John Fetterman, who was Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor and former mayor of Braddock, is currently seeking a Senate seat if the vote favors him in November and will run against Donald Trump’s protégé Mehmet Oz.

The former president appeared at a Pennsylvania rally to support both candidate Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano, who is running for governor of the state. During the speech he addressed John Fetterman whom he insinuated is a drug user.

“Fetterman supports taxpayer-funded drug dens and the complete decriminalization of illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and ultra-lethal fentanyl… By the way, he takes them himself,” were the former president’s statements.

But in addition, he also criticized his appearance and the way he dressed, “he comes in a tracksuit, I have never seen him wear a suit.”

And he continued: “Dirty, dirty, dirty tracksuit, it’s really disgusting. You know, I’m a total freak. I’m a freak, Oz, I don’t like those dirty tracksuits, that’s disgusting,” Trump said.

Even though this was over the weekend, the Pennsylvania candidate only made a statement regarding the insults he received in order to avoid getting into an argument that would not benefit voters.

“More and more lies from Trump and Dr. Oz; another day, but it’s the same crap from these two sad, desperate guys,” Fetterman wrote in a statement.

“I had a stroke. I survived. I’m really very grateful to still be here today. I know politics can be nasty, but still, I could never imagine ridiculing someone for his health issues,” Fetterman responded to the comments.

The candidate approached his social networks to send a strong message to his opponent: “Three phrases that you will never see in a headline about me: Palm Beach, Mega mansion, Involved in immigration fraud”.

For his part, former Governor Ed Rendell defended him from the criticism he suffered: “He may not look like a Senate candidate for New York or California, but he’s fine for Pennsylvania. He is a very credible candidate for the working class.”
