Political candidates can go to some pretty great lengths, and some pretty deep and dark places, to drag their opponents.
Current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania,John Fetterman, who is running against Dr. Mehmet Oz for one of Pennsylvania's US Senate seats, took things in exactly the opposite direction.
Fetterman landed an epic dig at Oz's tenuous residency in Pennsylvania in possibly the most conspicuous way possible. He used an aerial banner ad—yes, one of those banners pulled behind a propeller plane you often see at the beach.
The banner read:
"HEY DR. OZ. WELCOME HOME TO NJ! ❤️ JOHN"
Fetterman didn't leave it there though, he kept the trolling going on Twitter.
A few Twitter users reported having seen the banner too.
Many also expressed their support for Fetterman.
In an email to HuffPost, Fetterman described the stunt as "Aerial Trolling!!!!"
He said:
"The banner will fly from Cape May to Brigantine on one of the biggest vacation weekends of the year."
"It will literally reach *thousands* of beachgoers at the shore, where so many Pennsylvania families go to vacation every year."
