Attorney General Bill Barr compared Covid-19 shutdowns to slavery and said ‘too much deference’ was given to career prosecutors instead of political appointees. He has also said prosecutors should consider charging protesters under felony sedition laws. Commentators are worried about the increasingly authoritarian tone of his statements, and what actions he would take if kept in power. Aired on 09/17/2020.

Attorney General Barr Continues To Alarm With Remarks About The Rule Of Law – Day That Was | MSNBC
Someone need to show him how slavery is like for a few month or a few years. So that he can get a better perspective.
@Ryan Rickaby lol quarantine and slavery shouldn’t ever be mentioned in the same realm of context lol haha.
Better yet, prison.
@Sakeena cute. now go ahead and re-read the original comment and my comment… he said slavery is the worst ever and the original comment says some1 needs to show him what slavery is like…. so is he saying slavery is good then? Ur comment is irrelevant to mine and his…. thanks for playing
Good luck trump is to braindead to teach him anything right .
Listen to what Barr actually said without the distortion an triggered commentary. Barr did not compare lockdowns to slavery. He said slavery was the worst, as in a category of it’s own. He said lockdowns of everyone’s businesses is an attack on our civil liberties. People are losing everything.
_”We will make sure, that whenever someone dies _*_with_*_ Covid 19… that we count that as a Covid death”_ – Dr. Deborah Birx, 7th of April 2020
Follow the money. Do a little research. Are hospitals receiving more money if its a covid19 death or covid patient? That’s incentive for hospitals, which the experts use as proof to justify shutting down everything, which the cover of your safety is their shield. Seems like the perfect plan.
@Mark Sebring Let me guess you also self diagnose with the help of google and the entrails of chickens.
@Jack O’Neil So Jack did you get your PhD at youtube university?
@ღSwnsasyღ _ “even if they died from a clear alternate cause, covid still goes on the death certificate.”
@Mark Sebring prove it, provide an example of a death certificate from one of the scenarios you just listed that cited covid19 as the cause of death. If a person is shot to death and tests positive for covid19 the death certificate will only cite the gunshot trauma as the cause of death, it may include they tested positive for covid19 but that’s simply for tracking the numbers of infections not citing it as the cause of death 😂😂😂.
yep – said it right sir! “rotten group of people in power”
Neal, that is the perfect way to describe Barr.. Once had some morals and ethics and once you touch Trump everything good about you goes right out the window..
Ha, you sound stupid
That’s because Barr, McConnell, Graham and Trump are one in the same.
Yeah, rule of law sucks because it should hold everyone to a standard. How dare he!
Better be careful. If everyone was held to the same standard Obamas whole adminisrtation would be behind bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dangelo Dorsey is the newest BLM hero. Will he get a gold casket, and will his victims be villified?

The media is alarmed on your behalf!
That’s not your job.
@Cort well what u just claimed didn’t happen lol so not sure where u get ur drugs from but lmk sounds like ur on good stuff…
Do u know anything about holder and Obama to compare to this or did u think politics started with trump?
@Brady Lambert Good sir, attempting to provoke any type of rational thought from a person who supports someone who defies rational thought is, at best, an up hill battle.
I gave up. My vote will be my voice. But good luck and best wishes.
@Brady Lambert How about both? I know your brain can’t allow fornthat option which is why you immediately deploy strawmen.
@Melinda Johnson Wanting unbiased reporting is irrational? Is that actually what you think?
@KVM this country is a constitutional Republic and will Never Ever be a democracy. Democracy is a form of Fascism. Leftists have always been fascist and they project on the right.
Rule of law is only “alarming” to criminals.
@Ryan Rickaby Yes, it is a term used for those folks who believe that some covert (often referred to as the “deep state” by you folks in the know) but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event; – – – you know, folks like Trump, his enabler, the Republican party and his brain-dead sycophants and acolytes.
@Borvo so u don’t know what it means lol I figured
@Ryan Rickaby It is obvious that you are the one that does not know what the term “conspiracy theorist” means. Google it!
I know that as a Trumpster looking for FACTS is foreign to you, but give it a try; – – – you might learn to like it!
@Borvo I understand that trump runs ur life and he is all u can think about.. ok I get it u love trump.. but I don’t like trump lol and haven’t said anything about him… what is it with u sycophants that u can only talk about trump?
U make a stupid argument about laws in nazis Germany get called out for being stupid then pretend I’m sum trump lover cuz that’s the only way some1 can dissagre with u right? Lol what a clown, stop being so tribal then maybe all the stupid will stop fallin outa ur mouth
@Borvo no1 is even talking about trump lol but u can’t help u self but to bring him up no matter the topic…
Ur like a battered wife who always has to bring her husband up no matter the convo… I’m sorry that trump lives rent free in ur head
If u need to talk about anything I’ll lisen bro, if u need help just ask, don’t hurt ur self or anyone else ok ur life matters ur important, try to have a better day bud
We need the rule of law now!!!!
Panic in DC
Hmmmm seems lile the rule of law is what a man in his position should be worried about.
What’s really funny is that these clips are all from differemt times and about random crap and clipped to fit a narritive. My question is, what’s he close to that’s got the media scrambling to smear him? Someone is scared and calling in favors🤣🤣
Everyone in DC needs to go. Term limits
Yes term limits get the dinosaurs out. How are we going to get a new dish when we use decaying ingredients.
Term limits are lazy democracy.
@Rudy Penza I agree. The voice of the voters count and they need to remove candidates who are unfit.
Bad boy in the principal’s office: 0:37 – 1:08
He can’t even stand anymore. Physically and metaphorically.
Him and Trump both are grossly obese.
Devon Lindsey BARR LOOKS AND ACTS
LIKE djt stupid, ugly, usess, bag of wind

HE is breaking the law…but like most
Trumpets he just doesn’t care..Disbarred him * toss him in jail
This is your mind on Republicanism.
Republicanism: The brain eating disease.
The time has come to bring these criminals too face Justice
Biden Harris 20/20
Don’t you mean Harris/Biden? Everyone knows parading Hidin’ Biden as the Cabdidate is just a ploy. He can’t even remember what he is running for. It is abuse of an elderly person with Dementia.
Wearing a mask slows the spread of the virus!!! A mask ALSO says …you care ABOUT others!!!
Barr is not the lawyer of the people, he is the enemy of the people!!!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 BIDEN/HARRIS 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
