I really like her...but she did lose me on the “I will not support the PA (R) candidate”......I still voted for her and I am fed up with voting for the lesser of the two evils. But Fetterman is an absolute NUT!! He is a hard core communist. I see no other way but vote for Oz. BTW, I’m more concerned about the .Gov race as they will do anything to get Shapiro in office. He is their 2024 Dem poster child. They will NOT let him lose.
If you are going to throw mud at least get the quote right. She said, I will not vote for a “Globalist”. Huge difference.
Did you read her real response to that question? If not, here it is:

I’m fed up with this ‘lesser of two evils’ rhetoric. Name a candidate that is so perfect that candidate isn’t a ‘lesser of two evils’.
I believe she said she would not support a globalist nominee. Would you? (Listen to the tape}
I did vote for her
BUT in retrospect, I think she should have refused to accept the 2million dollars she received from the club for growth.
McConnell and Toomey used her to split the Trump vote.
“I really like her...but she did lose me on the “I will not support the PA (R) candidate”......”

Spitballing here, but she may have been thinking, naively, perhaps childishly, certainly selfishly at least in part, that her post-primary-election opinion of the Republican party or republican voters in PA would depend primarily on whether she found favor in either or both via an electoral win, or experienced rejection through electoral loss. I suppose what I am saying is, this is rookie stuff. The only thing it shows without doubt is that she lacks experience, subtlety, “game”.
I have a close friend in PA who is very politically active. He told me last week that he was not a fan of either Oz or McCormick, and that he was originally inclined to support Barnette because he liked her politics and her no-holds-barred approach to the primary battle.
One thing changed his mind about Barnette's campaign, though. He attended one of her local campaign appearances within the last few weeks and noticed that her campaign volunteers had set up collection boxes and were asking attendees to donate cash to support her campaign. He found this totally repulsive and an indicator of an amateurish operation that no respectable political figure would ever endorse. It was, in his own words, "the kind of Third World sh!t I would expect to see at a Democratic campaign event at a black church in Philadelphia."
Her exact words were “I have no intention of supporting globalists”.
Same meaning, I realize - but remember, Trump took the exact same position in 2016.
At the end of the debate when the candidates were asked if they would support whoever won if it wasn’t them, they all raised their hands except Trump.
I think both he and Kathy are right.
Because if you think about it - committing to support whichever Republican wins is no different than supporting someone just because he’s a Republican - and anyone can call himself a Republican.
That mentality is why we have so many RINOs.
