Gag reflex. This is how Trump wound up surrounded by anti-Trump globalists.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Several prominent conservative groups are getting involved in Pennsylvania’s race for U.S. Senate and backing candidate Kathy Barnette as an alternative to Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
The anti-tax Club for Growth endorsed Barnette on Wednesday and has begun airing TV ads on her behalf. That follows the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List’s decision on Tuesday to back Barnette over Oz.
“Kathy is a courageous advocate for life who exposes the human cost of abortion,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of Susan B. Anthony List, said in a statement. It’s unclear whether the endorsements and advertising will be enough to carry Barnette to the top of the field in Pennsylvania’s May 17 primary.
The Club for Growth, for instance, unleashed millions of dollars in advertising against Trump-backed JD Vance in Ohio’s GOP Senate primary earlier this month only for the “Hillbilly Elegy” author to go on and win the race by an eight-point margin.
But the growing focus on Barnette suggests anxiety among some conservative and pro-Trump circles that Oz doesn’t sufficiently reflect their views on abortion, guns or the culture wars the GOP is waging against Democrats.
An Oz loss next week would mark another setback for Trump after his preferred candidate for governor was defeated in Nebraska’s Republican primary on Tuesday.

Trump is backing Oz. A loyal friend. If Kathy wins he’ll back and campaign for her…
What is the big f ing deal.
Yes.
Big deal is she has never been vetted and will throw the election to the Democrat. So much for being a real Pennsylvanian and not carpetbagging. She lived in Virginia and moved to PA right before she ran for office in 2020. No wonder she wants her history to be private. She is a fraud.
Well, Oz never did give nothing to the tin man that he didn’t already have. So there’s that.
Once again Trump is smarter than we give him credit for
You would think that people would get exercised over the border invasion, Biden trying to get us into a nuclear exchange with Russia, with inflation destroying the dollar, etc.
But no, it is Trump’s endorsement of Oz that has their nose out of joint, as if Oz could be any worse and more anti-American than little adam schiff, or McConnell, or Schumer, who are not Turkish.
Here in Louisiana, Cassidy won re-election as a Trump supporter, but the minute he won the election he turned on Trump. He is white, supposed to be Christian, natural born, and a snake in the grass. Oz could not equal these snakes if he tried.
Gag reflex. This is how Trump wound up surrounded by anti-Trump globalists.
How can you allege she hasn’t been vetted and then state she ran in 2020?
Sure glad I don’t have to choose in this one. I have enough to consider with Cawthorn, etal.
House seat, not senate seat.
OZ will do a 180 if elected. He is lying about his beliefs.
“The anti-tax Club for Growth endorsed Barnette...”
Well that might be the nail in her coffin.
Club for Growth should have endorsed Oz.
“Possibly another defeat for Trump!”
But Dr. Oz isn’t a carpet bagger?
That’s how it will be characterized if Oz loses this. It will be a Trump “losing streak” guaranteed.
