How the Left LIES: Conservatives Call Out Media's 'Bloodbath' Hoax

Donald Trump said the following at a rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday:

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.

Sounds menacing doesn't? Scary stuff!

And that's how the Left reported it.

CBS News:

This "bloodbath" narrative was a hoax, but the entire leftwing establishment, news outlets, Democratic politicians, ran with it as fast as they could.

But here's what Trump really said in full context, in both video and text:

'China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they're going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border,' Trump said Saturday.

He continued, 'Let me tell something to China, if you're listening President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now and you think you're going to get that, you're going to not hire Americans and you're going to sell the cars to us? No. We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not going be able to sell those cars. If I get elected.'

Trump then said, '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. That will be the least of it.'

He's clearly talking about the auto industry and what might happen to American workers if Biden remains president.

But to reinforce that is what Trump was talking about, here's what he said right after his "bloodbath" comments:

'But they're not going to sell those cars,' Trump said. 'They're building massive factories. A friend of mine, all he does is build car manufacturing plants. He's the biggest in the world...'

And Trump says more about the car industry, but you get the picture.

The media wasn't just showing bias - they were blatantly lying to their audience to make Trump look bad.

And conservatives and others shot back hard and loud:

There are too many of these to include them all here.

ALSO...

Some pointed out that "bloodbath" is a longstanding economic term referring to financial disaster.

Something a businessman like Trump would know when talking about the future of the American auto industry:

So, on Sunday, St. Patrick's Day, the media lied about Donald Trump. They knew they were lying. They were still happy to spread the lie even when so many were calling them out on their lying.

So what else is new?
