Doctor Links 'Low T' to Men Who Vote for Clinton
A Florida doctor is under fire for a commercial warning men who are considering voting for Hillary Clinton that they might have low testosterone levels.
A Fort Myers doctor says if you are a man thinking about voting for Hillary Clinton, you may need to have your testosterone checked.
It's a controversial commercial hitting Southwest Florida airwaves.
The doctor says it's a humorous way to promote his business and also join the political discussion. But some radio listeners aren't laughing.
“Most are not aware of the effect low T can have on your mental state. For instance your ability to focus and think clearly," he said.
Dr. Dareld Morris of Morris Medical and Weight Loss Center in Fort Myers is issuing a warning to all men regarding their testosterone levels.
"As a community service, for any guys out there that are thinking of voting for Hillary, I want to offer you a free testosterone test. Let’s see if we can help," Dr. Morris says in his ad.
"I think it's pretty hilarious," said Paul Holz
"I honestly feel like he's a pinhead for saying that," said Tedazia Vinders.
We talked to Dr. Morris who says he "leans right" and just wanted to make a humorous political statement while promoting his practice.
"I'm actually voting for Donald Trump, so I think it's even more funnier."
At a Hillary Clinton office opening in Dunbar Thursday, some people were talking about the radio commercial.
"The person who really needs some testosterone probably, after his Monday night performance, would be Donald Trump," said Yoseph Tedros of the Lee County Democratic Party.
"Just because a man is voting for a woman, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. It's sexist," Vinders said.
Dr. Morris told us he doesn't want to upset anyone. He said he's already received calls from both Republicans and Democrats saying it's funny.
"You shouldn't mix business with politics," said Tashara Brown.
The doctor told us he honestly wants to see if there is a correlation between your health and your political views. He claims he is using this as an experiment.
