The Daily Show: Ears Edition

In his book, William Barr detailed his time as Attorney General in the Trump administration and criticized Trump's actions after the 2020 election, but stated that he would still vote for Trump over a Democrat in the next election.

I told him that all this stuff was bulls*** and about election fraud. And, uh, you know, it was wrong to be shoveling it out the way his team was.

He was obviously getting very angry about this. I said, okay, well, look, I understand you're upset with me and I'm perfectly happy to tender my resignation. And then boom. He slapped the desk. He slapped the desk and he said, accepted, accepted. Don't go back to your office. Go home. You're done.

After the election, he went off the rails. He wouldn't listen to anybody except a little coterie of sick of fans who were telling him what he wanted to hear.

I certainly have made it clear. I don't think he should be our nominee and I'm gonna, you know, support somebody else for the nomination. But if he is the nominee, and you have your choices, Donald Trump or whoever's running on the Democratic side, would you vote for him? Because I believe that the greatest threat to the country is the progressive agenda being pushed by the Democratic Party.

It's inconceivable to me that I wouldn't vote for the Republican nominee. So even if he lied about the election and threatened democracy as you write in your book, well, it's better than a Democrat.

Well, I can't wait to hear the conversation. I can't wait to read the former attorney general's book, because if it does turn out to be a bad book, we we totally we never had him on this show.
