A new front in the battle between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Trump administration has opened over a video in which Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz visits Los Angeles and alleges members of its Armenian community orchestrated large-scale health care fraud.
The dayslong public scuffle on social media escalated on Thursday evening, when Newsom announced his office was filing a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services accusing Oz of discrimination.
Newsom’s office argued in the complaint that Oz “spewed baseless and racially charged allegations” that risked chilling participation in hospice and home care programs among the community targeted. The governor’s office noted the claims had “already caused real-world harm” by dampening business at an Armenian bakery that is shown in the video.
I have trouble believing OZ is a real doctor. Then I remember what is said about a lot of surgeons. That they have psychopathic tendencies. Just having those doesn’t make you evil but given a large enough sample over time you will eventually end up with one who is pure evil.
Newsom seems like a blue maga to me but OZ is simply an evil asshole.
