The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board has asked its readers to heed William Barr’s latest warning about Donald Trump, as well as the former attorney general’s warning about what would happen if the former president earned a second term in office.
Barr slammed Trump’s first term as a “horror show” last week. He projected that even if Trump were to win the 2024 election, he would fail to deliver on conservative ideals.
The Journal concurred heartily.
“The rebuttal from the Trump establishment will be to cite his first term, but that record supports Mr. Barr’s point,” it said. “We also support many of Mr. Trump’s policies, which we supported during his presidency.” However, his greatest significant policy successes were given by those he now refers to as “RINOs.”
“A fuller account of Mr. Trump’s Presidency can wait for other days, but Mr. Barr’s warning is one that GOP voters deserve to hear,” it added. Republicans “have to decide if they want to let Democrats make their nominating choice for them, while ignoring Mr. Barr’s warning about the policy risks of a second Trump term.”
