WATCH: William Barr Lashes Out At Black Lives Matter Protesters: ‘They’re Essentially Bolsheviks’

Barr also accused the Black Lives Matter movement demonstrators of working together with ANTIFA to overthrow President Donald Trump. He called ANTIFA a “new form of guerrilla warfare,” and said that the “highly organized” group encourage protesters for “violent missions.”

“What they do is, they are essentially shielding themselves or shrouding themselves in First Amendment activity,” Barr said. “They hijack these demonstrations and they provoke violence. And they have various tiers of people from the sort of top provocateurs down to people who are their minions and run the violent missions.”

“The left wants power because that is essentially their state of grace in their secular religion,” he said. “They want to run people’s lives so they can design utopia for all of us and that’s what turns them on. And it’s the lust for power and they weren’t expecting Trump’s victory and it outrages them.”
