DEMOCRATS have been targeting President Trump from “day one” of his 2016 term, Attorney General William Barr says.
During an interview on Life, Liberty & Levin, Barr claimed Democrats have abandoned moderate stances in favor of increasingly extreme left-wing ideas, reported Fox News.

“[The left has] pulled away from the umbrella of classical liberal values that have undergirded [America],” Barr said.
The Attorney General also identified that impeachment attempts by Democrats have been pushed since Trump was first elected.
“They were trying to impeach him from day one. They have done everything they can,” he said. “And I think it’s because of the desire for power that the left wants
Barr additionally discussed the organization Black Lives Matter.
He described the group as having been wrongfully construed as a noble activist group by the media, which he says is “extremely monolithic” and “wedded in many ways to the Democratic Party.”
“They [Black Lives Matter] are a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism. They’re essentially Bolsheviks. Their tactics are fascistic,” he said.
“The American people are being told a lie by the media,” Barr said of the portrayal of protesters.
The political instability is comparable to a new form of “urban guerrilla warfare,” he said.
Barr asserted that power has grown to become a “secular religion of the left.”
He gave Levin a grim characterization of how he sees the American left.
“They want to run people’s lives so they can design utopia for all of us…and it’s the lust for power.
“And they weren’t expecting Trump’s victory. And it outrages them.”
