Kathy Barnette, Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate, campaign believes photos of her on Jan. 6 are genuine

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette's campaign believes that photos appearing to show her on the streets of Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6th are of her, a person close to the campaign confirmed to CBS News. 

The images appearing to show Barnette were first reported by Chad Loder, who researches extremism. The images were later verified by NBC News.

Barnette on Monday denied that she went inside the Capitol. Citing the First Amendment, Barnette told CBS News that she traveled to Washington, D.C., to "listen to my President's speech to see if there were answers but what many of us in the country felt unnerved about."
