Fact check: McCormick attack ad takes benign Oz quote out of context to portray Trump-endorsed candidate as 'anti Trump'
CNN
On Saturday, former President Donald Trump endorsed surgeon and former television personality Mehmet Oz in the Republican primary for Pennsylvania's open US Senate seat. The endorsement is a challenge for Oz's top Republican rival, former hedge fund chief executive David McCormick, who had also reportedly sought Trump's backing.
McCormick's campaign has now released a television attack ad that claims Oz is actually "ANTI TRUMP." But the ad takes an Oz remark out of context to falsely portray the comment as some sort of attack on the former President.
As the words "ANTI TRUMP" appear on the screen, the McCormick ad shows a clip of Oz on camera saying, "And we haven't had any interaction with President Trump at all."
