Former President Donald Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr have had a newsworthy falling out since the end of Trump's term.
The war of words between the pair escalated recently but not like this.
Until now.
Barr has scolded his old boss for his perceived lack of self-discipline as a defendant. But Barr also said the hush money case against Trump should have never been brought.
He has speculated that Manhattan DA Alvin Brag hopes to elevate Trump to his advantage in the Republican primaries but his disadvantage in the general election.
The 45th president didn't like that. Not one bit.
As Mediaite reports:
Trump has gone after Barr before, but never as brutally insulting as this, calling him a “Slovenly, Lethargic Coward” and a “Stone Cold LOSER!” which neatly reflects the professional wrestling rhetorical ethos that the former president so comfortably employs.
Barr appeared on CNN Primetime Thursday evening for an interview with Kaitlan Collins. He wasn't terribly harsh on Trump but refused to defend his former boss in light of multiple criminal investigations.
Trump responded in characteristic fashion on his social media site:
So many legal scholars & pundits have viewed my lawsuit against lying, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, a disbarred lawyer, as being meritorious – a very good one. Some have stated, “It's about time!” Slovenly, Lethargic Coward, Bill Barr, who didn't have the “guts” to fight election fraud, & more, because he was afraid he was going to be impeached by the Radical Left Lunatics – The Democrats – disagrees. Barr is a Globalist RINO spokesman for Fox & the WSJ. He is a Stone Cold LOSER!
Barr discussed the legal threats facing the former president and what he believes is Trump's greatest liability:
