Sorry, out of the loop: how is this an pwn?

Oz is a New Jersey resident with a quasi-fake address in Pennsylvania so he can run for office in Penn. He would really, really like people to stop talking about him being a Jersey boy.

They are running against each other in a race for US Senate in Pennsylvania, while Oz lives in New Jersey.

There’s a Jersey Hall of Fame? How does it work?
“Easy. You gives us money and we makes sure that yer name doesn’t get put forward for it. Capisce?”.
(Sorry Jersey folks, my New Yorker friends have got to me.)

While this is absolutely brilliant, as a New Jersey native and resident I can’t support this. The guys is from Delaware and still maintains Turkish citizenship.
Hell, not only do we not want him, you have to wonder where his loyalties lie.

There’s nothing wrong with having dual citizenship.

Do you wonder? I don’t believe for a moment he’s some kind of agent for Turkey – as Jesse says, nothing wrong with dual citizenship – or Delaware, or New Jersey, or Pennsylvania. His loyalties are pretty clearly to Dr. Oz.

I wonder if whoever writes headlines for NBC realizes that “Carpetbagger” is a racially loaded term coined by the losers of a failed slaver’s rebellion.

No, there isn’t. But do you want to be represented by a guy who isn’t from your state, declared residency just to run in your state, and holds onto his citizenship from another country?
How can this guy have the first clue about those he is supposed to represent?

The “not from this state” part is all it takes.

Please stop.
Oz is a scumbag who went shopping for an open Senate seat on Trump’s recommendation. He’s not qualified, and doesn’t live in the state he’s looking to represent.
There’s no reason to engage in hoary old, racist ass smears.

Bana güven. Ben bir doktorum.
There’s a certain gentle enmity between Pennsy & Jersey - besides the obvious carpet bagging. Especially in the SE counties that can control the election. The City for Northern NJ’ers is NY. For Southern is Philly. The usual suburbs vs City runs their as well.
Of course- Philly visitors to the Jersey shore are probably looked upon a bit askance as well.

Race has nothing to do with it.
For a sitting Senator? Yes, it might be.
Turkish is a race? Since when.
