Surging in the polls, U.S. Senate candidate from Pennsylvania, Kathy Barnette has a history of anti-Muslim statements which has infuriated her Turkish Muslim opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has long been a pro-abortion liberal until he entered this race as a Republican. Barnette is nearly tied with her two main Republican opponents, Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, who together have spent more than $60 million on their respective campaigns compared to Barnette, who has spent under $2 million.
FOX 43 Republican Senate hopeful Mehmet Oz is stepping up his criticism of an African-American candidate in Pennsylvania who is gaining traction ahead of Tuesday’s primary election.
After spending much of the campaign steering clear of fellow Republican Senate contender Kathy Barnette, Oz on Saturday said she was out of step with the GOP and would be unable to win the general election in November. In an interview, he took issue with a 2015 tweet from Barnette in which she wrote that “Pedophilia is a Cornerstone of Islam.”
CNN 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.”
Barnette surged in recent polls in the upcoming Pennsylvania Republican US Senate primary, putting her in a dead heat between Donald Trump-endorsed former TV star Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund manager David McCormick. The Pennsylvania Senate seat is one of the one of the best pickup opportunities for Democrats this November, and Barnette’s sudden, rapid rise is causing worry among Trump allies.
Barnette has had a quick and unpredicted rise in the polls ahead of next Tuesday’s primary. She is best known as an Army Reserves veteran and conservative political commentator who regularly appeared on Fox, and previously she was the host of a Christian radio show called “Truth Exchange,” which also had a website where she sometimes blogged. She previously ran for Congress in 2020 in Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District but lost to Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean.
Speaking in December 2015, in a speech posted online, Barnette argued it was acceptable to discriminate against Muslims and Islam, comparing it to rejecting the worldviews of Stalin and Hitler, leaders who systematically discriminated against and ordered the killing of millions of people — including Jews, people with disabilities, Slavs and gay men.
“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.”
“We have the right to discriminate against worldviews because all views are not morally equal,” she added. “All views are not equal. So we have the right to reject it. And let me just say offhand, I reject how Muslims see the world.”
She tweeted in 2015, “There is nothing rational about Islam.”
In 2019, Barnette attacked Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan for comments she made about Trump, tweeting she was a “MUSLIM” in all capital letters.
“Aren’t you all so glad you voted in the first ‘openly’ Palestinian Muslim? (Sarcasm for ya’ll who don’t get sarcasm),” wrote Barnette.
Barnette also frequently shared the widespread theory that Obama, who claimed to be a Christian, was Muslim. One tweet derided Obama as a “Muslim or from another country.”
On her radio show and in speeches, Barnette frequently called Obama by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, apparently to imply he was Muslim. “We have a president in office right now, Barack Hussein Obama,” she said in 2015 in a speech. “I try to mention his name as much as possible. Thinking that at some point a light bulb is going to go off in someone’s head.”
Kathy Barnette speaking in 2015:
Kathy Barnette speaking today:
Fck the Turk.
I wish Trump would wake TF up about islam.
Me too.
Ban islam and deport all muslims!!
Go Kathy Go.. PA needs a great LADY like her.
I cannot understand why Trump would support that bozo OZ as he is a real snake in the grass..
I also mention the name of Barack Hussian Obama when I mention that dude in order that some people may get a light bulb moment.
He changed his name to Barack Hussian Obama once he embraced Jesus as his Lord and Savior, when his previous name was Barry, which is a rather Christian name, so my question is from which religion did he change from and if he was in fact a guy name Barry, a Christian name, and he converted to Christianity from islam is he then a person in line for killing.
What Christian would change his name from Barry to Barrack Hussian after becoming a Christian?.
Obama,s Mother married a muslim in Hawaii, she may not have needed to convert while living in the USA but she then divorced that guy and moved to Indonesia, married a muslim guy there and MUST have converted to islam as that is the Law of that country, she has been seen wearing a Hijab beside him and Barrack/Barry, therefore Barry.Barrack IS, or WAS a muslim, if he is now a Christian he is due for beheading.
The greatest Con Job in USA History was Barack Hussian Obama being President for 8 long years.
His given name is Barack Hussein, after his father who was Muslim. After he died, his mother married another Muslim – Soetoro – in Hawaii I think, but it might have been in Indonesia, where he lived most of his life before college. I believe he Americanized his name to Barry when he entered college in the US.
“He changed his name to Barack Hussian Obama once he embraced Jesus as his Lord and Savior”
Wave goodbye to any and all of your credibility, because that incinerated my bullshit meter.
Talk about yer “assbackward moment”…..
She would level the playing field against Ilhan Omar.
Based on what I heard from Oz in a Mark Levin interview – he is conservative by Hollywood standards. However, Hollywood standards are not American standards.
That’s why I called him a liberal and not a leftist. But still far from being a conservative.
I think even Trump does not like Oz but he endorsed him because he would have a better chance at winning in Pennsylvania come 2024. There is something about white suburbia that would be pro-Oz, is what I read. I will be watching the results and hope Barnette is the real deal and not a Democrat plant.
I’d prefer McCormick over Oz any day.
I live in white suburbia and I would prefer Kathy Barnette. Don’t believe everything hyou read.
Beautiful on the Inside and Beautiful on the Outside, Pennsylvania and America NEEDS U.S. Senate candidate from Pennsylvania, Kathy Barnette.
Strong, Courageous, Outstanding, Conservative Kathy is a true American! A patriot who will work for, and do everything in her power to help Pennsylvania and Americans of all races.
Please God, Have this wonderful lady win!
I’m dumbfounded that Trump endorsed Oz. Oz is a narcissistic chameleon, a pussy when the fight gets tough.
Many Trump supporters will be shocked, horrified and bitter that Trump is AGAINST Wonderful, Ethical, Brave, Courageous, Huge Patriot, AMERICA FIRST Kathy Barnette and took the side of Muslim Dr. Oz, who, as a Muslim, is deeply committed to Muslim Conquest of America and all non Muslim countries.
Please, Awesome God, Have Heroine Kathy win. By speaking out, she endangers her life for Americans. Please surround her and her family with your Guardian, Warrior Holy Angels.
Thank You God, Amen.
“Barnette frequently called Obama by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, apparently to imply he was Muslim.”
Barmette is vilified for speaking the truth. Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. Obama admitted that he is a Muslim.
In this nauseating youtube, American Hater Obama, says a LOT of LIES about Islam.
Obama Admits He Is A Muslim – Watch Before It’s Erased! New Video 2014
Hard to believe Trump supports wierdo/probable more Islamic than American: Mehmed Oz. Can’t imagine how that came about. Go Kathy!
I don’t understand it either. I love Trump but every once in a while he steps in dog shit.
It’s impossible for any American except multi millionaires and billionaires to vote for Democrats when they see what China Biden and his radical leftist regime have perpetrated.
Thousands of cans of BABY FORMULA and other things are gifted by MERCILESS US RULERS to hundreds of thousands of ILLEGAL INVADERS at the border whilst American mothers and fathers weep in supermarkets for their little babies. There is no baby formula for American babies.

Ban Islam? YES!!
Barnett gets a lot of Democrat support in primaries because she will be easiest to beat in general election. She also wanted a statue of Obama next to the Lincoln statue.
I doubt that. She hates Obama.
