A poll released Wednesday showed Mehmet Oz down 20 points on Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. But nothing sucked up the campaign oxygen like the resurfaced crudité video, which was trolled, meme-ified, and used to spark a Fetterman fundraising blitz.
“Democrats have long said that Republicans have not been serious, a la Trump,” Nicholas said. “If the whole world turns on ‘What is the correct word for a veggie tray?’ I lay this right back at their feet.”
“Our campaign isn’t self-funded by a multimillionaire celebrity doctor, it’s funded by hundreds of thousands of grassroots donors,” McPhillips said. “John actually understands what it’s like to go grocery-shopping and to see prices go up. Oz clearly has never been in a grocery store before. That’s why this is resonating with supporters across Pennsylvania.”
“To the extent this dust-up helped with that, it’s helpful to the Fetterman campaign with 82 days to go,” he said.”Right now it is a joke and a meme ... but within the guffaws, Fetterman is beginning to define Oz as the ‘out of touch’ guy who is from out of state,” said Larry Ceisler, a Democratic public affairs consultant.
“Stuff like that keeps John Fetterman out of the media,” Westmoreland GOP chair Bill Bretz said of the crudité video. Bretz had not seen the video but was vaguely aware of “something about an appetizer tray” being shared on a friend’s Facebook page.
