorsed by President Donald Trump during a 2022 Senate bid and declined to elaborate on a promised Republican healthcare plan. Fox host Roberts listed Oz's Ivy League credentials and medical positions but did not mention Oz's past promotion of pseudoscience such as hydroxychloroquine. Oz accused Jeffries of panicking and attacking the messenger and warned about challenges facing millions under current healthcare arrangements.
