Media complain about being 'blocked' from Kathy Barnette event
twitter ^ | May 15 | Robert Costa

To recap: Many outlets, inc @CBSNew, arrived around 12 noon in Bucks County to cover surging Sen. candidate Kathy Barnette at an event publicly listed as her final rally before she faces voters. From the start, a security team of at least 5 physically blocked us from entering...

The guards refused to give names or say whether they worked for Barnette or Trump-endorsed PA GOV candidate Mastriano. Whenever we stepped forward, they blocked us. We were civil & careful to not physically provoke in order to avoid altercation, but still rep. tried to move fwd.

We pushed for a spokesperson for the campaign to appear. Anyone. Give us clarity. Why were we not allowed to come in? What's the deal? The security guards said nothing, kept blocking us. When we pushed harder for an answer, they brought more guards over and...

produced a letter purportedly from the venue saying we couldn't even sit or move toward the bar/food area on the premises even though it was open to the public. We were stopped from even doing that by guards who warned us not to move an inch past them.

To conclude, what struck me was how no explanation was offered. No Barnette or Mastriano aides formally addressed the press despite repeated calls to do so. No one offered explanation for conduct of guards + refusal to allow reporters to simply cover a now major Senate campaign.

Costa I believe not. Where are the films of them being blocked from the event?

Hey @jackposobiec @JDRucker - just spoke with the head of communications and marketing at Judson University in Illinois. She confirmed that @Kathy4Truth was an adjunct at the school. Perhaps folks should consider fact-checking before slinging mud.

It's interesting that no one really question Oz all that much and no one questions McCormick at all but Barnette must prove everything she says. She also released the DD214 everyone's been screaming for even though she had already released some military records that show her service. But they weren't the precious DD214. Where's Oz's Turkish military records?

Thank you very much. I’m just so afraid of getting another AOC, Omar, etc. in there.

She lied about her DD214. She claimed she did a full 3 years in the army and it was only 4 months.

You’re absolutely right she knows what people want to hear. ...however does she believe what she’s saying - I don’t think she does. She’s far to much of a comentator without substance. I think she’s way too combative and does have racial issues.

Paperwork aside for 10 years as a weekend warrior in the reserves she showed little accomplishment. ....in fact she dosn’t have any record of accomplisments that would set her apart or give me any reason to think she’d do well in the political arena other than serve her own activist interests.

Not enough to get my vote - not even close. I don’t vote based on social issues. I want to investigate the person, their achievements, their overall personality and background. Other than another activist black woman I don’t see her for more than that ...there’s enough screeching black and white women in Washington.

Who needs presstitutes at a time like this?
