This news resurfaced amidst Democrats currently blasting Trump for using the term "bloodbath" in a recent rally.
During the 2020 Democratic primary, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden warned against a “bloodbath” in the Democrat primary between himseld and Bernie Sanders as the two attacked each other in a bid for the presidential nomination.
“What we can’t let happen is let this primary become a negative bloodbath,” Biden said to a group of donors during his campaign.
Biden's remarks resurfaced recently in light of criticism directed at former President Trump for his use of the term "bloodbath" during a rally in Ohio where he criticized Biden's handling of the auto industry.
Trump's comments, which centered on the potential consequences for the auto industry if Biden were to be reelected, were seized upon by various news outlets, leading to headlines and interpretations suggesting that Trump was advocating for violence should he not win the November election.
However, these interpretations overlooked the context provided by Trump's remarks, which focused on his concerns about the impact of Biden's policies on the automotive sector. Defenders of the former President also pointed out that one of the definitions of “bloodbath” is “a major economic disaster,” according to Merriam-Webster.
"Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole – that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country,” Trump cautioned, referring to the possible repercussions on the automotive industry and economy as a whole under a second Biden term.
Despite the contextual clarification, Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi pounced on the opportunity to promote the narrative that Trump was insinuating violence, misrepresenting his intentions during her appearance on CNN's Sunday morning program.
"We just have to win this election because he's even predicting a bloodbath. What does that mean? He's going to exact a bloodbath? There's something wrong here," Pelosi said.
This recent bloodbath hoax pushed by the left even prompted X owner Elon Musk to mock those perpetuating the misinformation as "NPCs."
"Easy to tell who is an NPC today," Musk posted on X, with a picture depicting a group of clones all saying "bloodbath."
