Chris Stigall interviews Kathy Barnette and asks for answers to questions raised by Salena Zito.
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.

RE: BTW she should be prepared to explain rather than play the leftist role of blaming others.
As I see it, she would be very glad to, if her detactors like Hannity and Kelly gave her the chance to do it in their shows.
Rush Limbaugh’s call screener, Bo Snerdly did that in his radio program on May 14.
RE: Doesn’t matter who got them - she posted them.
And she was quoted — OUT OF CONTEXT.
RE: I don’t watch either Hannity or NewsMax.
This isn’t just about you, it’s also about a wide swath of PA voters who DO watch their shows.
Then present the context for us to see. Not what she says it says - but what she actually stated.
RE: Then present the context for us to see. Not what she says it says - but what she actually stated.
Go to this link and read the entire piece explaining her Tweets regarding BLM and Defund The Police IN CONTEXT.
The writer of this piece actually watched her 2020 videos IN TOTO without any cut and paste.
Calling her a BLM and Defund the Police supporter is like the MSM calling Trump a white supremacy sympathizer for what he said in Charlottesville, Virginia. A total cut and paste falsehood.
Turd Blossom has his hands all over this.
There you go again - redirecting to her explanation rather than to the actual statements she said. It’s easy to explain away what one says - but the voter neds to see what she actually said as stated.

I Disagree with you that her statement ( out of context ) outweighs her explanation ( in context ).
Not when her record and writings long before this campaign show that she has never agreed with race hustlers and her consistent support for law enforcement.
You may want to criticize her “lack if achievements” ( your words ) and that would be a legitimate concern.
But calling her a BLM and Police Defund supporter is a lie.
Now you’re double talking because you obviously can’t provide the actual statements she made in their original .
RE: Now you’re double talking because you obviously can’t provide the actual statements she made in their original
Again, you are posting something OUT OF CONTEXT. You can quote the original, just as people quote Trump and then IGNORE his other statements to paint a narrative. But here is the reality:
1. Barnette DOES NOT support what BLM is doing and condemns their violence and she has been consistent in this.
2. Barnette DOES NOT support the defunding of the police.
If you do not want to vote for her ( I don’t know if you are a Pennsylvanian ), that is your prerogative. But please, DO NOT misrepresent her views. That is DISHONEST.
Another distraction...Post what she actually stated instead of sidestepping it.
RE: Another distraction...Post what she actually stated instead of sidestepping it
OK, here it is:
A super PAC supporting Mehmet Oz, the celebrity surgeon and prominent candidate in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary, has released an attack ad that wildly distorts the past remarks and positions of Kathy Barnette, a party rival who is surging in late-campaign polls.
See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=IOSQT2MRXUU
They try to depict Barnette as a “crazy” advocate of liberal positions. To do so, though, the super PAC misleadingly truncated Barnette’s past comments about race and policing and added inaccurate introductions to these shortened clips.
( I already said that but there it is ).
The ad’s narrator suggests viewers are about to hear Barnette speak on the subject of “violence.” The ad then shows a clip of Barnette, who is Black, saying, “Black Americans feel disenfranchised.” After a quick cut, the ad shows her saying, “Systemic racism. Specifically among police officers.”
MY COMMENT:
This segment of the ad is deceptive in two significant ways. First, it completely reverses Barnette’s position on systemic racism among police officers: These short clips were snipped from a May 2020 YouTube commentary in which Barnette explicitly rejected the idea that there is systemic racism among officers.
Second, in this same YouTube commentary and in other remarks, Barnette has repeatedly denounced violence, rioting and looting.
Here are Barnette’s actual comments about systemic racism and police officers in the YouTube commentary:
SEE HERE:
https://youtu.be/seE0IUQqEoY?t=2933
(That was live streamed 2 years ago on May 2020 )
Here is what she said:
“Listen, there is a reason why many Black Americans feel disenfranchised in America. And I will never try to minimize the reasons why many of them feel that way. And yet a lot of what we see is manipulation. It’s the stoking of the flame of the tensions of the history of this nation. For example, many are saying today that what we are experiencing — what happened to George, George Floyd — is systemic racism in our justice system, specifically among police officers. They would have us to believe that there is a police officer like Officer Chauvin, who had his knee on George Floyd’s neck, around every street corner. And that everywhere we go, there is a police officer waiting to shoot a Black man. I reject that. And I don’t reject it because I feel like that’s not true. I reject it because it is — statistically is not true.”
She then went on to cite various statistics she claimed proved her point ( watch the video ).
Nothing in Barnette’s remarks was an endorsement of violence in general, or protest violence in particular. In fact, at other moments in the YouTube commentary — which she titled “On the Issues: Justice vs Rioting” — Barnette criticized Pennsylvania Democrats for, in her opinion, not doing enough to condemn or stop rioting.

Then, The ad’s narrator introduces a Barnette clip he describes as a comment “on Black Lives Matter.” The ad then shows Barnette on camera saying, “The reason for so much unrest in the Black community is because of White racism.” The narrator then says in an incredulous tone, “White racism?” The ad again shows Barnette saying, “White racism.” ( and repeats it several times for emphasis ).
First IN CONTEXT, Barnette’s comment about White racism causing unrest in the Black community was not about the Black Lives Matter movement and not even about the present day: The full YouTube video shows she was paraphrasing the findings of a Lyndon B. Johnson presidential commission that looked into the causes of rioting in 1967. And though the ad vaguely hints that Barnette is a supporter of Black Lives Matter, she has actually been a vocal and repeated critic of that movement — at one point likening it to “a bad case of herpes.”
SEE HERE:
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=477259420474875
Here’s what Barnette actually said about “White racism” in the 2020 video from which the ad snipped:
SEE HERE: https://youtu.be/wBcc9kWo0t8?t=12
“So listen, in 1960 (sic) the Kerner Commission provided a report to Lyndon B. Johnson to help him understand why there was so much unrest in the Black community. They spent, I’m sure, a ton of money, to point out the obvious — and that is White racism. That is what the Kerner report highlighted — was the reason for so much unrest in the Black community, is because of White racism. Specifically discrimination in home ownership, education and employment, that there was huge disparities between White community and the Black community, and that’s the reason for the unrest. Now, many of us could’ve told them that without spending all that money.”
Barnette went on talk about the present, saying “not much has changed” in terms of the Black home ownership rate. But she then argued that Democratic leadership was responsible for the present racial gap in home ownership rates — and defended former President Donald Trump’s controversial “what do you have to lose?” 2016-campaign question to Black voters.
AND LONG BEFORE THE 2022 SENATE CAMPAIGN, She already expressed her opposition to Black Lives Matter on social media. In a July 2020 Facebook comment, she said of Black Lives Matter: “I do not support the organization.”

In September 2020, she wrote on Facebook, “Overwhelmingly, my black life does NOT matter to these white liberals who litter their yards with BLM signs.” SEE HERE:
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=194488285408179&id=106629127527429
All these attack ads on her are FALSELY depicting Barnette’s positions on Black Lives Matter, race and policing.
And once again, if you don’t want to vote for her — That’s your prerogative. But please, STOP ACCUSING HER OF SUPPORTING BLM OR WANTING TO DEFUND THE POLICE. THESE ARE TOTALLY FALSE CHARGES.
And oh yeah, you can keep using the word “distraction”. The fact is you are the one sidestepping the truth, not me.
In an emotional Facebook video that month, after a 1-year-old was shot and killed at a New York City park, she criticized various proposals supported by Black Lives Matter activists and said, “Black Lives Matter Global Network Incorporated does not care about my Black life.”
. Turpin Christian Parents also home schooled.....
Once again always resorting to name calling....and people like you keep showing you don’t have the legs to stand on you think you do.
We just had local elections here in East Tennessee recently...many of the signs had pictures of the candidates on them...Newsmax? Seriously?
