Kathy Barnette Doesn’t Deny Going Into Capitol on Jan. 6 in Fox Interview
In a Fox News interview Monday night, Pennsylvania Republican Kathy Barnette was twice asked if she went into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and twice she declined to give a clear denial.
Bret Baier asked the Senate candidate, whose electoral prospects have suddenly risen in the last two weeks, about photographs verified earlier in the day by NBC News that show her marching beside members of the far-right group the Proud Boys in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6. Barnette has acknowledged she attended the Stop the Steal rally that day but has denied entering the Capitol. Her campaign also released a statement saying she “has no connection whatsoever” to the Proud Boys.
“First of all,” Baier began, “did you go into the Capitol? And how do you talk about that day?”
