Attorney General Barr disappointed by partisan attacks on President Trump during COVID-19 crisis
Story continues below advertisementAttorney General William Barr told “The Ingraham Angle” Wednesday that he was disappointed over the partisan attacks leveled against President Trump during the coronavirus pandemic and blasted reporters for waging a “jihad” to discredit the effectiveness of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
“It’s very disappointing because I think the president went out at the beginning of [the coronavirus pandemic] and really was statesmanlike, trying to bring people together, working with all the governors,” Barr said. “Keeping his patience as he as he got these snarky, gotcha questions from the White House media pool and the stridency of the partisan attacks on him has gotten higher and higher.”
Barr’s criticism toward the media sharpened when he addressed the coverage of hydroxychloroquine and its possible role in the fight against the coronavirus. He said before the president mentioned the drug, the media was fair in its coverage but as soon as Trump mentioned it, “the media has been on a jihad to discredit the drug,” Barr said. “It’s quite strange.”
Host Laura Ingraham asked Barr about the possibility of extending the shutdown and its impact on the country. Barr said a depression would make the health care system “weaker.”
“We cannot keep for a long period of time our economy shut down just on the public health thing. It means less cancer. Cancer researchers or at home. A lot of the disease reaches researchers who will save lives in the future. That’s being held in abeyance,” Barr said. “The money that goes into these institutions, whether philanthropic sources or government sources, is going to be reduced. We will have a weaker health care system if we go into a deep depression. So it just measured it in lives. The cure cannot be worse than the disease.
The attorney general lamented the loss of family businesses during the shutdown, saying after the 30-day period the U.S. needs to “find a way” to allow businesses to adapt.
“But when you think of everything else, generations of families who have built up businesses for generations in this country and recent immigrants who have built up businesses, snuffed out. Small businesses that may not be able to come back if this goes on too long,” Barr said. “So we have to find, after the 30-day period, we have to find a way of allowing businesses to adapt to this situation and figure out how they can best get started.”

Barr is on hold moving to mete out justice to corrupt Demonicrats, including Hillary, Comey, Obama deep staters and Obama himself.
No justice. Just empty words. Same with Durham.

Just remember, Barr is a double-edge sword.
Or rather a shield but not a sword.
He will defend Republicans and investigate the Deep State, BUT he will stop short of indicting bad actors. to give the appearance of misguided independence.

example: Barr will help Roger Stone, but he will also NOT indict Comey.
so he can say he’s a just and non-political AG.

LOL ! Its 86 year old proven drug not just for malaria but for Lupus and arthritis ! And Media propaganda nazis are Lying that “Trump is promoting unproven” drug !
Doctors have used this drug and got patients recovering faster with better survival rates than without it . what more proof anyone needs ? This is basis of promoting the drug as cure . And Trump should have used this as evidence. but he just promotes the drug without stating why .
And Media love such half assed statements from Trump to go after him
And you know why ? because Pharma crooks were salivating on new drug or vaccine that they could use to charge $ 2000 – $10000 per patient . vaccine is even better …force everyone to get it for $200 – 1000 and that would be Billions !
Guess what ? HCQ cost just $25 per patient !
Guess what ? This Drug manufactured by 3 well known indian companies that has been producing and exporting this drug all over the world for over 40- 50 years has been “banned” earlier by Corrupt FDA on frivilous grounds so these quality generic drugs can be kept out and new patented unproven overpriced drugs by crooked American pharma co’s can be sold to ignorant American patients to fleece them !
That is the reason why there are media propaganda against HCQ .

Every nurse and doctor my family has talked to is willing to prescribe chloroquine if any Chicom coronavirus symptoms occur. They have also said they will use it for self and family. The leftist media wants “if it bleeds, it leads” not only to discredit Trump but prop up their declining subscribers and advertisers.

My sentiments are “f*ck the media”. Journalism in this country isn’t dead, it’s decomposing.

The American media are an extension of the Chinese media. NBC even regurgitated Chinese propaganda recently.

That’s real nice of Barr to admit that, but he’s doing little about the stopping of Corruption in our Government, so pushing the attention onto the PIGS of MSM is not fooling Us, Barr.

If millions have to die to get Trump, CNN would be happy
