Kathy Barnette, a Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, has a social media history packed with anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ sentiments, as well as conspiracy theories about former President Obama.
(snip)
Driving the news: Former President Donald Trump warned Republicans Thursday that Barnette's history will preclude her from winning a general election in Pennsylvania. Trump has endorsed celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz in the race.

In one of the tweets, Barnette said "pedophilia is a cornerstone of Islam."

Worth noting: Barnette talked derogatorily about Muslims, Islam and Obama in speeches as well, CNN reports.

I see two of them. One is a longtime Big Business guy and the other one is the Turk.
So many questions to ponder.
Do you think Barnette would flame out in a general election like previous GOP senate primary winners Roy Moore, Sharon Angle or Christine O’Donnell did in the past?
Do you think Barnette would lose the 2022 general election by 19 points as she did in her 2020 general election?
Do you think Barnette’s “Joy Reid” defense of her old remarks would work in the 2022 general elections?
Many things to think about, for Tuesday and beyond.
It’ll be interesting.
Lefty media will make a big deal out of anything like this he’s freaking out based on their reporting.
It really doesn’t matter nor is it relevant.
Unless she’s done something illegal or makes a serious misstep voters won’t care.
They will be worried about more prescient issues in November.
I live in the purple area of PA; from what I’m hearing, the economy is by far the top issue. Democrats are rightfully being blamed. Tweets are not an issue.
Not a thing.
If Winsome Sears were on the ballot this Tuesday, I’d vote for her in a second.
Fetterman is a radical. Go after his leftist policies and tie the Biden regime's failures around his neck. Oz won't. McCormick won't. Barnette will.
You really are moronic with these arguments.
You must be involved with a rival campaign.
That’s all I can think of I’m afraid.
Put up or shut up.
Someone take the bet
Exactly what Oz or McCormick will give you. They won't even try to challenge the Dhimmicrap. It's not gentlemanly.
I’m in a red part of PA and people here aren’t sold on Barnette and don’t like the old statements/tweets.
Yes, the economy is for sure the most important thing.
But in a +500K Dem state and with the Dems hitting her hard, Barnette can lose in November. Particularly to Fetterman.
I’m in Red Land. Still, I have seen the “hate has no home here” signs. People here have been caught up in this “no hate” stuff. It can hurt the GOP in November.
I don’t want to see another O’Donnell, Angle or Moore.
If Roy Moore can lose in Alabama, a Republican can lose in PA.
It's a heavily Democrat, gerrymandered district. She outpolled the prior GOP nominee and outpolled Trump in the district. But don't let little inconveninet facts like that get in the way of your smear campaign.
I don’t do bets. And I’m not your trained seal and don’t clap on command to your idiotic arguments.
Sorry about that. You’ll get used to it.
If people can’t argue without resorting to emotional gibberish or ad hominem attacks, don’t try to argue. That’s my advice. Because seasoned debaters will blow your doors off and not break a sweat.
I’m not involved with any campaign. Nonsense. But I live in PA, which doesn’t seem to case for you.
Barnette got wiped out in the 2020 general election.
We can’t afford that in 2022.
I may be from California, on the other side of the country, but from what I know about this race, it seems Kathy is the best choice. The alternatives are a Turkish citizen and a Muslim with a questionable track record on vital issues and a Bushite.
The left sure has a lot of problems with the facts, don’t they?
You go, girl!
Yeah but those lefties vote. And there are 500K more of them registered than GOP voters here in PA.
Who cares about tweets!! Kathy is 100% right on her tweets. McCormick and Oz will be Rhinos. Kathy is my choice.
And the left will never not vote democrat.
Appeasement doesn’t work. Never did. Never will.
As far as the voter rolls, conservatives would do better pushing hard to get voter rolls cleaned up.
That’s not enough against someone like Fetterman in 2022.
He’s going to be a tough foe.
There is no smear campaign. Someone saying in 2017 that Roy Moore would have trouble in the Alabama general election wasn’t “smearing” him. They were trying to sound a warning.
I want to win the seat. Nothing personal.
And Oz and McCormick will lose to Better man or Lamb. That is what you want, isn’t it?
