It's all Oprah's fault.
He's probably steamed that Oz got picked and not him, so he's showing how much he loves the taste of boot in the hopes that Trump will notice him.
It's a damn TV show to them.
Thanks Oprah, I hate him. (for Dr. Oz too)
I have no idea why Oprah gets so much praise when she launched these two pieces of shit into the world.
Oprah herself was picked for her role because she was explicitly a neo-liberal individualist who did not believe that structural systems where as relevant as how an individual 'feels'.
There's a quote that came up in a 1989 profile of Oprah in the New York Times,
“When Winfrey was hired for AM Chicago, the station manager was, according to her executive producer, Deborah Dimaio, delighted that he had managed to find someone who wasn't, an "Angela Davis type who'd pickett the station with a gun in her hair."
And platforming Jenny McCarthy's antivax bullshit.
Also idk if they got their starts on Oprah specifically, but Marianne Wilkinson and Deepak Chopra. She's like patient zero of woo woo bullshit.
Don't watch it.. out time is their currency..ignore the idiots..
Don't buy from any company that advertises on his show.
Every low for that man just feels like a challenge to plunge the depths of further immorality.
Behind the Bastards had a very thorough series on him. Bonus, they're doing Oprah right now.
Bring back pillory.
We should start building oubliettes in sewage treatment facilities.
This guy still licensed to practice medicine related to psychology? Because this feels like the sort of hobby that would increase psychological issues in the targets, thus promoting worse outcomes in the future. Would a Chicago social worker jump on board, or be horrified because they know what happens to children and other innocent parties when these things go down and it's messed up to treat them like a COD mission or LARP?
He has not been licensed to practice since 2006. He's never had a license to practice in California at all, where his show is recorded.
Firstly he's not a doctor. He's a fraud.
Secondly, there's nothing dangerous about tagging along with a bunch of thugs rounding up scared unarmed undocumented immigrants.
He has a PhD in clinical psychology. He's a doctor.
Still a piece of shit, though.
