Pennsylvania GOP Senate hopeful Mehmet Oz—of New Jersey—might have tanked any chances he had at winning the Republican primary in the Keystone state after a bizarre scenario he shared during his final television appearance on Fox News Monday ahead of Tuesday's primary vote.
But maybe not—some people love horror.
Oz's welcome was less than enthusiastic at a rally earlier this month, despite a ringing endorsement from former Republican President Donald Trump. Some attendees even booed audibly when Trump said they needed to "secure a massive win" for Oz at the polls.
The less than stellar support for Oz from Pennsylvania Republicans makes his choice to share a bizarre, somewhat creepy statement while on air even more baffling.
Oz told the audience and Fox News' Sean Hannity:
"So, when you go to bed at night, put your head on that soft pillow, you’ll know Oz will be doing exactly what you want him to do if you were there next to him."

Twitter was, as usual, merciless in its mockery.

Wait, does this mean Oz is in bed next to me? Because I don't find that thought remotely reassuring.https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1526376138188070913\u00a0\u2026— Robert Tracinski (@Robert Tracinski) 1652758874
I'm not sure exactly what Dr. Oz is promising here, but nobody wants him to keep it. AKhttps://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1526376138188070913\u00a0\u2026— Kamenetzky Brothers (@Kamenetzky Brothers) 1652758028
