Kathy Barnette and the Pennsylvania primary

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/05/kathy_barnette_and_the_pennsylvania_primary.html

Excerpt

.....the normal vetting process did not occur, due to the exigent time restrictions and the sheer number of candidates.

Ms. Kathy Barnette, who is running for the U.S. Senate, ran two years ago for a different position. She lost mightily. Much has been made of the canceling and then reinstating of Barnette’s political website. But not much has been made of an important former political position Barnette held just two years ago, and then canceled.

In 2020, Barnette ran for the U.S. House of Representatives. Then-president Trump had decided, after multiple statues had been toppled, that he was going to create a United States Garden of Statues. Trump issued a list of 250 candidates, from all the centuries of America’s existence and diverse areas of life, to be included in the Garden. Barack Obama was not on Trump’s list. Barnette thought Obama should be included and highlighted this belief on her political website.

This author, assuredly among others, asked Barnette to remove Obama from her website. While one understood Barnette’s pride in a fellow African American having been president, a Republican candidate should not be so moved. Or at least not so publicly. Barnette’s advocacy for Obama was not removed!

What is emerging, through Barnette’s own words, is a candidate who thinks America is systemically racist, now, in 2022, and that Barnette is running in the wrong party.

Barnette has a résumé of lists. Generic products without brand names: adjunct professor — where and when? Military service for ten years: where and when?

So now it is up to the primary voters. A good bet is that the State Committee will not forgo candidate endorsements ever again.

We know lots of much worse things about Oz.

Trump’s only argument for why we should vote for Oz is that he can win in the general and he isn’t McCormick.

Barnette can win in the general, her odds are better than those for Oz.
Barnette is not McCormick and is not as bad as Oz.

What makes this all the more ironic is that while the Oz campaign is falsely smearing Barnette as a BLM supporter, Oz himself actually was a supporter of the movement. He’s even gone so far as to push the “systemic racism” narrative that Democrats have made a centerpiece of their politics.
