Daily News | Mehmet Oz says he’d renounce dual Turkish citizenship if elected to the Senate, answering GOP primary attacks
“My dual citizenship has become a distraction in this campaign,” Oz, born in Cleveland to Turkish immigrants, said in a statement. “I maintained it to care for my ailing mother, but after several weeks of discussions with my family, I’m committing that before I am sworn in as the next U.S. Senator for Pennsylvania I will only be a U.S. citizen.”Mehmet Oz knows TV. Now his GOP opponents are turning Pennsylvania’s airwaves against him.
An unspoken subtext of the attacks is that Oz would be the first Muslim elected to the Senate, and he’s running in a state that has little history of diversity in its statewide elected officials. Pennsylvania elected its first Black man to statewide political office in 2020, Auditor Timothy DeFoor, and has“The bigoted attacks my opponent Dave McCormick has made against me as the child of immigrants are reminiscent of slurs made in the past about Catholics and Jews,” Oz said.
