Surging Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Kathy Barnette has a history of anti-Muslim and anti-gay statements. In many tweets, Barnette also spread the false conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama is a Muslim.

In one speech uploaded to YouTube in 2015, Barnette forcefully argued it was OK to discriminate against Muslims and compared rejecting Islam to "... rejecting Hitler's or Stalin's worldviews." In comments on her radio show, she said accepting homosexuality would lead to the accepting of incest and pedophilia. One post she wrote called a transgender person "deformed" and "demonic."

"You are not a racist if you reject Islam, or if you reject Muslims, because they are not a race of people. They are a particular view. They are people that have a particular view of the world, and we have a right to discriminate against worldviews," she said. "We discriminated against Hitler's Nazi Germany view of the world, right? That was a worldview. That's how he saw the world around him. And we discriminated against it. We rejected it. We rejected Stalin's view ... of the world, right? Because that's a particular view of the world that we don't agree with."

She was asked yesterday when and where she was an “adjunct professor”. What a tough question!

I think it might have been the same years Biden was a professor.

Kathy is the anti conservative Mitt Romney, GOPe choice. Be careful here.

I’m voting for Oz.

[Gary from Dayton]

Good for you doing your homework. I wish others would. But, I can tell from the responses they haven’t.

[Antoninus]

Oh, please. Kathy is outspoken against Islam and homosexuality and that's supposed to be a negative? I've got bad news for you. It's long past time that a strong GOP candidate began talking that way again.

Meanwhile, here's what she's saying on Twitter today:

Remember when they told you President Trump was unelectable and then he won?

Remember when they told you Ron DeSantis was unelectable and then he won?

They both won and gave us some of the best conservative representation we’ve ever seen.

While the homo-agit prop machine at CNN declares Kathy unelectable, CatholicVote just endorsed her:

[AmericaFirst101]

Thanks. And yeah, I agree.

I just want to win the seat in November.

I’m here in PA. I know the landscape.

[Antoninus]

I’m voting for Oz.

Of course you are. So are all the conservatives who trust CNN. This is their guy:

[conservative98]

These are your two guys:

Throw the election and you are playing right into their hands. WAKE UP.

[Antoninus]

LOL. No one is stupid enough to think that if elected (God forbid!) Dr. Odd would be right in bed with Schumer and McConnell. He’s got the exact profile of a deepstater.

[conservative98]

YOU ARE A FOOL.

[TBP]

Neither could Trump. Nor Reagan. But they did.

[mosaicwolf]

"based upon their religion..."

Based on the Cult called a religion.

[Sam Gamgee]

And that’s a bad thing.....?????

Some of the people commenting on hère... Itd predictable but so moronic. Set aside the rigged election stuff for 2 minutes and deal with the narrow electability question yall. The woman has made rough unfiltered statements that are going to recieve top billing as a général election issue. This is a purple statue- not a deep red one where you have a large buffer zone. She wont win because of nervous suburbanite voters. In swing states, you hâve to tailor your candidates to appeal to a flimsy majority. I get the feeling that too many people here care about lobbimg bombs and not winning elections. STOP BEING MORONS PLEASE!

[AmericaFirst101]

Exactly right. Thank you.

[JimRed]

Bigoted statements? Remember, TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.

"You are not a racist if you reject Islam, or if you reject Muslims, because they are not a race of people. They are a particular view. They are people that have a particular view of the world, and we have a right to discriminate against worldviews," she said. "We discriminated against Hitler's Nazi Germany view of the world, right? That was a worldview. That's how he saw the world around him. And we discriminated against it. We rejected it. We rejected Stalin's view ... of the world, right? Because that's a particular view of the world that we don't agree with."

I see absolutely nothing objectionable -- and nothing incorrect -- about the above.

[Lazamataz]

Is this supposed to make me like her more? Because that is what it does.

Yup.

And this new guy, AmericaFirst101, sounds like a name someone would choose to try and fit in here.... if they actually didn't fit in here.
