Perhaps Mehmet Oz could use a map β the GOP nominee for senator in Pennsylvania mistakenly grouped the Keystone State with those bordering the ocean.
In a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity on Monday, the former talk-show doctor declared: βThis is important: We do not have a Republican senator north of North Carolina on the Atlantic coast until you get to Maine, if I donβt hold this seat.β
does Oz ... does he think Pennsylvania is on the coast? pic.twitter.com/ZuXCPKZdVQ

Pennsylvania does not touch the Atlantic Ocean.
Itβs a bit of a technicality, but people on Twitter were not willing to overlook it β especially since Oz only began calling Pennsylvania home for his election bid after living in New Jersey, which does have a coastline, for decades. His Democratic opponent, John Fetterman, has assailed him as a carpetbagger.
Oz can now be accused of not being so good at geography, too:
Maybe heβs just confused since New Jersey is on the coast and thatβs the state where he actually lives.

Maybe Oz thinks the Delaware River is the Atlantic Ocean?

If you want to be a senator on the east coast, you should have stayed in New Jersey, get a map please.

Hey βdocβ your home in NJ might be on the water, but PA has no coastline the last time I checked.

Dude. Itβs Joisey Shore.

@DrOz New Jersey is on the Atlantic Coast. Not PA. pic.twitter.com/hkMu8u7ERw

In fairness to Oz he's thinking of NJ, where he actually lives
