He's a successful attorney. He doesn't need to steal money.
Barnes is a world class grifter, and his success as a grifter puts Milo and Fuentes to shame.
Elaborate. In order to be "normie-facing" you gotta be cucked on some things seeing as some truths are still outside the overton window, but as far as "normie-facing" people go he's one of the best ones out there imo. And even if he's cucked on certain things, one would need to not be genuine about them in order to be a grifter.
I feel like people don't know the meaning of the word grifter and just use it as a stand in for "I dont like X person." "Anyone who isn't dealing the specific brand of shit I'm huffing is a grifter."
Last time I asked for clarification as to why Barnes is a grifter I just got word salad of he said she said BS, much of which the poster had to back off from once challenged.
Barnes’s fame predates the internet, and as such, is an old school TV lawyer. Their entire business model (or “hustle” or “grift” or whatever you want to call it) is to attach themselves to high profile people and events. He did this most famously with Wesley Snipes. But he continues to do this today. He tried to attach himself to Rittenhouse despite him already having a legal team. He’ll take on other e-celebs like Jack Murphy and then run defense for them in interview appearances.
So in that sense, his business model is exactly like Milo and Nick. All three attach themselves to high profile people in order to make money and boost their own profile.
Seems kind of weak. Its a bit of a stretch to call someone a grifter just because they're a lawyer with high profile clients. Especially when that is only a small fraction of the work they do. Even in those cases, generally they're hired for a reason, because they're providing an actual service with value, so it seems weird to write someone off as a grifter for such a reason.
Barnes is absolutely a grifter.
I don't see it.
Robert Barnes is the man that said a few months ago that he had insider information that Trump and DeSantis have already made an arrangement to run together in 2024 as President and VP respectively. Barnes then made the claim that DeSantis serves as insurance so the Democrats don't indict Trump. He said that if Trump is indicted then DeSantis can easily win 2024 and can then pardon Trump.
Fast forward to what Robert Barnes is saying in November of 2022. after DeSantis won Florida by 20 points, Barnes starts saying that DeSantis can never win a presidential election and that he should never challenge Trump.
Barnes is a grifter who pretends to have insider information.
Just like Jack Posobiec, Raheem Kassam, Alex Bruesewitz, Larry Schwiekart, Richard Baris and whoever is running the TheLastRefuge account from Conservative Treehouse, Barnes's grift also relies on Trump. All of these grifters have been attacking Governor DeSantis non-stop everyday because they fear that he has the potential to beat Trump in a 2024 primary.
All of these people I listed are grifters who fleece Trump supporters with their tales of how everyone is a RINO but Trump.
Sad to see how many Trump supporters don't see this obvious grift.
I don't agree with your assessment because I've watched him pretty regularly, and the description I got was that DeSantis just isn't going to run. I do remember the insurance thing, but I don't see how that's out of line. If Trump were to be fucking jailed, yeah: DeSantis could run, promise to pardon Trump, and win in a fucking landslide. I don't see how this is a grift.
Dude, what are you talking about? I literally just listened to Richard Baris explain that in his assessment of some of Trump's polls, Trump's criticism of DeSantis backfired, but as distance from the criticism has increased, he's bouncing back some of the approval he lost for the nomination. Not a word of criticism was wielded against DeSantis. I also can't say that I've heard any meaningful criticism against DeSantis from Barnes beyond the fact that there are people trying to fund DeSantis that want to see Trump fail, not an actual criticism of Barnes.
