Kathy Barnette is an unapologetic racist Republican candidate for the senate seat in Pennsylvania. Barnette who is a Fox News commentator and has her own radio show tweeted in 2015 that it was OK to discriminate against Muslims and to reject Islam. She justified her hatred and bigotry as “… rejecting Hitler’s or Stalin’s worldviews.”
Barnette is very dangerous person because she is amplifying Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism across the United States with impunity and without accountability from the GOP. Should she win the Senate primary in Pennsylvania, it would mean that Islamophobs, racists and bigots can still win elections in the United States which is a dangerous sign for Muslim Americans.
