Barr, who said Trump shouldn't be near Oval Office, says he will vote for him in 2024

Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who previously said that Donald Trump shouldn’t be near the Oval Office, told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Friday that he would vote for the former president over President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.

“I think that Biden is unfit for office,” Barr said on “The Source” in a wide-ranging interview. “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.”

Collins pressed Barr – who has been highly critical of his former boss – “Just to be clear, you’re voting for someone who you believe tried to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, that can’t even achieve his own policies, that lied about the election even after his attorney general told him that the election wasn’t stolen … you’re going to vote for someone who is facing 88 criminal counts?”

Barr began, “Look, the 88 criminal counts, a lot of those are-“

Barr was more critical of Trump after he was indicted in the federal election subversion case last year. Speaking to Collins in August, the former attorney general described Trump’s alleged actions as detailed in the indictment as “nauseating” and “despicable,” adding “someone who engaged in that kind of bullying about a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self-government shouldn’t be anywhere near the Oval Office.”

8 months later, he's saying he'll vote for Trump -- the despicable, nauseating, bully who shouldn't be anywhere near the Oval Office.

Why is airtime still being given to these completely unserious apologists for autocracy?

Barr is a fascist. He’s a lickspittle to the people above him, an authoritarian to the people below him.
He falls into line when ordered.

He genuflected to every Trump request of his office and did nothing to pursue Trumps own illegalities. So just like the congressional ass kissers, he sat there and did nothing. Of course he'll vote for Trump, he is covering his ass just in case Trump gets elected.
