During a recent interview, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr expressed his support for former President Donald Trump in the presidential race against President Joe Biden. Barr’s reasoning behind this endorsement is his belief that the true danger to the nation stems from the far-left.
Barr expressed his views during a Fox News interview with Neil Cavuto when questioned about his endorsement of the former president, while having previously spoken criticism towards him.
“At the end of the day, you have to remember — serving in his administration, I was fine with his policies. I think his policies were good policies. My problems came with his behavior which I found very troubling after the election. And I think the idea that he’s going to be an autocrat and take over power like some right-wing dictator is not the threat facing our country.” Barr stated.
“The threat to our country is from the far-left and the drift that’s been occurring toward really a socialistic system and one that brooks no opposition, that cancels people, that has only one viewpoint taught in colleges that tries to push parents out of the picture when it comes to the education of their children,” he continued.
“It is a heavy-handed bunch of thugs, in my opinion, and that’s where the threat is.” Barr concluded.
