People are roasting Dr. Mehmet after the GOP nominee for senator for Pennsylvania mistakenly made an unforced error by grouping grouped the Keystone State with those bordering the ocean.
The guff came during a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity on Monday, in which the former talk-show doctor declared:
“This is important: We do not have a Republican senator north of North Carolina on the Atlantic coast until you get to Maine, if I don’t hold this seat.”
Of course, Pennsylvania does not touch the Atlantic Ocean, which led people to roast the TV doctor-turned-politician.

Hey “doc” your home in NJ might be on the water, but PA has no coastline the last time I checked.

Maybe he’s just confused since New Jersey is on the coast and that’s the state where he actually lives.

If you want to be a senator on the east coast, you should have stayed in New Jersey, get a map please.

Tell me you think you live in New Jersey while pretending to tell me that you live in Pennsylvania.

Dear @DrOz,
The State of Pennsylvania is not “on the coast.” It does not border the Atlantic Ocean. There’s this other state called New Jersey that’s in between Pennsylvania and the coast.
How did you possibly confuse the … oh, wait. Never mind. I think I understand.#PASen pic.twitter.com/dbPVxmV5h4
