Fox News said that Roizen claimed that Oz\u2019s involvement in the columns was \u201cminimal,\u201d even though Oz\u2019s name still appears on the byline. Roizen said that an error was made about including Oz\u2019s name on certain columns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Oz believes every law-abiding American should be allowed to buy a gun of their choice and he will support legislation in the U.S. Senate that protects our right to keep and bear arms,\u201d Oz\u2019s campaign claimed. \u201cHe does not support any measures that infringe on the Second Amendment and will oppose them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arthur Schwartz, a top Republican operative and advisor to Donald Trump, Jr. who is not associated with any Pennsylvania primary campaigns, slammed Oz\u2019s remarks, saying that voters were not buying his campaign\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s most striking about this is that Oz thinks that Pennsylvania Republicans are dumb enough to buy this nonsense,\u201d said Schwartz. \u201cNo one actually believes that he was so offended by the content of these columns that he waited until he was running for senate in a Republican primary to disown them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dave McCormick, the leading Republican candidate in the race, slammed Oz, saying in a statement that Oz \u201chas a long public record and history of being enthusiastically anti-Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has supported red flag laws and sided with extreme left gun grabbers to try to take away guns from Americans,\u201d McCormick\u2019s campaign continued. \u201cNow Mehmet is hoping PA voters will forget he is anti-gun and the fact he will not support our constitutional right\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox News noted that Oz has \u201cpreviously voiced support for \u2018red flag\u2019 laws, which would allow the government to confiscate guns from individuals without proof of malicious intent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oz, who has a history of donating to Democrats, was grilled by Fox News in December on issues that matter most to conservative voters, including guns and abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News \u201cPrimetime\u201d co-host Will Cain specifically pressed Oz on his abortion views, including on when he believes life begins, which he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-fox-news-grills-senate-candidate-dr-oz-on-when-life-begins-oz-refuses-to-answer\">refused to answer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
