Dr. Oz Finally Explains Viral “Crudité” Shopping Video Mistakes: “I Was Exhausted”

deadline.com:

For the first time since an old video of him shopping for crudité went viral, Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has spoken out.“I’m at Wegner’s,” Oz says in the video, apparently mixing the names of two separate grocery chains, Wegmans and Redner’s. (Signs in the background of the video clearly indicate he’s at Redner’s).

Asked on Newsmax yesterday about his confusion Oz replied, “I was exhausted. When you’re campaigning 18 hours a day…Listen, I’ve gotten my kids’ names wrong, as well.

I don’t think that’s a measure of someone’s ability to lead the Commonwealth.”That gaffe alone may have been just a minor political blip, but Oz also used a very effete-sounding word in the video that may Pennsylvanians — and most Americans — may not know.“My wife wants some vegetables for a crudité, right?” Oz says while moving down the aisle and bemoaning the price of the produce he’s collected.“Guys, that’s $20 for a crudité and that doesn’t include the tequila.

I mean, that’s outrageous. And we got Joe Biden to thank for this,” he says.Inflation is hurting American families. Under Joe Biden, gas prices are skyrocketing and food prices are rising.
