The comments appeared to be related to an article Barr shared that discusses her newly revived television show and its relation to Trump. She said in another tweet, “the writer is so gracious to me, but, I do like the President.”
Barr’s comments follow a proclamation issued by the White House on Friday declaring April “National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.”
In the announcement, the administration said “we remain steadfast in our efforts to stop crimes of sexual violence, provide care for victims, enforce the law, prosecute offenders, and raise awareness about the many forms of sexual assault.”
