Despite Bill Barr’s repeatedly voicing concerns about Donald Trump, he has now said he will vote for him again this November

Bill Barr has claimed Donald Trump often suggested executing his political rivals during heated moments of his four-year tenure in the White House.

Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin told The View back in December that Mr Trump once called for a staff member to be put to death for leaking a story about the then-president going down to a bunker during Black Lives Matter protests in summer 2020.

Former Trump administration attorney general Mr Barr was asked about the claims during an interview on CNN last week.

    Then, endorsed him for president.
    Is he really dumb enough to not realize he’s going to be on the list if Trump gets re-elected?

      This is the guy who wanted the Imperial Presidency, where the President is practically a king. Instead of finding some kind of enlightened philosopher king, he finds Donald Trump.

      I used to not understand Barr, because he didn’t seem to be a complete idiot, but now I think he might actually be an idiot.

        IMHO, he’s hedging his bets. turnip isn’t exactly a barr fan so he’s calculating that he’ll stay off the list after the next election. he knows that nothing he says matters and so is laying the groundwork to keep his head.

          Still an idiot. Fascists won’t accept anything other than 100% loyalty to the leader. Barr is far from the only one to fall into this trap.
