Bill Barr Changes Position


The former Attorney General Bill Barr appeared on Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom" on Wednesday where he stated that he will be supporting Donald Trump in the upcoming November election. Barr, who has had disagreements with the former president in the past, explained his decision by saying "given two bad choices, I think it's my duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country." This statement implies that Barr believes Trump would be a better option compared to the alternative, which he refers to as the "danger" of the progressive left.

During the interview, co-host Bill Hemmer asked Barr about his thoughts on a hush-money case involving the former president. Barr responded by calling the case "outrageous" and proceeded to express his concerns about the "excesses of the progressive left" and their impact on the justice system. He stated, "The real threat to liberty, the real threat to our system are the excesses of the progressive left. They are perverting the system of justice, and that's where the danger lies."

Barr's support for Trump in the upcoming election might not come as a surprise to some, considering his strong conservative beliefs. However, his statement that the "corruption and subversion of our institutions" lies with the left may draw criticism from those who do not share the same views. Although Barr has previously expressed his disagreements with Trump, it seems that he is willing to put them aside and endorse him for the sake of the country.

When asked by Hemmer if he would support Trump if he becomes the presumptive nominee in 2024, Barr replied, "I will vote the Republican ticket. I will support the Republican ticket." This reaffirms his stance as a loyal Republican and his commitment to supporting the party's chosen candidate. However, he also clarified that this is only his personal opinion and that he does not speak on behalf of the Republican Party.

Barr's appearance on Fox News raised some eyebrows as he explicitly expressed his views about the current political landscape. He criticized the progressive agenda and referred to the continuation of the Biden administration as "national suicide." This strong language shows Barr's stance on the current state of affairs and his beliefs on which political ideology poses a greater threat to the country.

Although his statements may come across as political, Barr's background as a former Attorney General brings an element of credibility to his opinions. He served as the 85th United States Attorney General during Trump's administration and was known for his conservative views on issues such as immigration, the Mueller investigation, and civil rights.

Barr's support for Trump in the upcoming election has caused some backlash, especially from those who believe that Trump's actions during his presidency were unconstitutional and harmful to the country. However, Barr's decision to endorse Trump could also be seen as a strategic move to unite the Republican Party and secure a victory for their side in the upcoming election.
