Pompeo Hints Dr. Oz Could Have Dual Loyalties

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Mehmet Oz’s (R) ties to Turkey as raising “national security concerns,” The Hill reports.

Said Pompeo: “Not only did he not engage in the American process but he engaged in the Turkish political process. That raises in my mind a lot of judgments about his priority.”

Oz’s campaign quickly denounced the remarks as akin to dual loyalty “tropes used against Catholics and Jews.”

ABC News reports Oz actually cast a ballot in Turkey’s 2018 presidential election.
