Former Attorney General Bill Barr is not backing down on his support for Donald Trump, much to the dismay of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
Barr, who broke with the president over his refusal to investigate the widespread evidence of massive voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, said that despite his concerns about Trump he remained a far better option than Joe Biden.

His intention to vote Trump was clearly triggering to Collins, who despite starting out at the conservative Daily Caller has now staked out a role as the voice of the liberal establishment.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
BARR: So it’s not about me. I think that, that I’ve said this all along. If faced with a choice between two people, neither of which I think should be president, I feel it’s my duty to pick the person who I think would do the least damage to the country. And I think Trump would do less damage than Biden. And I think all this stuff about a threat to democracy, I think the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement. And in the Biden administration.

i’m wondering if anyone here really cares about what bill barr or kaitlan collins have to say? ... for that matter, does anyone here care one iota what propaganda CNN is spouting for any given hour?
He’s almost 100% to blame for Biden being in office. If Barr had done his job we wouldn’t be in this awful predicament. This guy is a total POS and talking directly out of his ass about what we’re up against since he caused it. Like he’s some kind of Pontius Pilate who washed his hands and is therefore not guilty
Sorry, I am trying to be a fair-minded observer of how well someone refutes charges using facts at hand. Barr clearly did not do that. I am not weighing on the validity of her statements. Thank you.
I have serious doubts that Bill Barr will ever vote for Trump. Barr’s complicity in the coup against then president Trump May put him in prison if Trump returns to the WH. Barr is a liar and a demonstrated deep state operative.
What books are in a children's library is a threat to democracy? That's the thinking of a moron, which makes her the perfect CNN host.
Polythene Pam and Billbo Bagpipes.
Two losers.
I beg to differ. I like to call ball and strikes, especially on TV debates.
Obviously Barr isn’t going to find love here at FR, but he is still widely respected. Especially among moderates and independents, and those are the voters whose votes are actually up for grabs.
Talk is cheap and deeds are precious. ‘Eff Bushie Barr!
“Former Attorney General Bill Barr is not backing down on his support for Donald Trump, much to the dismay of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.”
I think this means Barr can kiss goodbye any more future invitations to be on CNN.
Yeah—mixed it up with the proverbial Law of Gross Tonnage, applicable to navigation in or near major ports!
Barr is trying to gain favor with Trump, sensing Trump is going to win and hoping Trump is kind and will not pursue him after sworn in.
There will be many more to follow. It will be telling, as even the deep staters will start to cover their ass and kiss Trump’s butt.
Anyone else thinking Barr is posturing to please Trump so he’s not investigated by Trump’s hopefully MAGA AG?
This isn’t about facts, since both Barr and Collins are relying on false narratives about Trump.
Any potential value that may derive from Barr’s position is based not on facts, but rather on his promotion of the “lesser of two evils” principle of politics.
However bankrupt these two are when it comes to telling the truth about Trump, it is commendable that Barr is advancing this oft maligned principle - lesser of two evils - for the survival of the Republic may depend on the begrudging votes of Trump haters who are pragmatic enough to accept that there are worse things than a Trump Presidency.
I will be happy to accept the reluctant votes of Trump haters, no matter how begrudging.
I agree 100%. What is commendable about Barr is his lack of ego in this instance. He is brave enough to support a man who throws a long list of insults at him, because Barr knows this is not about him.
If that’s a Barr endorsement then I’d rather he vote Biden.
What a scumbag.
“He is brave enough to support a man who throws a long list of insults at him..”
I wouldn’t say “brave”. He’s pragmatic enough to realize he’s in the same boat with everyone else and that the Democrats are sinking it. Meanwhile, everything President Trump said about this backstabbing traitor was true, and he doesn’t deserve any praise.
But like I said - I’ll take his vote any day - and hopefully, he will influence other backstabbing traitors to do the same.
