I know Kathy. My wife and I voted for her.

Excellent. Glad to know there's some first-hand knowledge of her.

Do you know anything about post# 13.
Thanks

She’s a product of a rape?? Her mother was 11?? Not sure what I believe. Would like a little DNA to resolve my doubts.

[conservative98]

She is a longshot for a reason. Trump supports the MAGA candidate that can win. Take back the House and the Senate and Barnett will get a job in 2024 in the Trump administration. She is not without options but it’s not her moment. This is not the time to put up someone who you have fallen in love with. We need a guy who has testosterone and that is Dr. Oz. Her time will be 2024. If want to for in love with someone jump on Kari Lake.

If she wins the primary, how much support will she get from PA & national GOP & Trump?

[Cboldt]

National GOP/RNC will try to bury her. Trump would likely support.

[CarolinaReaganFan]

Is Bannon supporting her?
no more RINO’s
hope she wins

[kvanbrunt2]

She started a petition for an obama statue to be erected at some emancipation museum maybe in Gettysburg. Sounds appropriate. he was a half black two term president.

I’ve been following her for a while and every time I email them they DO NOT give a political BS response.....it’s REAL. She has my vote and now my wife just flipped to her as well.

[chickenlips]

Are you saying snake oil salesman have high testosterone?

Remember, Turkish citizens make the best America First senators.

[Mr. Lucky]

Well said.

“I am the byproduct of a rape. My mother was 11 years old when I was conceived, my father was 21​.”

Twelve years old with a child. Kinda hard to imagine.

Ace said it better than I could, so I'm just posting his comment here:

I'm not sure that an "Ultra-MAGA" type is the right fit for Pennsylvania, but this is probably the right time to gamble, given that the alternatives are poor. The rule that we should vote for "the most conservative candidate who can win" presupposes that we are voting for a conservative in the first place, after all. I don't know that McCormick or Oz satisfy that prerequisite. There is simply no point electing yet another Establishment liberal to the Senate. They are Democrats in all but name. Yes, they will vote for Mitch McConnell's eternal agenda of corporate tax cuts but I'm quite sure I no longer give a shit about Mitch McConnell's eternal agenda of corporate tax cuts.

With the other two choices on the ballot, who cares if she can win?  Maybe time to send a message to the GOPe that we want some real conservatives and populists on our side for a change.

It’s nice of Politico to give Ms. Barnette some exposure, don’t you think? This may allow some people who have not taken a close look at her to do so now and work to increase her support.

[House Atreides]

I’m inspired to get a new tagline: see below.

[Greenidgypsy]

Yes….listen to the last Debate on Newsmax , Kathy explains her story.
And she had a change .org petition to save the Abraham Lincoln statue from being torn down. She said put Obama s family on one side and another famous black American, Douglas, on the other. It would create a story in a sense of black history in our country. But you could tell it was to save the Lincoln statue with slaves at his feet. Very thoughtful on her part…and you could tell she had studied the problem.
I cannot vote for the other 2. I’m tired of being screwed over by the GOPe
I’m voting her Kathy.

[HamiltonJay]

Yes, apparently she voiced some support to having a statue for Obama... as far as I know no support for his policies... Just a black woman supporting the idea of building a statue of the first black President.

Other thing making the rounds are folks retweeting things she said negative against Trump back in September 2015 during the primaries where she was backing Walker.

If saying something bad about Trump in the primaries of 2016, particularly early in the primaries of 2016 is a disqualification, then nearly everyone on Free Republic is disqualified.

She must really be a real threat, and Oz and McCormick’s internal polling must agree with the public polls, because the mud slinging against here has started.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Good. Thanks for the info.

Maybe Trump likes her and knows we will vote for her anyway. Then the libs can cry because us racist conservatives voted for a black woman over a white guy even when Trump endorsed him.
