Bill Barr Says He’ll Support Trump in 2024 Because the ‘Far Left’ Is a Greater Threat to Democracy (Despite Calling Him a Crook and Saying He’d Jump Off a Bridge If Donald Was the Nominee)

Former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr announced he will support Trump in November after resigning in the final days of his administration and repeatedly publicly denouncing Trump for his actions leading up to 6 January.

Barr, 73, made the comments on Fox News after bluntly telling NBC last year that “I have made it clear that I strongly oppose Trump for the nomination and will not support Trump.”

The longtime Republican also detailed how he had struggled with the binary choice presented by the two major party candidates. “I’ll jump off that bridge when I get to it,” he said.

“The Biden administration is, in fact, the greatest threat to democracy,” the former AG told Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Saturday, during a critical period leading up to the start of the first-ever criminal trial of a former president.

He cited the influence of the “far left” during a campaign in which Biden faced criticism from a growing pro-Palestinian faction, on a weekend in which the House of Representatives pushed through a package of bills Biden had requested that included military aid to Ukraine. Israel and Taiwan.

Barr, who has endured public insults from Trump since his split in December 2020, sounded optimistic about many of Trump’s policies during his time in office.

“But at the end of the day, you have to remember that I was in his administration,” he told Cavuto on his “Cavuto Live” show. ‘I thought his policy was fine. I think his policy was a good policy. My problems stemmed from his behavior, which I found very disturbing after the election.”

Barr’s testimony before the House committee on January 6 produced impressive video during televised hearings. He said he told Trump his claims of widespread election fraud were “bull****.” These claims are at the heart of the criminal charges Trump now faces in Georgia and Washington, DC

But on Fox, Barr said the threat from Biden and the left was greater.

‘I think they have a totalitarian character. They have joined the progressive movement. And they are trying to suppress opposition and freedom of expression,” he said.

“It’s a heavy-handed gang of thugs in my opinion, and that’s where the threat lies,” said Barr, who stood next to Trump during his infamous Bible photo op during George Floyd protests in front of the White House.

He said he was “not happy” with the choice of Trump and Biden, calling it a “terrible choice.”

He called Trump the person who would do “the least damage in the country.”

He called the Biden administration the “bigger threat to democracy.”

Cavuto pointed out that Barr publicly said Trump “knew well he lost the election” and called Trump’s actions following the Jan. 6 indictment “sickening” and “despicable” and that he was “nowhere near the oval office ‘ could be.

“I’m having a hard time squaring that,” Cavuto said.

“I don’t think Biden should be anywhere near the Oval Office, that’s the fact,” Barr responded.

He has signaled his move toward Trump. Last week he said “I will support the Republican ticket,” in language similar to that of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has not spoken to Trump since Jan. 6 but ultimately endorsed him.

“Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but a continuation of the Biden administration is, in my opinion, national suicide,” Barr said.

Barr resigned from his position effective two days before Christmas 2020 after publicly contradicting Trump’s claims of a “rigged” election.
