Summary:
Hannity says I like Kathy. She was very nice when I interviewed her. But the problem is we are now looking at a MUST HOLD Republican seat if the Republicans want to ever take the majority in the Senate.
She in this race has NEVER been vetted because frankly up until this point her polling didn’t warrant it.
In 2020 she lost her general election race by a whopping 20 points.
Also today (yesterday) when the Washington Examiner reached out to her campaign, she failed to respond to very simple and straightforward questions about her candidacy.
These were questions like where was she an adjunct professor and where was she an adjunct professor.
And when did she move from Virginia to Pennsylvania?
While Kathy claims to be a MAGA conservative, she has a very troubling history of attacking Donald Trump.
During the 2016 primary season she tweeted (there are A LOT of tweets): Did you see the last primary debate, Trump was HORRID.
She follows that up with Trump is JUST AS LIBERAL as Democrat leaders we currently have in office, #MoralityMatters and Trump doesn’t rank high in it.
She also wrote, Trump is good for BEERS and barbeque, NOT as a President.
She claims Trump’s moral character is questionable. And she even tweets to GLENN BECK why does Hannity support unprincipled Donald Trump?
It gets worse, more resurfaced tweets get even more disturbing. One from her Twitter account in 2016 writes, don’t we get it, Obama is a Muslim!
From another, she writes “please PRAY for my babies and me, we are about to board a plane and there is a homosexual female” and linking out to a Facebook post.
Moments ago one of Hannity’s producers reached out to Kathy Barnette. She claims she CANNOT RECALL the context about the tweet about Obama or any of the other controversial quotes.
When asked about the tweet about boarding the plane, she said to Hannity’s producer, quote, “I would never say that, those are not my words.”
Is she claiming that her Twitter account was hacked? It’s on her official account.
So with only 6 days to go there are real serious open questions. Where she truly stands on issues and whether or not she can win a general election.
Republicans and Conservatives better get these answers before next Tuesday.
Hannity has been open and excited about his support for Oz as the ONLY America First Candidate in this race. Oz is endorsed by Trump. Hannity has pointed out repeatedly that Oz is pro-life, strong on crime on crime, tough on China, strong on the border, and supports our second Amendment, etc.
And one very important point. Oz is BY FAR the one Republican candidate that WILL WIN the general. This seat is a MUST WIN if Republicans have any chance to take the Senate in November.
Unlike Barnette, Oz is battled tested and vetted and he can win in November.
Hannity has looked at Kathy’s NUMEROUS comments about Obama, NUMBEROUS incendiary comments about Muslims, association with QAnon, controversial comments regarding race, trashing of Trump again and gain, many incendiary remarks about gays and lesbians.
She has NOT been vetted. And ase wee look at this information and these comments and nobody brought it up prior to today. Hannity says he does NOT see ANY WAY, ANY SCENARIO that she can win a general election.
That is his 35 years of broadcasting opinion.
She refuses to answer questions about her record, she is a mystery. Barnette has expressed mixed feelings about George Washington, the founding President, she has petitioned to build a statue for Obama when she claims to be a conservative, I don’t know many conservatives that are fond of Obama.
Trump endorsed Oz because he can win a general election and that is the most important factor.
Barnette says she is an outsider but she is the worst insider. She already lost running as the Republican in 2020 by 20 points to a pretty weak Democrat. She has all kinds of homophobic comments, all kinds of phobic comments, she is the best chance for Democrats to win. She will be a gift to Chuck Schumer.
The swamp trying to do everything they can to stop Trump’s endorsement of Oz and to stop Trump. PERIOD.
The Club for Growth is putting in money into her campaign to hurt Trump. The same as they did in Ohio. The Club For Growth needs to be asked if they stand behind these comments. ALL OF THEM. Because Hannity has a PILE THIS HIGH of them.
This is not one comment, a one off situation, this is not 20 years ago, this is recent stuff.
Hannity doesn’t believe in boycotts or canceling.
But he says, “My opinion as a broadcaster, she CANNOT WIN a general election which may explain why she lost her last general election by 20 points in a Congressional election 2 years ago.”
We have a couple days to go to fix this.
In the next 24-72 hours this is going to become a political earthquake in this primary. Because now people are going to see voluminous amounts of material that they have not seen on Kathy Barnette.
And this is not to be against her. The question is very simple. How can you be a MAGA conservative and trash Trump all the time? Kathy Barnette at the debate said Trump wasn’t MAGA. He came to her and adopted her ideas. Doesn’t make any sense. That’s the level of competency that she has.
She is a mystery person. WE don’t know much about her and she is not willing to share. So it raises additional flags. We are finding things out every hour of every day.
It will be fodder for the Democrats. This is our seat to lose, folks.
Oz is confident he can win and that is why Trump is so strong in his endorsement. We don’t want to throw this away on a candidate that is not well vetted.
Hannity says that he has warned that when primaries become as contentious as this one, he looked at ads about Oz, he has known him, he did his own vetting with Trump, he did his own vetting process with Oz, confirms it was intensive and he got all the right answers, and that is why he is supporting Oz. They did the same with Donald Trump, they are doing the same here with Oz.
Do your homework. This is too important to make a mistake with.
I am fine with her. Oz has said and done far worse.
Dr. Oz will never stand up to the democrat machine and the democrat media, Hollywood - he will cave immediately after the primary if he wins.
She’s not a mystery person. She got 40% in her congressional run in a new district that hasn’t elected a Pubbie. That was 7 points better than the last candidate the GOP ran there—and better than Trump himself did in her district in 2020.
And of course she was vetted in order to be the GOP’s nominee back then. Hannity is a hitman trying trying to get his uniparty operative (Oz, think Murkowski in a tie) in.
It will be interesting to see who wins. I could see slimy McCormick, coming off 13 years, including the last 5 years as Dalio’s hand-picked CEO at Bridgewater, the massive and massively China- (and rumored CIA) intertwined hedge fund that is one of just 100 “strategic partners” for the WEF, slipping by as the nominee.
“Hannity has pointed out repeatedly that Oz is pro-life, strong on crime on crime, tough on China, strong on the border, and supports our second Amendment, etc.”
Yet if we go back to his statements in 2016 or before as they are doing for Barnette, I believe his stance on all those issues was different. So good for the gander, good for the goose.
“In 2020 she lost her general election race by a whopping 20 points.”
So squish Hannity is repeating the same out of context bullshit as the other RINOs. I’m not going to bother dealing with idiots on *every* propaganda thread posted by Dr. Oz’ Fart Sniffers, but here’s a hint for you:
The percentage a candidate gets in one heavily-Democrat gerrymandered district doesn’t reflect the state as a whole.
Barnette got 40% here. Trump got 37% here in 2016 and WON statewide. News for the morons: 40 is more than 37. Now does that necessarily mean Barnette will do better than Trump statewide?
Not if the “Republicans For Fetterman” backstabbers can help it, she won’t. But anyone who can do basic math can see what kind of stupidity “sHe lOst bY 20 pOinTs so sHe cAn’t wIn” is.
Screw Oz. He will be another Romney, a fake.
In what sense is this guy "battle-tested"? What elections has he won? Is there any history of campaigning we can examine and say "yes, this guy can give as good as he gets?"
I personally see a very large difference between not liking Donald Trump in 2016, and not being a real conservative. And honestly, it doesn't bother me if someone attacked Trump for not being conservative enough, because that was a legitimate concern in 2016. Doesn't seem like there is any chance that this lady would.go to D.C. and not be a real conservative.
I think Oz is fool's gold to win a general election. He's slimy, pure celebrity, and I think the Dems will clobber him. I'd sooner vote for McCormick if winning the seat was all that mattered.
DR. OZ...
* Mystic Muslim whose worldview goes against the U.S. Constitution
* Dual citizen voting in the last Turkey election
* Pro-abortion, Transgender rights
Just a few reasons to say Stick to Showbiz. Stay out of pitics.
While she initially was skeptical about Trump, later in 2016 she was an enthusiastic supporter:
“On our way to vote for Trump”

Meanwhile, Oz served in the Turkish military and voted in Turkish elections.

In 2016, I had SEVERE questions about Donald Trump. His friendship with the Clintons; his political endorsement of Bill Clinton; his previous pro-abortion positions; his involvement with the prostitution, abortion, racketeering and money-laundering-dominated casino industry. After Democrats in sheep’s clothing like Romney, Dole, McCain, etc., I expected this was just another billionaire lobby’s attack on real conservatism.
I am very happy to have been wrong, no happier than when his Supreme Court nominees drafted an opinion to overturn Roe v Wade. But should conservatives really attack a woman for having doubts about Trump’s authenticity?
I don’t trust Barnette. Or Oz.
This week. He wasn't before he started running. Plenty of tweets and video prove that.
Kathy Barnette has been consistently conservative on the issues from teh get-go.
Get along go along RINOs like Oz and McCormick are as "electable" as Romney and McCain. Remember, Trump couldn't win, and neither could Reagan. Pick the "can't win" candidate and you'll win more often than not.
“Hannity doesn’t believe in boycotts or canceling.”
Yet ...
If those are really her tweets the rats will shove them down the voters throats and she’ll lost in the general.
Big problem.
Ah, the ever-popular “Must Hold” seat....
Like the one Mitchie has? Or Snow, or Murkowski, or pick your RINO of choice...
Stop playing their game.
Does anyone under 70 watch Hannity?
In 2016 I agreed with her sentiments about Trump. I didn’t trust him at the time. I still voted for him over Hillary. It was how he governed as POTUS that won me over. I don’t blame anyone for being skeptical in 2016.
