Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette was not always in favor of now former President Donald Trump.
In a series of tweets and other comments during the 2016 GOP presidential primary, Barnette — who was a fan of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — repeatedly ripped into Trump.
After a debate in September 2015, for instance, Barnette said Trump “was horrid.”
She also said in another September 26, 2015, tweet that Trump would be “good 4 beers & barbecue.”
“BUT, not as President,” Barnette said of Trump, adding that “WE r so morally bankrupt” for even considering Trump.
Barnette also that day, while Barack Obama was still the president, called Trump “JUST AS LIBERAL” as the “leaders we currently [have in] office.”
She also said in another tweet that while she likes Trump, “he’s nothing more than HEADLINES” and with Trump there is “very little substance.”
She said too that Trump’s “moral character is questionable” and that he is “braggadocious.”
When Dr. Ben Carson endorsed Trump in March 2016, Barnette tweeted that “there is a real disconnect, for me” in Carson endorsing Trump over Cruz.
As of the publication of this article, Barnette still has all these tweets published on her Twitter feed.
In her book, published in February 2020, Barnette even says Trump was last on her list of choices in the 2016 GOP primary — meaning that she liked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich more.

I dropped Cruz for Trump because Trump made perfect sense to me. Follow in a close second by Cruz running the voter shaming campaign in Iowa. Followed again by Glenn Beck swearing him in mock.
Trump, he didn’t tweet enough for me. But then again, I’m not a pussy like those other tools “on our side”.
We can find videos of Trump supporting amnesty, abortion, partial-birth abortion, articles attacking Romney for being too tough on immigration and blaming his loss for it, supporting John Kerry for President, supporting Nancy Pelosi, and the list can go on and on. That’s what made Kathy Barnette and many other people very skeptical of Trump during that primary. We were told his previous comments didn’t matter an time would prove he had changed. Her skepticism was warranted - but certainly if Trump’s past comments didn’t matter then then Barnett’s skepticism from prior to him being President most certainly doesn’t matter now.
Refined never-trumper here. Held my nose in 2016 - thought he was a Democrat plant. I have never been so wrong and have repented. Donated my time (and money) as an attorney for two weeks after 2020 election taking witness statements of fraud in PA. It is possible to go from a never trumper to Ultra Maga!
*reformed - not refined. So much for reviewing the post before posting. 🙄
LOL. When Trump first got in the race, I thought he was a liberal in disguse who was on an ego trip by running. He was not my first choice. But he grew on my and now I’m a fan. Maybe she made the same journey.
In 2015 I agreed with her.
I will.
But that is not what he was saying as a Reform Party candidate (at least I think it was as a Reform Party candidate).
Not so fast. That’s pretty much the same way I thought of Trump in 2015. Me too and i knew about him read his book and followed alot of what he did as an investor. He tried to oust that woman from here house in AC for years so he could put up a parking lot. But the biggest was the Guy he got fired from Janney Montgomery Scott who was a casino analyst that stated Trump was going to default on his bond payments. Well he didn’t really default but he renegotiated the crap out of the payments. and the guy was right.
I have never seen so much political flak over a target in one day.
The GOPe must be getting some serious internal numbers for them to all be flinging mud.
I’m not going to try to change anyone’s mind about who to vote for May 17th.
But I’m going to vote for Barnette unless something serious (not this) comes up.
Roger that.
Club for Growth should re-name themselves Club for RINO. Obviously if TRump backs one candidate, the NWO deep state CFG will back the other..>>> It not like they are contributing to her campaign. They are just running supportinve ads. Good she needs the exposure. If the dems want to run pro kathy ads that’s good too. she is a good conservative candidate.
Keep 'em comin'. I always enjoy a good car wreck, no matter who walks away.
She was wrong...but Trump came as a total surprise to just about every conservative.
Been looking that way for a couple of months now...
That does it! I’m going to write in Mother Teresa.
Trump hired Omorosa, Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr and John Bolton.
Washington is a cesspool of corruption. They also stole the 2020 election in broad daylight.
BTW, 99 out of 100 politicians are frauds.
The trick is to choose the one who is least harmful to our way of life.
That is assuming the election isn’t rig in the first place.
