Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday said governors using executive powers to impose pandemic-related lockdowns amounted to the “greatest intrusion on civil liberties” in America’s history “other than slavery.”

Barr spoke at a “Constitution Day” event hosted by Hillsdale College, a conservative Michigan institution, during which he commented on mandated lockdowns amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak.
