WASHINGTON, DC. (THECOUNT) — Joe Biden has demanded the resignations of Dr. Oz from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, it was announced on Thursday. Herschel Walker was also asked to leave.
Both Walker and Oz are Republican Senate candidates — in Georgia and Pennsylvania respectively — and Biden has a policy prohibiting candidates for federal office to serve on Presidential committees. So, both candidates got a letter from The White House with an ultimatum … either resign by 6 PM Thursday or get the boot, reports TMZ.
Oz, who was appointed to the board by Trump, went in hard, saying, “Clearly, Joe Biden can’t be around anyone who doesn’t completely fall in line with his fear-mongering authoritarian one-size-fits-all COVID handling. I am proud of my service and will not resign.”
Dr. Oz lost his show after announcing his candidacy and it seemed he knew that was in the cards when he announced, but this pink slip got him all worked up.
