Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette on Thursday denied writing a tweet that claimed “pedophilia is a Cornerstone of Islam,” saying that she “would have never said that.”
In an interview with NBC’s Dasha Burns, Barnette, a conservative commentator who is running for the GOP Senate nomination in Pennsylvania, flatly rejected the notion that she had authored the 2015 tweet, despite the fact that the post still exists on her Twitter account.
“Yeah, no, I don’t think that’s me,” Barnette said. “I would never have said that. OK, I would have never said that, because I don’t believe that.”
Barnette’s campaign manager did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment on the denial.
The denial comes as Barnette surges in the Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary just days before Republican voters head to the polls to choose their nominee to succeed retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).
Former President Trump has endorsed celebrity physician Mehmet Oz in the primary, though polling suggests a close race for the Republican nod. A Fox 29-InsiderAdvantage survey released earlier this week shows Oz leading the field with 23 percent support, though Barnette trails in a close second with 21 percent support.
Barnette’s late rise in the primary has come as a surprise to many Republicans, who saw Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick as the two front-runners.
“McCormick would be very good for China. He isn’t America first kinda guy.”
Neither would be the dem that dusts the floor with Barnett in November.
A vote for Bartos, my favorite, or Sands, is a wasted vote. Of the three with a chance, Kathy is far and away the best.
You too have bought the Deep State smear of her. A pity.
So, you are settling for a terrible candidate who MIGHT win.
Kathy will mop the floor with the freak Fetterman in November, and we will have a true MAGA senator.
We will lose the seat in PA. but does it really matter OZ will be another Romney, McCormick is China, NWO all the way we need to focus on AZ. and GA. PA. is a lost cause Kathy can’t win the general and IF OZ wins we have lost the seat anyway!!! OZ is the biggest phony on the planet giving us all a bunch of lip service!!
One hell of a prophet, I say. lol
But don’t dare attack Islam! Even when a bunch of followers gang rape and nearly kill Lara Logan for fun...
It is a foolish and false meme that says that Barnette cannot win the seat.
I agree. This is time for a more united front. I am very sorry to have supported Roy Moore. He has many good positions and is a strong patriot but was not ready for prime time. President Trump is very pragmatic about needing the numbers. He supports the best candidate available whom he thinks can win.
It would be a crying shame to have another “Doug Jones (D) win” because patriots were too pure and not sufficiently pragmatic. It is easy to get fired by a good story & presentation but the downside risk of acting on an impression informed by wishful thinking is enormous.
The Country is in dire straits and we need to hold the line to retake the majority in the House & hopefully the Senate or Biden and his handlers will destroy America in the time he has left. We who love America need to play the long game and vote accordingly.
What’s wrong with at tweet anyway. 😏
Problem is that she isn’t taking flack from the right people. The left is salivating. They know she will be easy to take down so they are curiously silent. The dog that didn’t bark.
The bottom line is, we don’t have the luxury of perfect candidates right now.
Context is important. I think the situation with Islams finder has been misrepresented. Context is important. Islam has many aspects that are incompatible with the western world and those aspects should not be condoned in the USA. I hold NO brief for Islam, it’s practices and the evil that Islam showers upon women. But this is Islam in general not meant to judge a particular man who may be Islamic. Oz is slimy and his beliefs are appropriate to his Hollywood associations. I wish we had another choice for PA.

It is interesting to note that during medieval times, Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha was never a contentious issue, but as of modern times it has become so. Accusations of paedophilia are abound in the contemporary setting; with scholars suggesting that this is designed to instil not only condemnation but horror.According to one biographer, “[i]n this case, Muhammad’s sexual conduct becomes the locus for a renewed vision of Islam as an archaic and evil force.Medieval emphasis on debauchery and lustfulness have become, since the colonial era, concern with oppression”. This moral emphasis on Muhammad’s sexual life started out with condemnation on polygamy and how he dare allow women to get divorced; during European colonial times.
Still, evidence is lacking on Aisha’s actual year of birth. What is however known is that “Aisha was involved in the Battles of Badr in 624 and Uhud in 625, in neither of which was anyone under the age of 15 allowed”—which were close to the year she supposedly got married. Furthermore “her elder sister of 10 years, died at the age of 100, 72 years after Aisha’s wedding [making Aisha’s] age at the time of her marriage at least 14, and at the time of her marriage’s consummation almost 20”. Furthermore, the age of Aisha is only based on one account, allegedly attributed to Aisha herself in Sahih Bukhari (Volume 5; Book 58; Number 234). However it’s account is heavily disputed within Bukhari’s literature.
The average life expectancy during medieval times was 25—30 years old; and during Greek times it was 20—25. Even for those who survived their childhoods, males would not even be expected to live past the age of 45, and females 36.In Roman times only 50% of the population survived to the age of 20, 33% to age 40, and 16.7% to the age of 60. This is all based on osteo-archaeological evidence, from studying bones that have been dated back to antiquity and the medieval times. Furthermore it is interesting that pregnancies in women would often result in the suppression of the immune system, making them more vulnerable to diseases and infections, and contributing to the overall higher mortality rate for women. Based on this information, Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha and the subsequent consummation would not have been that unusual. At least 25% of Aisha’s lifespan would have gone by the age of 9, whereas in modern times her consummation would have meant that she would have done consummated at the age of 18 (as this is 25% of the average life expectancy), as according to the World Health Organization, the average life expectancy in modern times is 71.4 years old. Additionally, if Aisha was like most people of her time, that at worst lived only up to age 20, then almost half her life-span would have been gone by the age of 9; thus proportionally if her marriage was done in modern times she would be aged 50.
Kathy Barnette = Democrats Bait
Exactly. We are in the trenches and taking daily hits. We need to stop the forward momentum of liberal policies meant to destroy America, meant to allow a group of “elites” to destroy the American peoples safety, security and prosperity.
Islam is a crude religion for barbaric people.
Sorry Barnett CAN NOT win the general, it is NOT a false meme it is a fact the Dems will DESTROY her, I LOVE Kathy but she can’t win, the other two are unacceptable, the Dems might as well have the seat if OZ is seated!!
This is not a normal year. The Democrats are destroying millions of middle class lives, and the majority of Pennsylvanians know it. Any of the top three has an excellent chance at the seat. Only Kathy will make our votes worthwhile.
So we lose the seat and likely the Senate, but by God, we’ll defiantly raise our fist in the air.
Got it.
It saddens me to know how unsophisticated the GOP electorate is. The Democrats have ZERO to do with the ascent of Barnette. BS will prevail Tuesday, and either the Turk or the China suck up will probably win.
We have ONE chance, and it comes Tuesday in the person of Kathy Barnette.
The Democrats have ZERO to do with the ascent of Barnette.
Remember the democrats have insiders helping them RINO’S look at all the work they have done for them Moles Inc.
