It just hasn't been noticed because the focus has been on Oz and McCormick," Chen said Friday. At one debate, Barnette responded to a statement about Oz's endorsement by Trump saying she embodied an "America First" agenda. “She claims to have served 10 years in the Army Reserves and to have been accepted for officer training. "Its probably a little bit of both, to be honest. "She's not answering these questions. "Much more needs to be known before Republican voters send Kathy Barnette into a bruising fall campaign. Political strategist Sam Chen, a founder of Allentown-based The Liddle Group, said her popularity now is probably a mix of the focus being off Barnette and also her campaign working to connect more directly with voters on the ground. Barnette has also criticized the media for not paying closer attention to her sooner and chastised the political punches coming her way as she becomes a true competitor to Oz and McCormick. In the story, the Washington Examiner included a list of basic background questions regarding some vague details on Barnette’s campaign website, such as the name of the hometown in Alabama where she claims she grew up, when she moved to Pennsylvania from Virginia as claimed in a 2018 biography and when she was in officer candidate school in the Reserves. It's hard to find more details on Barnette online beyond what she's driven into her public campaign persona as a political outsider who will represent the people better than "globalists" like Oz and McCormick, who was until very recently was polling just behind Oz in a race with about 40% undecided GOP voters. "The mindset of a Muslim is very different from the mindset of Americans. And that’s the reason why we cannot fully understand the level — the depth of the depravity, the depth of the evil because it’s just not a part of the American fabric for the most part,” Barnette said at a speaking event in February 2016 posted on her YouTube page. Kathy Barnette was for months a long shot to take the Republican ballot spot in the race for the Senate in Pennsylvania.

Former president Donald Trump, GOP rivals target Kathy Barnette, little-known candidate who is suddenly surging in Pennsylvania primary race.

“On May 17th, Vote Kathy Barnette for US Senate. She has my full endorsement!!” Trump’s criticism of Barnette in his statement Thursday stands in sharp contrast to her full embrace of the former president. While Oz has been viewed as a top contender for weeks, especially after the Trump endorsement, his surrogates have increased their attacks on Barnette in recent days. In a campaign video and multiple interviews on conservative media, Barnette has said that she was born in southern Alabama to a 12-year-old mother who was raped. I know Kathy can win in November. I am proud to support her and look forward to working with @Kathy4Truth when she is elected in November!” McCormick and Oz have tapped their personal wealth and networks to spend several million on the race, while Barnette, who has raised just $1.8 million, only has $217,076 cash on hand, according to the latest Federal Election Commission report. “The coordinated attacks to discredit her are shameful. Barnette, a fierce opponent of abortion, gun control and universal health care, has spent much of her campaign attacking some of the Democratic Party’s most influential leaders. It was President Trump who shifted and aligned with our values.” She was raised in poverty and eventually joined the Army National Guard before launching an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2020. A recent Fox News poll showed Oz with 22 percent support; McCormick, the former CEO of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, with 20 percent; and Barnette at 19 percent. Barnette, 50, is a political commentator, author and home-schooling mother who has criticized public education and undocumented immigrants.

Trump warned Republicans Thursday that Barnette's history will preclude her from winning a general election in PA.

Not just in Pennsylvania, but for our nation," she said. - "[W]e know that President Trump does not mince words," she said. Okay, I would have never said that, because I don't believe that.” - Trump said there are many things that have "not been properly explained or vetted" about her past. I would never have said that. "He’s a very straight shooter.

But 2022 isn't 2016, and primaries aren't general elections. If Barnette becomes the GOP nominee, she will have to make her case to purplish Pennsylvania, which ...

So this race is winnable for the GOP — with the right candidate. The other two GOP contenders, TV’s Dr. Mehmet Oz (who has the coveted Trump endorsement) and ex-Bridgewater CEO David McCormick have been through the opposition-research wringer already. True, her insurgent campaign for the Senate has gained massive momentum before Tuesday’s primary. We can’t take Dr. Oz seriously as a candidate. (The damage they’ve done each other is the big reason she has a chance.) Barnette as a late breaker has yet to face the same scrutiny — but will if she’s the nominee. But 2022 isn’t 2016, and primaries aren’t general elections.

The enemy is #Islam!” and “Pedophilia is a Cornerstone of Islam.” CORRECTION: Senate candidate Kathy Barnette voted in the 2016 primary and general elections. But eventually reporters were allowed back in for a few minutes — and Ms. Barnette said Mr. Trump’s comments were “favorable” of her. An advertisement with her mom, telling their life stories growing up Black and poor in Alabama on a pig farm, has also gone viral on social media in recent days. For example in this race, Mr. Oz frequently says he grew up in Pennsylvania “10 miles south” of Kennett Square, which is Delaware. Or Mr. McCormick previously claimed he created more than 1,000 jobs as a businessman in Pittsburgh. WESA found that his former company grew by 600 jobs while he was there, but it does not say where they were based. Ms. Barnette’s candidacy shot up in the midst of the leaked draft opinion about the landmark Roe v. A vote for anyone else [but Mr. Oz] is a vote against Victory in the Fall!” For example, Ms. Barnette says she is a 10-year veteran. During a debate last week at Grove City College, Ms. Barnette said her mother had conceived her after being raped at age 11. Key Republican politicians, from Donald Trump to Pat Toomey, have in recent days tried to warn GOP voters of the peril of nominating this relative unknown. Ms. Barnette’s sudden ascension has attracted the kind of scrutiny front-runners usually experience early in their campaigns, but it’s coming less than one week before the May 17 primary. “After we’ve done everything we know to do, stand.

"We have the right to discriminate against worldviews because all views are not morally equal," she added. , Barnette attacked the transgender former reality star and Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner as "deformed" and "demonic," while attacking what she called a "barrage to normalize sexual perversion." They are people that have a particular view of the world, and we have a right to discriminate against worldviews," she said. "We discriminated against Hitler's Nazi Germany view of the world, right? So we have the right to reject it. "All views are not equal. Barnette has had a quick and unpredicted rise in the polls ahead of next Tuesday's primary. In comments on her radio show, she said accepting homosexuality would lead to the accepting of incest and pedophilia. We rejected Stalin's view ... of the world, right?

Kathy Barnette has gone from virtual nobody to virtual front-runner in Pennsylvania's Republican Senate contest — and now she's facing the heat.

Her campaign produced a moving video with her discussing how she was conceived when her mother was raped at 11-years-old. But neither paid the low-funded Barnette much mind, allowing her to sneak into what polls show is a three-way tie for the lead. “When Donald Trump talked about the swamp, he wasn’t just talking about Democrats, OK?” “She is a mystery. The video suggests she supported Black Lives Matter. The footage appears to be edited and it's unclear whether she made the statements as complete thoughts or offered other context. On Twitter, Oz supporter Ric Grenell, who served as Trump’s acting national intelligence director, has been highlighting her old tweets to his more than 840,000 Twitter followers. We can’t take a risk on this seat.” The seat is being vacated by Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, and both the GOP and Democrats see it as a place they can win. The original front-runner, Sean Parnell, had Trump’s endorsement but dropped out after losing a custody battle for his children that made public accusations of abuse by his ex-wife. Oz, meanwhile, criticized Barnette without spending a penny during a Wednesday night appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program. “Kathy Barnette will never be able to win the General Election against the Radical Left Democrats,” the former president said in a statement. With days until the May 17 primary, detractors are frantically trying to prevent her from pulling off one of the biggest political upsets of the year.

Voters will head to the polls on Tuesday. Barnette does have a striking life story, one she has been telling to grassroots voters across the state. Dr. Oz is the only one who will be able to easily defeat the Crazed, Lunatic Democrat in Pennsylvania. A vote for anyone else in the Primary is a vote against Victory in the Fall!”

Ms. Barnette has been climbing in the polls against two big-spending rivals, Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, in Pennsylvania's Republican Senate primary.

She’s direct.” “She’s pure. Alabama, in a home with no insulation, no running water,” she said. And I think they get it wrong because they don’t have our values. “People feel squeezed right now, and our country is in trouble.” “You have made me relevant,” she said. They don’t know our values here in Bucks County.” She’s honest. My children have no idea what it feels like to stand in front of an empty refrigerator door and wonder where their next meal is going to come from.” “I like the fact that she’s no nonsense.” “Outhouse in the back and a well on the side. “She’s very addictive,” said Mr. Fasci, 49, who shares Ms. Barnette’s opposition to abortion.

Influential Republicans in Washington and among the nationwide party elite are having a belated "oh s--t" moment over the previously unimaginable prospect that Kathy Barnette could win their party's nomination for the open Senate seat in Pennsylvania. - "She has many things in her past which have not been properly explained or vetted, but if she is able to do so, she will have a wonderful future in the Republican Party—and I will be behind her all the way."

“What I’m saying is, I will always work to create options for those women who find themselves in challenging positions like my mother was but I will always find options for the baby, for that life. Barnette and Mastriano, candidates who would would blow up the American Experiment with their beliefs in Big Lie election theories and erasing the lines between church and state, are poised to ride a wave of extreme voter discontentment. When Barnette was on the stage, moderator Stacy Garrity, the state treasurer, asked her about the Examiner report and her military record. And it would be good for voters to know more about Barnette’s education and other bio bullet points that describe work as an adjunct professor and in the finance industry but give zero details. There clearly should be more attention paid to Barnette’s activities around the January 6 rally and insurrection to keep Trump in office — such as this Dec. 31, 2020 video that says she’d filled two buses of attendees and was hoping to book a third. Will it help or hurt Barnette that the Wikipedia page about her mysteriously vanished in the last week of the election? I believe that is a human life and I will work vigorously to protect that life.” Will Tuesday’s primary voters be getting the Barnette who questioned Obama’s religion and even his sexuality, or the one who started a petition for a statue on the National Mall that would honor Obama and his family? With just a handful of days left before Pennsylvania voters pick the candidates for the Senate seat vacated by Republican Pat Toomey, the media is struggling with how to tell Barnette’s rags-to-political-riches story, especially when so many find the horse-race angle so compelling. It’s not just conservatives, though, who suddenly have a lot of questions about who Kathy Barnette is and what she really believes. I was able to meet Barnette away from the stage for a brief interview. “I am you,” the 50-year-old Barnette said, voicing her campaign slogan.

Fox News anchor Sean Hannity slammed Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette on Wednesday over past tweets that have resurfaced.

Finally, Hannity displayed a homophobic tweet from March 2013 that read, “Please PRAY for my babies and me. Please PRAY for my babies and me. — Kathy Barnette (@Kathy4Truth)September 29, 2015 — Kathy Barnette (@Kathy4Truth)September 29, 2015 — Kathy Barnette (@Kathy4Truth)September 27, 2015 He may have one, but there’s something on that, maybe religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim,” Trump said on Fox in 2011. — Kathy Barnette (@Kathy4Truth)September 27, 2015 He admits he went to a Muslim school. Maybe he doesn’t want that.” “He went to a Muslim school in Indonesia, or wherever it was, Kenya. I forget,” Hannity said. He did go to a Muslim school. Obama is a Muslim!’”
