Who is Kathy Barnette?
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/11/2022 | Salena Zito

Posted on 05/11/2022 9:43:55 AM PDT by TexasGurl24

Barnette, in her bio on her webpage, says: "Appearing regularly on national TV and radio, Kathy Barnette is a veteran, former adjunct professor of corporate finance, sought-after conference speaker, and conservative political commentator. Next up — Kathy is taking on Washington D.C. and is running for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania."

The bio also reads: "Kathy served her country proudly for 10 years in the Armed Forces Reserves where she was accepted into Officer Candidacy School. She worked with two major financial firms in corporate America and sat on the board of a pregnancy crisis center for five years."

The questions to the campaign, which said it doubted whether she would have time for an interview because she was booked for interviews continuously until Election Day, were pretty straightforward and simple:

The name of her hometown Where was she an adjunct professor and when? When was she in officer candidate school? What financial institutions did she work at and when? When did she move from Virginia to Pennsylvania? (She says in her book bio from 2018 that she lived in Virginia, so what year did she move to Pennsylvania?) And a confirmation that the college she graduated from was Troy State University. The reply from the campaign manager noted, “Kathy keeps her early life as private as possible as I am sure you can understand why” — a reference one could surmise was to her life story, which she told compellingly in an ad this past week about being the child of rape.

She could be hiding nothing. She could be hiding everything. We don’t know because there are no answers. While people hold a strong distaste for the press, many level-headed conservatives who really want to win this seat in November...

It was Barnette’s debate performance that got her into the top tier. She’s best equipped to take on the slick politicians seeking the Dhimmicrap nomination.

She’s the one who gives voters the clearest contrast and the clearest choice. McCormick and Oz are McConnell type get along, go along Republicans. They’re better than any Democrats, but that’s mostly because Democrats are crazy.

It seems like virtually every time the Republicans nominate the person who can’t win, they win.

Based on the main topic of the article at the top of this thread, I'm trying to figure out what would have been included in her Wikipedia page to begin with.

Her LinkedIn profile doesn't list anything before 2016.

Does anyone here on FR know anything about her other than what she's presented in her campaign materials?

Oz is one of those candidates the Establishement sends out there to divert conservative voters.

She needs to say whether she graduated or not, not just leave it unsaid.

You don’t invoke OCS and try to use it as a resume enhancer if you aren’t prepared to answer questions about it.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

there are dozens of people every year that may be “accepted” to attend the military academies, but do not graduate or even attend the military academy.

there could be any number of valid reasons why Kathy did not graduate or even attend OCS after she was “accepted” to OCS.

Wikipedia took her page down as soon as she showed up in the top tier of GOP candidates. It’s as if they wanted to deny her existence to move voters to Oz or McCormick. Wikipedia is run by lefties. If Barnette wanted her page taken down, tehy wouldn’t have done it.

“It seems like virtually every time the Republicans nominate the person who can’t win, they win.”

Not always, of course. There’s a certain bloc of alleged Republican voters (Kansas is a great example of this) who demand absolute party unity whenever one of their beloved “pragmatic” RINOs wins a contentious primary against a conservative.

But when the conservative (who CAN’T win!!!!) actually does win the primary, these same voters shit all over the concept of party unity and run shrieking hysterically to the left.

Then when the conservative loses in the general election — following a great deal of RINO help for the Democrat in terms of votes, money and media coverage — those same liberal Republicans who ensured the Democrat victory get to squeal: “See, we told you so!!! Your guy COULDN’T WIN!!!!”

Fact is, their most fervent wish is that no conservative win anywhere, and they do their best to create that outcome.

We don’t need another Roy Moore, Sharon Angle, Todd Akin or Christine O’Donnell.

And that's why neitehr McCormick nor Oz should be nominated.

Oz can win and we must push the fact that the 2020 election was stolen right here in Pennsylvania. We have to keep pushing that thread they stole it.1100 mules in Philadelphia and they’re going to steal it again. Every debate team must pounded that they stole the election and come up with facts right in their face they stole the election. Only the hard-core Democrats will come out and vote the rest will stay home because of guilt. Everyone is not as dirty as the hard-core Democrats are. They effing stole the election every Democrat is guilty pound with the ground game.

Barnette will be crushed in the general

I know you want people to believe this, but I would bet the opposite. Great life story, very articulate, appeals to the outsider vote, and her opponent will either be c full-fledged communist or a crazy radical progressive.

What doctor Oz doesn’t have a great life story? That is running thin around here. I have a great life story so what?

The Democrats in Pennsylvania are living this. An Unvetted supporter of black lives matter and George Floyd protests who claims to be conservative has NO CHANCE Of winning the general election. The left is cheating her in. Nobody knows who this person is!

Can you glean anything from her listed dates of service? 1989-1999.

Not really. That was ten years after I moved on to civilian business life. The military has very obviously changed a lot since I got out in 1980. The Army culture changed dramatically after 1975. I didn't like it so I quit after 14 years service. That turned out to be the right move for me.

KATHY BARNETTE wishes she was in Minneapolis to "honor GEORGE FLOYD" and JOIN the BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS. Knock yourself out Kathy! After you LOSE you can volunteer and protest for "Racial Justice" with Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger and AL SHARPTON. pic.twitter.com/jOrRcLEw5E— Greg Kelly (@gregkellyusa) May 11, 2022

IF the reports about Barnette are true and she's deliberately misleading the public, she should do the right thing and step down from the race. Lying about one's military service to get into office is flat out wrong. (Sidney Blumenthal anyone?)

She didn't lie. It is an honor even to be accepted into Officers' Candidate School. I always include my time at the University of Chicago undergrad, even though I transferred and graduated from Christendom College. U of C even considers me an "alumnus", though I wouldn't hold it against the school if it didn't.

Anyway, for some employers, even being accepted and having attended U of C is considered a marker of intelligence and ability. It is not a lie for me to provide accurate information for them to make their own judgement, even though my degree is from Christendom.

Don't ask a good conservative to drop out unless you have someone better in mind.

He endorsed Oz, because he wants Oprah as his VP, if he runs in 2024, and he wants her to take over when he retires.

I don’t happen to share your outrage.

How others will feel remains to be seen.

My uncle underwent elite astronautical training during the 1950s, when dogs and monkeys were being sent into space. As top physics student at Princeton, he regularly stood in for Albert Einstein as his TA. He was so accomplished at gymnastics that they built an entire athletic program around him, yet there were no competitions in the early days.

There wasn’t much in the way of formal titles and degrees to show for all his achievements, but you can bet that he included them in his CV!
