Barr: ‘Radical Progressive Movement’ Is ‘Main Danger to our Democracy’ — Today ‘Makes the McCarthy Era Look Like Child’s Play’
Breitbart ^ | 01/20/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 01/21/2023 7:11:26 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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 –.”

What a failure. He had the opportunity to do something with his life and failed completely.

Bill Barr speaks with forked tongue.

He claims to support the Constitution, but when it is required for him to act, he stabs those who are supporting the Constitution in the back.

This guy makes me want to spit.

Leftism is indeed the greatest danger to our Republic. But he had his chance and took the side of the Leftists.

As for the “McCarthy Era”, he doesn’t have a damned clue. He only knows what he has been told the the people he wants to criticize, yet he swallows that whole and unquestioningly.

Joseph McCarthy was an American Hero who purchased us several decades more before the Leftists came out of the closet and began their destruction of our country in earnest.

Gee, Bill. It’s a shame you were never Attorney General, or anything like that. Then maybe you could have done something to counter the “progressive” fascism you’re talking about here.

Sheesh.

Pipes boy is at best an ignorant moron to use McCarthy as a pejorative. It is more likely he is being deceitful in furtherance of Deep State aims.

McCarthy was right.

You beat me to it. Barr is proving himself a progressive suck-up by his statement. He is preaching to the liberal choir. If he wanted to challenge them, he would say that they are continuing to prove McCarty right. Instead, he sings their tune. In his depraved heart, he knows no other.

Arguably, Bill Barr is the worst AG the US has ever had as he was a key player in continuing the politicization of the FBI and the Justice Department. Simply put, he COULD HAVE done something about the Wray’s, the Comey’s, the Strzok’s and the Paige’s but he CHOSE not too. In fact, he doubled down at every opportunity. That will be his legacy.

Deep State Pipe Boy.

Every so often he trots himself out
to offer his opinion, no? sometimes I think the DS trots him out- to me he always comes offto me as - “heres my opinion but im not getting involved”.

Look how he treated Pres Trump for example

Barr helped put Biden in office. He has no credibility.

All these jackasses blow with the political winds.

This is the same turd that claimed Trump was a danger to democracy.

That’s rich, coming from a man who fought tooth and nail for the compromised election to stand and install this fascist demonic progressive administration.

Barr needs to knock of the “flippin’”. Is he going to wear a black hat or a white hat. He can’t do both.

What’s spooked him into scurrying back to his previous, mostly rhetorical positions? maybe upcoming release of J6 videos? Vaxx safety accountability?
