Andy Barr Hates Democracy

This video was made by constituents in the House 6th district of Kentucky that think Andy Barr has deliberately attacked ideals of democracy, human decency, common sense, and America.

Andy Barr has pushed his propaganda long enough.  It is time that anyone else represents our district...

Healthcare
Barr supports the repeal of the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare").

Abortion
Barr is pro-life. Barr believes that abortion should be illegal, including in cases of rape and incest, unless the mother's life is threatened. Barr opposes using federal funding to support organizations that offer abortions. In a 2012 interview, Barr said that "I think the vast majority of people of this country have come to the conclusion that wherever you are on this issue, we shouldn't have taxpayer funding for abortion."

Interest group ratings
Barr has a "D" rating from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), a marijuana legalization advocacy organization, for his voting history regarding cannabis-related causes.

Barr has a zero score from LGBT rights advocacy organization the Human Rights Campaign for his LGBT rights-related voting record.

Donald Trump
Regarding President Donald Trump's comments in the wake of the Unite the Right rally, Barr said Trump's statement was filled with "too much ambiguity."

Amid the Trump-Ukraine scandal, where an impeachment inquiry was launched into President Trump after he requested that the Ukrainian President investigate 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, Barr defended Trump's actions, characterizing his request of the Ukrainian President as "routine diplomacy".

On December 18, 2019, Barr voted against both articles of impeachment against Trump.

Environment and energy
On the subject of climate change, Barr said in 2019, "Some say the science is settled, that's not true. There are scientists who dispute the level of warming, the extent to which humans are contributing to that."  In 2013, Barr said, "Coal does contribute to climate change."  Barr opposes a carbon tax.

In 2019, Barr invited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to his district to hear how the Green New Deal, which Ocasio-Cortez was a leading proponent of, would affect coal miners.[. Ocasio-Cortez accepted the invitation.  Shortly thereafter, Barr withdrew his invitation, citing her "lack of civility" towards Dan Crenshaw.  Ocasio-Cortez responded, saying that Barr was waffling.
