Bill Barr Bristles At Fox Anchor Asking Why He’s Defending Trump After Having ‘Turned’ On Him – By Caleb Howe (Mediaite) / Sept 21, 2022
Fox News anchor Sandra Smith asked former attorney general Bill Barr on Wednesday how he would respond to people essentially calling him a flip-flopper on ex-president Donald Trump, and he responded with a slam on media who frame questions the way Smith just did.
After New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the civil fraud lawsuit against Trump, his adult children, and his company, Barr was one of many dozens of political somebodies brought on cable news to analyze and react. Mostly, those reactions echoed CNN’s Alisyn Camerota, who said, “It is amazing that it took so long for someone to hold him responsible.”
Barr, on the other hand, slammed the attorney general for “gross overreach” and described it as a “political hit job.”
“I think it will make people sympathetic for Trump, that this is another example of people piling on because of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the strong desire to punish him,” said Barr among his several criticisms.
