Bull Market: Barnette Appears To Have Fudged Wall Street Career
Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 13, 2022 3:15 pm | Chuck Ross

Posted on 05/13/2022 1:18:41 PM PDT by conservative98

Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette says she "worked on Wall Street for many years." She's about 955 miles off.

Barnette, a conservative commentator, cited her experience on Wall Street in 2011 and 2020, and in an attack on Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. "I worked 4 years on Wall Street. Would u invest money w/ someone who was filing bankruptcy?" she wrote of Trump's finances in 2016.

But Barnette's official résumé suggests she worked far from the domain of "bulls, bears, [and] people from Connecticut." She has held three jobs in the financial services industry, according to a now-deleted LinkedIn profile. She was an associate analyst at the Missouri-based A.G. Edwards from 1997 to 1999, and a financial equity analyst at "Banc of America Capital Management," her résumé says. She described the latter as a "major Wall Street firm" but worked for the company in St. Louis.

A Washington Free Beacon geographic analysis found that Wall Street is in New York City, not St. Louis. There is a Wall Street in the midwestern town, but it is largely residential.

The inconsistency emerges as Barnette faces other questions about her background. Barnette, whose surge in polls has caught opposing GOP campaigns by surprise, gave contradictory answers about whether she voted for Trump in the 2016 primary. She claimed this week she did, but said in her 2020 book, "I didn’t vote for Trump in the primaries." Barnette opposed Trump during much of the 2016 campaign, saying his moral character was "questionable," but said she joined the "Trump train" by the general election. Barnette insisted this week she voted for Trump in 2016, but the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette reported she did not cast a ballot in Pennsylvania until 2018..

I don’t think Heidi ever said she worked ON Wall Street if she didn’t work on Wall Street, did she? As Rummy said, not accurate, more puffery because she is a dishonest lightweight grifter. Plus she was taking another shot a Trump.

She is also not owning her own tweets. Is she saying she was hacked? We have enough liars in Washington.

There is also the nugget about how she DOES NOT remember when she first voted in PA. Then she *THINKS* it was 2016 for Trump, but the newspaper investigated it and found she didn’t vote in PA until 2018. She was also asked to release her DD214 and she is refusing. #kathyisafraud

I don’t think she’s a whack job. I do think she’s someone who isn’t quite ready for prime time and never thought she’d be on this stage.

This might be the best assessment of Barnette that I've seen yet.

She's no better than #3 on my list of GOP candidates in that Senate race, and that's mainly because she doesn't bring anything to the table for an important position in Washington other than sound bites and a great life story.

At best, her résumé reads like something I'd expect to see for a mid-level manager in the corporate world.

At worst, she may be a grifter who hasn't had a real job in years and is using a faux political career to generate publicity and raise money.

Not an Oz fan, but “ working on Wall Street” means just that. “Working from n financial markets” means something else.

This gal won’t hunt. Too many easy to find and major quibbles at least, to hunt birds, let alone big game.

I’m not in Pennsylvania, but senators matter. They’re about the only thing holding back the sewage, and we have to thank a couple of democrats for keeping some semblance of sanity in our fedgov.

A massive and extensive conservative record and this one blip. My guess would be she was trying to connect with and get minds open to her larger message in the black community, but no doubt a mistake.

It is a speck compared to Oz’s gross leftism or McCormick’s extended business partnerships with the WEF and CCP, however.

Has she indicated what she did on Wall Street? Did she have her brokers license? Was she a glorified gopher? Answer the phones? Process orders? or what?

“Wall street” means brokerages and investment firms. This is a stupid smear.

Dunno. Not my quibble to root out for truth. She ain’t my gal.
Neither is Oz.

Why can’t the GOP find strong candidates who don’t stink like something rotten or who have been leftist looking, sounding acting for decades, but all of a sudden have a claim to “see the light”?

Being a reservist or NG is considered “Active Duty For Training”, not “Active Duty”

That's not quite right. I hope you're just uninformed and not the enemy.

There are many other assignments for Guard or Reservists. I know, I've been on many of them.

The best one was clsssified so high I had to get another clearance to fulfill it! Sorry to be such a snot.

There are sources for details.

She says she worked for a Wall Street firm. It has a branch in St. Louis. So she worked for a Wall Street Firm. So what?

It’s like Biden claiming he was a full professor for 4 years.

No sorry.
Working on Wall Street is specific to lower Manhattan financial firms and is a big deal. Working in St Louis is not equivalent.
Telling supporters to accuse neighbors of being racist if they won’t take her card is a big deal.
I don’t want a senator who is supposed to be able to form opinions on complex subjects but can’t remember when she moved to PA, when she taught at college level, who she voted for in 2016, 2020. She puts on a good front but she is anything but solid. The left is salivating. Having donated to Mia Love & a few other “strong conservatives” who washed out promptly Barnette sets my alarm bells ringing. She plays the organ stops but her response to questions is very shifty.
It’s a shame we don’t have a better candidate because OZ is from hunger; at least his flaws are in clear sight.

I agree she is not ready for prime time. Although her heart is in the right place her background discrepancies will do her in against the Rats and the media.

“I don’t have a dog in the hunt. But what I see in Barnett is someone trying to puff up her experience ...”

That’s my take, as well. Barnett probably never thought she would be under such intense scrutiny wherein little white lies are blown up into big whoppers. I repeatedly witnessed something similar during 40 years of academic life. A resume fudge here and there that ultimately gets exposed and ends a job candidate’s mobility.

Biden wasn’t an actual professor. That was a title given really for the Big Guy giving Penn the opportunity to launder even more of his Chinese graft for him. Supposedly he hosted a forum or some such as part of his honorifically “professorial” duties.
