From Foes To Friends: Bill Barr's Details His Bizarre Twist To Back Trump

This endorsement comes despite their well-documented disagreements and public disputes. Barr, aged 73, has dismissed the idea that Trump's potential return to the presidency would be more detrimental to democracy than President Biden's current administration. Instead, he has voiced concerns about the increasing influence of the "far left."

In an interview on Fox News' "Cavuto Live" on Saturday, Barr stated, "The Biden administration is in fact the greater threat to democracy." He went on to express his belief that the current administration has a "totalitarian temper" and has fully embraced the progressive movement. Barr accused the Biden administration of attempting to suppress opposition and freedom of speech, describing them as a "heavy-handed bunch of thugs."
