Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman (D-PA) dropped yet another viral online attack Thursday on his Republican opponent, Mehmet Oz, in the state’s U.S. Senate race.

Fetterman, who is set to start campaigning again following a stroke just before winning his primary, has been trolling Oz hard on Twitter in recent weeks – calling attention in particular to Oz’s New Jersey residence. Oz has been under fire throughout his Senate run in Pennsylvania as he has been a longtime New Jersey resident and used the home of family members to register as a candidate in the state.

“Hey, Mehmet, this is Nicole “Snooki,” and I am from Jersey Shore, don’t know if you have seen it before,” began the Jersey Shore reality TV star whose real name is Nicole LaValle.

“But I heard that you moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania to look for a new job,” LaValle continues in the video, which is a cameo.

“Personally, I don’t why anyone would want to leave New Jersey because we are all hot messes, but I want to say best of luck to you,” said LaValle. “I know you’re away from home and you’re in a new place but Jersey will never forget you.”

Fetterman shared the cameo, which is an app that allows users to pay for and “request a personalized video message” from celebrities, with the message:

Hey @DrOz
JERSEY loves you + will not forget you!!!
