Really? Are you serious? Executing people ought to be taken seriously. Wake Up America !

Bill Barr is a complete joke as a human being.

[marthamurphy]

Well, he did call for execution of the Central Park 5 after they were found to be innocent. And he did call for suspending the Constitution.

[rbw]

And this is a prime example of why this man should be behind bars now. He is criminally insane

[taz]

The frightening thing is if Trump gets back in office, they will let him carry out what he wants. There will be no guardrails.

[EamonnS]

From being a bully on "The Apprentice" to POTUS. Insane.

[roxannevlogs]

How Trump has any supporters is just bizarre

[Wattersedg]

I've said it before now. I'm saying it again. Bill Barr needs to be investigated. He covered up many things for Trump.

[EmilyDonahue]

I once told my doctor that I didn't want to live. I was immediately put in a mental hospital. We have rules about behaviour. Why should Trump's words not have any consequences?

[euanaird]

If you say such a thing once, it's accepted as a joke, but multiple times? That goes beyond 'blowing off steam.'

[KatyYoder-cqkc]

What part of Psychopathic Narcissist are people not getting?

[tridentyyz]

When Bill Barr rides a bike, it doesn't go anywhere because he is always back-pedaling

[lowtech]

The gaslighting with these jokers is exasperating and repugnant

[cathyfrank]

A couple of good old boys sitting around a campfire and saying something like that would be stupid, but the president of the united states talking about executing people is quite literally INSANE! Bill Barr laughing that off is equally insane.

[sunshinelizard]

How is anyone supposed to know when Trump is serious, "blowing off steam" or joking? Why would anyone be willing to tolerate such ambiguity from a president?!

[PhoenixFlamezz]

And you wonder why he thinks he should have total immunity to do whatever he wants.

[rawlsartgallery]

Amazing how breaking laws does not disqualify this clown from running. These guys are sick.

[elizabethshedd]

If I'm in the room with someone and that person uses the word "execution, " I'd remember it. What a liar.

[pauldutcher]

If you said these things on your front yard the police would be called!

[mikemahoney]

Barr making excuses for Trump is disgusting, not surprising but disgusting
