In a Fox News interview, William Barr delivered a series of alarmingly delusional views on the coronavirus

William Barr Photo: Shutterstock William Barr is obviously pretty far gone into MAGA world. But the most curious thing about his tenure is not how deeply he has politicized the Department of Justice, but how little he has done to maintain the veneer of credibility he had at the outset. Barr could have operated as Trump’s Roy Cohn within the areas he had control over, while maintaining his sober Washington wise-man demeanor, so as to lend his decisions maximum credibility.

In fact, Trump tried to close off travel from China, but failed. After his “ban” on travel from China, 40,000 people still flew to the United States from there. Second, the coronavirus arrived in the United States via Europe, and has spread throughout the country. Given these proved failures, it’s beyond bizarre that Barr would repeat this Trump boast.

In the real world, Trump has spent nearly every day accusing reporters, Democrats and sometimes apolitical officials in his own administration, of plotting against him; spreading conspiracy theories; inventing new bullying nicknames for Democratic governors ; demanding praise; and denying all responsibility for his catastrophic failures.3. The lesson here is not to worry about climate change.

Again, Trump has been obsessed with controlling the border. The coronavirus spread here anyway. It didn’t arrive at “the border” at all, but through plane travel from Europe. Even sealing off all travel from overseas is not going to stop a pandemic if you can’t detect it extremely early.

I keep looking for the day when people start to turn on these sick clowns starting with Trump and going down his insane administration.

Barr is a fraud

GFY

Also, thinks they are “reshaping the world” ...WHAT A KNEE SLAPPER!

You’ve had a “alarmingly delusional” views on MANY many things. Why does every “news” source in NY think they are the messiah

Your magazine is biased. Look at your title

he's not deluded nor an idiot, he knows what he's doing. He's placing job security and pleasing Trump (hmm, same thing no?) above all else.

With every Barr interview, all you need to do is change the last word of that sentence.

Barr's obviously in 'early onset' stage. How else can one explain such a quick decline.

AG Barr calls coronavirus restrictions 'draconian,' says they should be reevaluated next monthAG William Barr said officials should be 'very careful to make sure...that the draconian measures that are being adopted are fully justified, and there are not alternative ways of protecting people.' Why do you keep giving this deranged fool media time? Bill Barr is not an economic or health expert, what he is saying about CV-19 is about as valuable as the shit in my cat’s litter box

White House working on plan to cut aid to WHOWhite House Office of Management and Budget is working on a possible plan for cutting U.S. aid to the World Health Organization, admin. officials say. Trump knew in December, maybe even November. WHO declared a public health emergency on 1/30 & a pandemic on 3/11. Trump knew about this for a long time. Trump could have called a national health emergency. He finally started to act on 3/30 - recommending dangerous medications 😡 It’s just another way of him apportioning blame to distract from his own failings. Deflection. The Repub way!
