We’ve seen many people on the left/the anti-Trump crew jumping in to help spread the “bloodbath” hoax, claiming that former President Donald Trump was pushing violence. Trump spoke about what a “bloodbath” Joe Biden’s policies would be for the auto industry if he was reelected. That’s it. That’s the “violence.” He was speaking out on behalf of the auto workers and American jobs.
Since the mainstream media falsely claims that Donald Trump warned of a “bloodbath” if he loses the 2024 election, I encourage you to listen to what he actually said and what he was referring to and draw your own conclusion: the automobile industry and the loss of jobs.

The Biden campaign figured prominently in pushing the falsehood. Their Communications Director Michael Tyler even doubled down on it, saying it was like when Trump said “very fine people” about Nazis in Charlottesville, not caring that that was a debunked hoax as well. We also saw Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pushing the smear, even adding in other hoaxes. They showed they had no shame and no conscience, all they care about is winning. This incident is a great example of that.
As we noted, we saw all kinds of media fail on this and they did earn a Community Note.

But that the truth didn’t stop some from making absolutely ridiculous takes on the matter.
Perhaps one of the worst was from MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.
He posted a video of the riot on Jan. 6 with the words, “Donald Trump’s America. And he’s proud of it. Promised another ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again.” That is demonstrably untrue.
But X owner Elon Musk, who has been personally doing all he can to debunk the hoax, called out Scarborough’s disgusting and deceitful take.

“Jan 6 was not a ‘bloodbath’ by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word. Your post is extremely misleading,” Musk responded.
I don’t know if Scarborough has any shame, but he was forced to delete it after Musk busted him.
But this shows how little regard the media has for the truth. It takes only a few seconds to understand what Trump was saying. So either they were too lazy, or they knew it was a lie and ran with it anyway. Either way, this is a big reason why you can’t trust liberal media. But it also shows if you immediately call out the hoax, they can be forced to retract and the truth will win out.
Good on Musk for standing up for truth.
