Bill Barr Confirms Trump Wanted To Execute Americans, And Barr Still Supports Trump

In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlin Collins, former attorney general William Barr confirmed that Trump wanted to execute Americans.

Transcript:

COLLINS: I hear from a lot of Republicans, who defend Trump, saying, well, that's a hypothetical, and that's ridiculous.

But Alyssa Farah Griffin, who was Trump's communications director, posted yesterday and said, that you were present at a moment when Trump suggested executing the person, who leaked information that he went to the White House bunker, when those George Floyd protests were happening outside the White House.

Do you remember that?

BARR: I remember him being very mad about that. I actually don't remember him saying, executing. But I wouldn't dispute it, you know? I mean, it doesn't sound -- I mean, the President would lose his temper and say things like that. I doubt he would have actually carried it out. I don't, you know.

COLLINS: But he would say that on other occasions? You said he would lose his temper.

BARR: The President, you know, the President had a -- I think people sometimes took him too, literally. And he would say things like, similar to that in occasions, to blow off steam. But I wouldn't take him literally every time he did it.

COLLINS: Why not?

BARR: Because at the end of the day, it wouldn't be carried out, and you could talk sense into him.

Video:

Barr confirmed that Trump wanted to execute American citizens in the United States, but no one should take Trump seriously because he is just blowing off steam, and people could talk him out of it.

The biggest problem isn’t that Trump wants to be a dictator with the power to kill the nation’s citizens. The real problem is that Republicans like Barr continue to support Trump.
