Attorney General William Barr is one of the most “dangerous” men in Washington, according to Rep. Ted Lieu.
“Attorney General Bill Barr is now one of the most dangerous men in Washington, D.C.,” Lieu told reporters after Barr refused to appear before the House Judiciary Committee.
Lieu said there are three reasons he’s so dangerous.
“For three reasons, first, he intentionally mischaracterized the Mueller report, he was then told by Robert Mueller that he mischaracterized the Mueller report and instead of apologizing he doubles down and continues to mislead the American people,” Lieu said.
He’s conveniently forgetting to mention that Mueller later amended his concern and directed it toward how the media portrayed his report. He didn’t dispute the accuracy of Barr’s summary. Also, nothing changes the fact that there’s no collusion and no obstruction.
“Second, today he ignored the … oversight responsibilities of Congress and lawfully issued subpoenas,” he continued.
“And third, right now he is suing to eliminate your healthcare coverage. Let’s not forget right now he is suing in court to eliminate preexisting conditions healthcare coverage and taking healthcare coverage away from millions of Americans. We in Congress will reign him in, we will hold him accountable,” he added.
Gotta love how the last point has nothing to do with the first two. Democrats are desperate, throwing a ton of narratives out there and going with whatever sticks.
