If you spent any time at all on Twitter Wednesday night, Democrats were falling over themselves to disparage Attorney General Bill Barr as a puppet of the president and to call for the media to boycott his Thursday morning press conference, scheduled an hour-and-a-half before Congress would receive the redacted Mueller report. Why would journalists want to cover Barr’s slanted remarks without the text of the report in their hands to point out his lies.

Speaking of lies, MSNBC’s Brian Williams took his shot at Barr Thursday, calling him “Baghdad Bill Barr.”

It’s bad enough that a fabulist like Williams managed to find another job in TV news, but for him to disparage Barr over “fake news”?

one of the people in this tweet literally made up war stories about Iraq, and it wasn't Bill Barr https://t.co/78I6MN6XQp — Just Karl (@justkarl) April 18, 2019

This is a guy who was found to be a liar about taking enemy fire in a helicopter crash that never happened. But he ridicules the Attorney General as Baghdad Bill? This joker needs to be run out of media permanently. — Tom Odell ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (@TheRealTomOdell) April 18, 2019

I’m so glad he survived his near death experience in a helicopter? Oh but wait…that was a lie? — PapaBear (@av8orfl) April 18, 2019

Maybe they shared a helicopter? — Jason M. Kates (@JasonMKates) April 18, 2019

In his defense, he saw Barr once in Baghdad while he was hanging out of the door gunner perch on a Loach while biting off a snake’s head. — ❌LTC David M. Ward CRNA ??? (@LTCDavidMWard) April 18, 2019

Unbiased press. They are not even embarrassed by it! Meanwhile, AG Holder described himself as "Obama's Wingman". What was Brian Williams cute nickname for Holder? — Sharon Lee (@reagan80mom1) April 18, 2019

When you can’t dispute the facts, you do character attacks to distract from the truth. Brian, weren’t you proven to be a liar? — skidoohd (@Skidoo73000) April 18, 2019
