And I think Trump would do less damage than Biden,\u201d Barr said. \u201cI think all this stuff about a threat to democracy, I think the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement and the Biden administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barr said that the threat specifically was Biden\u2019s \u201csupport for the progressive agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere are we losing our freedoms? How are our freedoms being constrained? They\u2019re being constrained by the progressive government,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd democracy, especially from the Anglosphere of democracies, the Five Eyes and so forth, the threat\u2019s never been from autocratic government on the Right, a right-wing strongman \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins interrupted and asked Barr to give specifics of how Biden was threatening democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe threat to freedom and democracy has always been on the Left. It\u2019s the collectivist, socialist agenda. And that is where we\u2019re losing our freedom,\u201d he said. \u201cParents are losing the freedom to control their children\u2019s education. And people can\u2019t speak their mind without losing their jobs, and things like that. This is worse than the McCarthy Era. Where is that coming from? It\u2019s not coming from the Right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not enforcing our borders, we have open borders, we have lawlessness in our cities,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe have regulations coming fast and furious \u2014 telling people what kind of stoves they can use, and what kinds of cars they have to drive, and eliminating cars and so forth.
