Former Attorney General
Bill Barr has been the talk of the political world for the past week — after
his stunning proclamation that former President
Donald Trump is “toast” if half of the 37-count indictment against him is true. Now, after a week of
personal insults from the former president, Barr is fighting back with an utterly brutal assessment of his old boss.
In a stunning CBS interview on Sunday with
Robert Costa, Barr doubled down on his opinion that Trump has only himself to blame for his current predicament.
“This is not a circumstance where he’s the victim or this is government overreach,” Barr said. “He provoked this whole problem himself. Yes, he’s been the victim of unfair witch hunts in the past. But that doesn’t obviate the fact that he’s also a fundamentally flawed person who engages in reckless conduct. And that leads to situations, calamitous situations like this, which are very destructive and hurt any political cause he’s associated with.”
The former attorney general did say that while Trump has “many good qualities” and “accomplished some good things,” his actions ultimately endanger the GOP cause.
“He is a consummate narcissist and he constantly engages in reckless conduct that that puts his political followers at risk and the conservative and Republican agenda at risk,” he said.
Barr then added this jawdropping postscript:
Barr is about to become the number one enemy of Trump Humpers and the Trump cult.
I wonder if Barr is going to testify against Trump.
Watch out Barr, they will be coming for you.
