Former Attorney General Bill Barr is not waivering from his support of his former boss, former President Donald Trump, no matter how much some in the media pressure him.
CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins gave a full court press to the former attorney general to get him to change his mind but it did not work.
“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,” he said to the host. “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 the Biden administration.”
“The Biden administration, or President Biden himself,” the host hit back.
“Biden’s support for the progressive agenda,” the former attorney general said.
The host insisted that Americans were losing their freedoms and that the former president was a “threat to democracy” but that did not work either.
“Well, where are we losing our freedoms?” Barr said. “How are our freedoms being constrained. They’re being constrained by, the progressive government and, you know, democracy, especially, you know, from the Anglosphere democracies, the Five Eyes and so forth, the threat’s never been from autocratic government on the right.”
“The threat to freedom and democracy has always been on the left,” he said. “It’s the collectivist, socialist agenda. And that is where we’re losing our freedom. Parents are losing the freedom to control their children’s education. And, you know, people can’t speak their mind without losing their jobs and things like that. This is worse than the McCarthy era. Where is that coming from? It’s not coming from the right.”
She even attempted to persuade the former attorney general by mentioning the former president’s challenges to the 2020 presidential election.
“Those are the threats to democracy,” Barr said. “Major changes are being made in our country without the democratic process. And they’re being made by bureaucrats in these agencies.”
Collins then attempted one last tack as she changed the subject, and it, again, did not work.
“Okay. Pause! You cannot argue that Republicans across the country are not doing that as well,” she said. “My own hometown, there’s a huge fight at the library over which books kids can read. This is not something that is a single-party fight.”
“Don’t you think there should be some limits on what people are able to read?” the former attorney general said.
