'A Very Strange Speech': What AG Barr's Words Mean | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Something tells me barr has never served in the millitary.
@American Educational Archive 👍
@Roald Shakleton best comment. Straight up.
Look at his obese body. Of course he’s never served in the military.
@Cronenberg Morty and eat them as well.
Barr too fat to serve in the millitary.
Trump girl.lol
Racism is so American that when people protest they say we are protesting America!
u make a really good point- it actually clarifies things a lot.
Any wait to see him & his master in orange jumpsuits
@Judith Benoit I understand that not all whites are racist…it is just that the non racist whites haven’t made a real difference to stop institutional racism altogether. They have softly let it exist all this time.
That’s why Barr is crazy because Trump said if I go down you go down
@Bartleby Jonze You are correct we have been lacking in courage to speak up.That has now changed.People are waking up to the horror the have ignored…..far too long
Hoping for the orange suits. Will new jails have to be built to house all these political criminals?
Genuine question. What did General Flynn plead guilty to? Be specific.
This man has gone just crazy, just like Trump!
Alfredo. Sagredo Romero pedestrian
Everyone in this administration is desperate because they know the heat will be on after January 2021.
@Jackson Whitaker a 2020 Derrick following orders of execution whether right or wrong
But a malice intent by wrong status virtue .
He’s always been a republican fixer/crook that believes in authoritarianism not democracy
@Marian Taylor You were able to understand that syntactically incoherent rant?
Trump and bar are pretending they are not racist , “too late “
@Kathleen Koval How long have you been libtarded?
And Joe Biden is doing a great job showing he’s not racist besides senile?
Neither Barr nor Trump care if you know they are rabid, flight racists.
@Henry Eberhardt Money, as in selling human beings is what got us Americans in this inhumane mess!
@Sue Zbell Exactly!
Hello, military and vets: WE NEED YOU.
Walt Schmidt, I believe the iceberg has come in the form of the virus. Biden, he’s not my choice either, but we must be delivered from the current wanna be dictator occupant. He is not the right person for all of America. When he won, I held my critic of him, but after the last five years of him being on the public platform and his revolving door of an administration, giving his children positions in the cabinet, calling a serious threat to the health of Americans a HOAX being first to politicize it but lies the democrats did, he speaks with two faces, lying over 20,000 times, childish vindictive behaviors, name calling, insulting, always speaking fear, fear, terror of the border, same old 2016 rhetoric, the divisive bully has failed us.

The military will follow the orders of their generals, the generals will follow the orders of whoever is paying them off. Americans always waiting for a savior, nobody is coming to save you okay.
@Richard Hunt Just Biden your time?
@ryvr madduck Wow, really? I’m sorry.
Why is he still walking around with his diploma in hand🤔 disbarment would be the right thing to do!!
👍
Hopefully we won’t have to worry about what he is saying in a couple of months and is under investigation by the same DOJ.
The same DOJ that he has just insulted and vilified. He’s put himself on tape, that can be used at his trial.😀
Re-election coming stooge. Hope all you want.
@Walt Schmidt RIGHT! BIDEN all the way, thanks for the reminder.
Something is happening with his head He is running out of his brains.
What brains? The right side there’s nothing left and the left side there’s nothing right!
Seriously. Now everyone wants to be surprised by this, he has backed every mean, stupid and outrageous thing 45 has done.
The new fixer for tRump!!!
Barr is in a prison of his own intellect. No insane defence when Justice comes calling. Traitors all of Trump lot.
Barr is evil & toxic. Staying home to stop the spread of death is just being responsible.
“I don’t think science knows” -person who claimed there were airports in 1776.
Wait I thought Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain boys captured the airports. It’s not true?
🤔🤣🤣😂😂
Yes, misspeaking never happens. It’s not as if your candidate claimed on the debate stage that 150 million people died from gun violence in the US since Bernie Sanders voted on some gun bill. It’s not like your candidate has a problem remembering what city/state he’s in, or even what is a city or what is a state.
But yes. That time when I accidentally referenced a Susan B Anthony speech at a temperance luncheon as having been made in 1949 rather than 1849, that should have been the absolute end of my credibility.
Yes stupid liars
@karen straughan seriously are you that blind to the truth. Trump is the worst Pres ever..
Where would a draft in time of war- to protect the nation- fit in with the AG’ s logic
Excellent counter point…!!!!!
bone spurs!
Looks like he’s learned to speak with his hands, like his boss!
I call it playing his
“Air-ccordian” and he’s been taking lessons from Trump.
when the president and ag team together there is no control over them. senate doesn’t do their job
The republicans hold the majority in the Senate so they are not going to do anything. Vote blue and let’s change things
So when AG Eric Holder described himself as Obama’s Wing Man, I assume you were just as upset. And totally just as worried about what they’d get up to.
And you’re the greatest intrusion to America’s democracy!
He’s doing a great job distracting from his boss’s crimes.
EXACTLY…the media needs to stop acting like kittens chasing the furry toy and stay focused on the real shyte that is going on! COME ON MEDIA DO BETTER…we ALL know it’s all misdirection….4 years in…tax records…etc etc!
What crimes?
I didn’t t know u can be a AG, Russian agent, and a campaign manager at the same time?!
Barr -“Slavery was a different kind of restraint.” Of all Bill’s comments, that one is going in the history books.
