This is what Barr said in a speech yesterday:
quote:

"Putting a national lockdown, stay at home orders is like house arrest. Other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, it's the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history," Barr said during a speech at Hillsdale College in Michigan on Wednesday.

This is the CBS headline:
quote:

Barr compares coronavirus stay-at-home orders to slavery


That's like sometihng out of a Babylon Bee article.

He did compare a stay at home order as being close to as restrictive as slavery! JHC

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit is it. CBS is depending on you.

Well, CBS used a photo of Trump’s Latino rally and said it was Biden’s, so.....

He did compare the shutdown orders to slavery but he did not say they were on the same level. He clearly said slavery by comparison was on a different level all together.

I thought the phrase, “ other than” was self explanatory?!

He's comparing an order to stay at home for your...and your community's safety to being enslaved...they are not comparable.

Compare includes contrast but of course fake news and low-info morons aren't that bright and nuanced.

At some point constant defamation for malicious purposes falls outside the bounds of First Amendment protection and privilege.

JHC ain't gonna help you here. He could read.

"Other than" can also be read as "excluding". If "Excluding" was the word used, would you still claim he was comparing the two?

He did not compare it to slavery. He was saying it was the biggest intrusion to our civil liberties SECOND to slavery.
