GOP U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette in an interview on Monday morning refused to support the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania if she does not win the nomination on Tuesday.
Asked during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel on Monday by Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow if she will support whoever wins the nomination, she said she will not.
“If you do not win tomorrow, do you intend to support the Republican nominee whoever it is?” Marlow asked.
In reply, she said she will not support the Republican nominee against the likely Democrat nominee Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. It is worth noting Fetterman is an avowed socialist, so Barnette refusing to support either Dr. Mehmet Oz or businessman David McCormick if one of them wins instead of her essentially means she would be helping a socialist Democrat win in the general election.

I am a never Oz. I would vote for either Barnette (my choice tomorrow) or McCormick in November. My one concern...that Fetterman drops out because of health issue. He’s a Bernie Sanders candidate and is beatable in Pa. But if he drops, it’s Connor Lamb and 8 believe Barnette would have a much harder time against him than McCormick would.
He said he would.
If I recall, when Trump was asked the same question in the primaries, he gave the same answer..
It was more like Hell, no.
It was so interesting to watch in TV. Everybody around in their podiums was raising up their hand, on live TV, talk about peer pressure. And Trump resisted.
Well done Kathy!
Remember the debates in 2016, when all the Republican candidates were asked to raise their hand if they would support whoever won? Didn’t they all raise their hands - except Donald Trump?
So with this and her 2016 anti-Islam tweet - she’s looking more like Trump every day.
Since you're on FR, the enemy thinks YOU are too!
My days of voting for the gutless appeasers are over.
Certainly. The left throws pig slop at us, and the dimmer among us will don a blindfold and gobble it up.
You don’t have to live on a pig farm, as Kathy did, to recognize it and refuse to engorge yourself.
IOW, she’s acting like Trump?
Me and my family (and friends and coworkers) will under NO CIRCUMSTANCE vote for Oz in the general election. If his name is on the ballot, we will write-in Barnette.
I posted an article I thought was interesting. I hold no torch for any of the PA senate candidates. I do not see any of them as acting like Trump either.
More PROOF that Kathy Barnette is a SCAMMING GRIFTER, only in it for HERSELF. If she Loses she won’t support the Nominee if it’s Oz or McCormick!?!? Hey, ANYONE will be better than the COMMUNIST FETTERMAN, even Nutty Kathy. HOW DARE SHE !
Trump was accused of the same thing. didn’t say yes prior to primary.
Behold, the Barnette stalker is back !
If this was her actual answer, the headline (surprise, surprise!) is misleading and almost everyone here is commenting on something she didn't even say. Being a FReeper has now become synonymous with not reading the article and mouthing off half-baked. It's nothing to be proud of.
But if MAGA wins the nomination, not only do the RINOs do nothing to help the nominee win the general election, but in 2020 they crossed a line and turned a blind eye to Democrat cheating.
RINOs would rather a Democrat win than see their exclusive club taken over by MAGA patriots.
you’re missing the whole point.
the question is uniparty playbook 101, you look like a hypocrite if you answer yes. you look like sour grapes if you say no. if you refuse to answer, you’re wishy washy or worse a trojan.
she answered correctly taking honesty as always the best policy.
it’s a bogus question designed by the enemy journalist, in this case boyle, to smear a candidate.
Yes. He said as much in that statement he issued a couple of days ago. He said she had a great future in the party, but had not been vetted. But if she were to win the nomination he would support her.
It is her actual and complete response to the question. I transcribed it myself.
I also provided the link to the audio, and indicated where in the recording the question is asked (10 minutes and 15 seconds into the clip) so that anyone can confirm her complete reply for themselves.
Her complete answer was a far cry from "refuses to support GOP nominee for senate if it is not her."
ROFL!
Scarier than voting for a Turkish Muslim promising to put America First?
