Hello,
As Attorney General, William Barr's major priorities should be to uphold the law and protect the civil liberties of all Americans.
However, after last week's House Judiciary Committee hearing, it was clear Barr has one priority -- protecting his boss, Donald Trump.
Barr defended Trump's false allegations that mail-in ballots would lead to widespread voter fraud. He also toed the administration's line by rejecting the idea that institutional racism existed within law enforcement.
Most chillingly, Barr called the protests surrounding George Floyd's death "an assault on the Government of the United States" and justified the presence of federal law enforcement in cities such as Portland and Chicago sent to stop the protests.
As Democratic member Pramila Jayapal noted, the Trump administration only seems to justify this use of force for unarmed Black Lives Matter protesters -- not the armed right-wing protesters who stormed state capitals earlier in the COVID pandemic. In Jayapal's words:
"You take an aggressive approach to Black Lives Matter protests but not right-wing extremists threatening to lynch a governor, if it is for the president's benefit."
It's clear Barr doesn't care about the American people -- only about aiding and abetting his lawless boss. That's why we want to hear from you:
