Charlie Sykes: Bill Barr Makes Me 'Gag'—But Praise Him For Denouncing Trump
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/19/2023 12:10:10 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

File this one under NewsBusters' "Sudden Respect" rubric--though a very grudging respect at that.

On today's Morning Joe, Never Trumper and MSNBC contributor Charlie Sykes praised Bill Barr, Donald Trump's former Attorney General, for the blistering criticism he made of Trump during his Face The Nation appearance yesterday.

But Sykes couldn't resist taking a nasty shot at Barr for his perceived past sins of supporting Trump. Said Sykes:

"Bill Barr, you need a healthy gag reflex to, you know, sort of accept him. But, you know, coming from Bill Barr, this is extraordinary. This is not on my bingo card for 2023. That he would be the most vociferous and effective critic of Donald Trump."

So Barr makes Sykes want to puke. But since he's willing to light into Trump, all is forgiven.

Many FReepers also get a gag reflex from Bill Barr—but for precisely the opposite reasons as Sykes.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Charlie Sykes belongs to that portion of the Republican party that exists only in the fanciest country clubs and in the shower stalls of the YMCA.

I prefer Barnes’s view of Barr:

It is so obvious that Barr is following orders to trash Trump. None of this is of his own ambition. And it is just more proof that dark forces are aligned.
