Mehmet Oz: Last News

The last time I spoke with Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, now the state’s senator-elect and perhaps the highest-profile one in the U.S., he was busy fighting Pennsylvania’s Republican state legislators over the Pride flag that hung outside of his office in the state capitol building.As I wrote in January of 2021, the Republicans in the state legislature, who seem to be offended at the sight of rainbow flags, surreptitiously stuck a provision inside a budget bill that banned the unauthorized flying of flags on the capitol grounds. It was a direct swipe at Fetterman’s LGBTQ+ flags, which were being hung to encourage support for adding a state constitutional amendment that outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.“It’s unbelievable that they actually passed a law to bar me from [flying his flags], so if they want to send the antigay flag police to take them down, then go ahead.
