Dr. Mehmet Oz made a couple campaign stops in Philly. Whether they were successful stops is up for debate, but they were eventful. He picked up a used needle at one point, and a Democratic state lawmaker ripped up a pamphlet in front of him at another.
That included state Rep. Chris Rabb, a Democrat who represents a portion of Philadelphia in the state legislature, who ripped up an Oz campaign pamphlet in front of the Republican.
"I arrived, and after Oz’s staff first tried to keep me out of the meeting, they ushered me to a place on the panel one seat down from Oz. I repeatedly tried to speak during the program and make my voice heard, but was never allowed to," Rabb said."I was disgusted by what I heard at this event, which made clear that Oz does not understand my community and was only here for a photo op.
Oz took a walk through Kensington before leaving the city, getting a tour from a local barber. At one point, the Republican picked up a used heroin needle.
