Mehmet Oz is once again trying to cast doubt on the public healthcare system. 
“When you corrupt the practices that rot out the foundation of the boat that we’re all in together and we start taking on water, we can start pointing fingers,” he said Tuesday. 
“But when everyone is doing it—which is maybe the most important quote from this press conference not said by any of us up here—that’s a real pathology. 
Because then if you’re not part of the corrupt system, you’re a fool.” 
Oz continued, “When I’m lying to you and you know I’m lying to you and I know that you know that I’m lying to you and on and on and on—that’s how countries collapse.” 
His attempts to paint healthcare initiatives as rampant with corruption are particularly ironic, considering that he is a member of the most transparently corrupt administration in U.S. history. 
Though the shamelessness of the MAGA movement has rendered irony virtually meaningless.
