Cracks appearing and widening in GOP; Hannity smacked down

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/05/barnette-loses-pennsylvania-senate.html

John Fetterman's chances of flipping Pat Toomey's senate seat to the Democratic party just got even greater the day after the primary as Kathy Barnette, who finished third on the GOP side, declared she would not support either of the other Republican candidates who are waiting on the results of a statewide recount to find out if they are the Republican nominee.

What a wonderful thing it is to see a bona fide extremist right winger go after Sean Hannity following a primary election loss. That kind of honesty from a right wing extremist is rare. Of course she's just resentful and angry that Hannity didn't take her side and in spite of the fact that she, Hannity, McCormick and Oz are not all that far apart in their extremist views. But, here we have a right wing extremist whose words and actions post-election are publicly questioning Hannity's credibility and refusing to support the party's nominee, including the former failed President 45's hand-picked endorsement. That's quite a wide crack in Republican la-la land.

The "base" is starving for a guiding lie. Oh, please, let them place their undying trust in Barnette.

5. Here's the quote from Barnette, recorded in The Hill

“Never forget what Sean Hannity did in this race,” she said in a video posted on Twitter Wednesday. “Almost single handedly Sean Hannity sowed deep seeds of disinformation, flat out lies every night for the past five days and that was just extremely hard to overcome.”--Republican Candidate for US Senate from Pennsylvania Kathy Barnette

What an epiphany. She finally admits to something the intelligent, free-thinking world has known ever since that snide little manipulator first appeared in the media. Then this from The Hill

Barnette declared she would not support Oz or McCormick in the general election, saying she had “no intentions of support[ing] globalists” before the election began Tuesday.

There is the lying, resentful black woman Con, first seen in Candace Owens and now in this Barnette disaster. Couldn't happen to a more deserving political party.
