“Barr’s overweening egotism, so flamboyantly displayed in his new book and accompanying promotional appearances, is second only to Donald Trump himself,” Heather Digby Parton writes at Salon.
Barr is, as always, the same right-wing extremist he’s always been–except now more so. “In his book, Barr rails against everything and everyone to the left of Ted Cruz,” Parton writes. “Barr goes to incredible lengths to excuse Trump’s crude and ignorant behavior as president.”
Barr committed perjury and obstruction of justice on multiple occasions. Barr’s memoir is an example of corporate publishing at its most toxic. He is a criminal who should never have been given a platform at all, let alone being so overpaid for his book that William Morrow had to set up a publicity blitz to try to recoup their money–and I don’t think they will.
