"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.

The only actual experience Dr. Oz has in federal gov was being called before the Senate in 2014 and admitting he used false claims (aka lied) to personally enrich himself.
