Think they're worried about Barnette winning?
Ric Grennell torched his credibility and essentially signed his resignation papers from the conservative movement by launching this fake, paid attack on Kathy Barnette:

Until you realize that sometimes people use hashtags to get people to click on their post, and then they hit them with a counter-message that the person clicking wasn't expecting.
Is that what happened here?
Um, yes.
Here's the video that is linked by those hashtags: a video in which she says-- yells, actually --
"DEFUNDING THE POLICE IS STUPID, PEOPLE! ABOLISHING THE POLICE IS STUPID, PEOPLE! BLACK PEOPLE, DO NOT FALL FOR THE OKEY-DOKE! DO NOT FALL FOR THESE WHITE LIBERALS COMING INTO OUR COMMUNITIES AND TELLING YOU TO DEFUND THE POLICE!"
"THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR LIVES!" ("The okey-doke" is slang for the juke, the fake-out, the con, etc.)
And she talks about "law and order falling to the mob," and tells the story of a one-year-old baby being shot and killed by gang-bangers who are out-of-control and empowered due to police having withdrawn from the streets due to BLM and Defund the police.
Don't believe me? Well, don't take my word for it, and don't take Ric Grennell's word for it, either.
Just watch. About two minutes should do it:

People keep telling Ric Grennell to withdraw this ugly and stupid lie, but he won't:
grennellwithdrawyourlie.jpg Now why would a man introduce such a stupid and ugly and easily-disproven lie, and then, when the lie is shown to be so ugly and stupid and easily-disproven, stand behind it?
Well, the answer is obvious: When you're being paid cash-money to spread the lie.
Deb Heine, Dissident @NiceDeb Dumb-- @Kathy4Truth was using popular hashtags to draw attention to a video in which she literally says: "abolishing the police is stupid, people."
Why would a man burn so much of his credibility for such a stupid lie? Easy -- when he's selling his credibility to a client. It's a commodity he's selling like firewood.
Dozens and dozens of people keep saying "Watch the video" but Grennell won't acknowledge them. He makes no arguments that the video really says this or that. He doesn't want to even get into it.
He knows what the video says. He doesn't care. Because he's being paid to lie on behalf of a client.

And you may say: You can't prove he's being paid. Maybe he really just (giggle) believes in (snarf) Mehmet Oz. Maybe he just (laugh) has Mehmet Oz Fever.
Okay, then explain the following.
Having watched the first video, you can see this woman is very strongly opposed to the Black Victimhood/Blame Whitey agenda and BLM.
So someone cut up a bunch of her videos in which she mentions "white privilege" and "racism" -- almost surely arguing against the standard Black Victimhood narrative on these topics -- and just edits them together to show her saying these words, to imply she's a black radical.
Is it plausible that she's a black radical, given that she just blasted BLM and said they were effectively killing black people by cowing the police?
No, it's not.
But someone chopped up one-second soundbites and stitched together a Frankenvideo of Kathy Barnette saying words like "white privilege" and "racism" and "I have slave blood in my veins." (The latter, no doubt, to establish that she has authority to speak on these issues and is not an "Uncle (Aunt) Tom.")
And guess who links this?
That's right, Noted Totally-Not-Being-Paid-For-This Completely-Authentic Mehmet Oz SuperFan, Ric Grennell.
This is so embarrassing that I suspect Ben Howe was involved. (Not really.)

Thanks.
She’s right…the riots do/did nothing to honor anyone’s memory.
Yeah she has a little bit of the woe is us black people. Says if you look at the news, you’d think it’s only black people rioting but we all know antifa is white as are a lot of BLM. I don’t know why she doesn’t or didn’t know. I think everyone agrees that those four cops could have handled George Floyd better. She’s definitely not color blind though.
The backfire should only help Kathy.
She is, and Wikipedia deleted her bio page.
Sure hope so.
Nobody’s really color-blind, especially politicians - not any one of them.
I’ve encountered many overly sensitive Black people; but even independent-thinking Conservative Black people often take the history of discrimination seriously. More than one has told me about having ‘the talk’ with their sons. It’s less a worry than it used to be, but in times past they were nervous even to let their sons drive their luxury cars, especially in areas like this one.
I’ve never trusted grinnell.
She is articulate, but I disagree with ‘honoring George Floud’. He was a criminal, killing himself with drugs, and was apprehended fro a crime. He does not deserve ‘honoring’ regardless of skin color. And he was an explouitable commodity for the leftist who want race riots and chaos qand will manipulate black people to get it.
I apologize, I meant folks on FR attacking her to get Oz elected.
That isn’t the point. There was no need for the police to treat him as drastically they did.
Barnette Rocks! She is the Dems/Planned Parenthood’s biggest nightmare.
Got way worse since Obama/Holder egged things on. I know white people who still use the N word. My dad was a real bad racist. GD N word on a regular basis. 20 years later, I was self employed in the sign business and often worked with a fellow self employed black guy. We hung off a 16 story building together to install a Marriott sign. We trusted each other with our lives and money and considered each other as friends. He was straight from the hood and sounded like it but read USA Today every day because it had more world news than the local paper.
Yep, no one’s color blind and everyone stereotypes.
Was the episode exploited?
Me too. In fact I’m scared of most women. Scary!
Try the entire clip, not the clickbait soundbite. You are engaging in defamation of character.

My son has a theory thar homosexuals have a deep, unique character flaw. Incidents like this make me think he’s on to something.
Yes, that alone tells us where this race is at.
I am doing doing no such thing.
You, however, are off of your rocker, troll.
I couldn’t follow this ‘article’. I call BS and Smear Job. Ric is definitely a good guy.
