Earlier this week, the left-wing media had a literal MELTDOWN over President Trump using the word “bloodbath.”
Now, they framed it like Trump was promising violent retaliation if he does not win the presidential election this year, when in reality, he was referring to the future of U.S. auto jobs.
Take this clip, for example:
Merrick Garland, are you listening?
At a rally today in Ohio, Trump threatened violence if he is not declared the winner of the 2024 election: "If I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath … It's going to be a bloodbath for the country."pic.twitter.com/7PqFZ03H2L

Or, this new ad released by the Biden campaign:

Or, Nancy Pelosi attacking Trump over the “bloodbath” hoax:
JUST IN: Nancy Pelosi races to CNN to lie about Donald Trump and promote the “bloodbath” hoax.
The face of evil.
“He’s even predicting a bloodbath. What does that mean? He's going to exact a bloodbath. There's something wrong here.”

A ton of news outlets ran with the false narrative.
We reported in-depth on that here:
MSM Runs With Trump “Bloodbath” Hoax If He’s Not Elected…Here’s What They Aren’t Telling You
And in case you want a refresher, here’s the full context of Trump’s now-apparently-infamous “bloodbath” speech:
Here’s the actual context of the “bloodbath” comment by Donald Trump that the Radical Left is pretending to be upset about.
They’re purposefully taking it out the context so you think he’s talking about post-election violence. pic.twitter.com/goCx7NK6GV

To make a long story short, leftists had a COW about President Trump’s out-of-context use of the term “bloodbath” over the weekend during a rally speech in Ohio.
And since then, they’ve only doubled down.
From Fox News:
After prominent media networks took heat for running headlines that skimped on important context of former President Trump’s “bloodbath” comment, MSNBC, ABC News and others have seemingly doubled down on their criticism of the 2024 candidate.
Politico’s headline stated, “Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November.” An NBC News headline stated, “Trump says there will be a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses the election.” The headline for CBS News stated, “In Ohio campaign rally, Trump says there will be a “bloodbath” if he loses November election.”
ADVERTISEMENTMost headlines did not mention Trump was referring to his opinion of the state of the automotive industry should President Biden win another term.
And yet, in light of their sudden squeamishness over the term, social media users pointed out just how frequently the MSM likes to use the same word…
A two-minute super-cut of flashback clips featuring the left-wing media’s embrace of the term “bloodbath” has now gone viral online.
It’s really a must-see:
SUPERCUT!

Here’s another re-post, for backup:
FLASHBACK – “Bloodbath” – Rule for thee, not for the left! WATCH pic.twitter.com/fr33Iplhwh

So, we have ask: If the Left is so offended over Trump’s use of the term, how come they love saying “bloodbath” so much themselves?
Another case of “rules for thee, but not for me?”

What an embarrassment for journalism everywhere.

Lot of “bloodbaths” 😂

Remember when Obama used the term “bloodbath?”
Let's not forget that Barack Obama also used the term "bloodbath," and he used it in a way close to the way Trump did—suggesting that very bad things would happen if the other side wins. pic.twitter.com/ZyMp17Idmc

Or Biden?
Where was the outrage?

Yeah, apparently neither does the left…
They must be suffering from the effects of TDS mixed with so-called “long COVID…”
