Bob Barr, Part 2: From Prosecutor to Libertarian
Manage episode 488613677 series 2616484
Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! In this episode, we explore the political journey of Bob Barr following his high-profile role as a House manager during President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial.
Once a staunch conservative Republican, Barr’s career took a series of surprising turns — from continuing his tenure in Congress to eventually becoming the Libertarian Party’s 2008 presidential nominee.
We trace his path through post-impeachment politics, his advocacy for civil liberties, and the ideological shift that redefined his public persona. Tune in for a look at one of the more complex and controversial figures of late 20th-century American politics.
