Bill Barr abandoned his principles and said he'd vote for Donald Trump. The former president decided to humiliate his former attorney general again anyway.
By mid-March, the race for the Republican Party's presidential nomination, to the extent that it ever existed, was over. Donald Trump had already won nearly every primary and caucus, and each of his intraparty rivals had ended their campaigns.
It was against this backdrop that the former president — after earning the label as the GOP's presumptive nominee — decided to continue publicly ridiculing New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, largely because he'd backed Nikki Haley's campaign.
Trump didn't need to go after the Republican governor again, but the former president doesn't just like prevailing over foes and critics, he also likes humiliating them after the fight is over.
Trump responds:
"Wow! Former A.G. Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating Voter Fraud in our Country, has just Endorsed me for President despite the fact that I called him 'Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy' (New York Post!). Based on the fact that I greatly appreciate his wholehearted Endorsement, I am removing the word 'Lethargic' from my statement. Thank you Bill. MAGA2024!"
