On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former Attorney General Bill Barr stated that “the main danger to our democracy, frankly, is the sort of radical progressive movement” and that free public discourse is under attack in a way that “on a daily basis makes the McCarthy era look like child’s play.”
Barr said, “[W]hen confronted with the question, if Trump is the party’s nominee and he’s running against Biden, who would you vote for? And I say it’s hard for me to see — I just find it hard to believe that I could vote against the Republican nominee under those circumstances, because I think the main threat to the United States and the main danger to our democracy, frankly, is the sort of radical progressive movement and the lurch to the left that has taken place –.”

Whatever, liar. You worked to get Trump out. Now you say the biggest threat to democracy is the other side? Phony.
What a moron.
Bill Barr is Trump Approved®
Mitch made it clear to Trump that it would be Barr or nothing.
The fact he is back tells me he is up to something and it is not hard to guess what that may be by what he is talking about.
So President Trump was a supplicant? The buck stops somewhere else?
It’s a “Three-Ring Circus” kind of thing.
Yep, he told Trump, and the American public, that he had investigated the election fraud claims. There was no investigation. He simply decided for himself (or let it be decided for him by his masters) that there was no need to investigate. He is derelict, a liar, and a betrayer.
Yeah, I’ve never bought that cop out. There was a method that could have been used to bypass Mitch, and Trump in fact started using it towards the end of his term, but he should have used it the minute that the Turtle tried to hold him hostage.
No SH**! I read the first two sentences and thought; when is Bill Maher going to admit what is obvious - the two party system as constituted today are working together on every predictable outcome of their actions/inactions.
Well, there were some recent FOIA releases that proved he never ordered any investigation of the election fraud claims. He just lied and said that he did, and further lied and said the “investigation” found nothing.
Yeah, and you helped them Barr, you jerk.
Wait…I thought it was a tie between white supremacy and domestic terrorism.
AMEN! to that. He fought a valiant fight that delayed the communist onslaught a little bit. His communist enemies destroyed him for that.
He didn't put himself in as AG. Nor did sleepy Jeff.
Late to the party, IMO.
It honestly seems like he thought Biden was a loyal member of the Deep State Establishment - a reliable Old DC Hand - only to learn too late that he is actually a senile puppet of the same Obama-era Radical Progressive Movement he correctly identifies and reviles.
And many, many other veteran Republicans thought the same thing - overestimating the danger Trump posed to the defense/intelligence cosa nostra and underestimating the danger Biden's real backers posed to the economy and social structure of the nation.
DeSantis might offer them a compromise way out, but they should never be forgiven for stabbing Trump in the back.
Where was this (version of) Bill Barr when we needed him?
“Our Democracy” is Deep State code for “unopposed, unlimited, authoritarian rule by the entrenched uniparty”. This is why Barr opposes the radical progs and the conservatives in exactly the same way. Apparently he thinks the radical progs are a bigger threat right now than MAGA.
