The fauxtrage orchestrated by the media and Democrats over Donald Trump’s recent remarks referencing a “bloodbath” in the auto industry exploded again on Monday after Trump used it in a press conference in Michigan as well as in a campaign ad about Biden’s Border Crisis. Trump calls it “Biden’s border bloodbath.”
“It is a border bloodbath that is destroying our nation, this is a terrible thing,” Trump stated that the illegals who are pouring across the border will stop the day he takes office. He also described the type of people he called “military-age men” from places like the Congo and Yemen.
During Monday’s White House Press Briefing, Karine Jean Pierre answered questions from members of the media about Trump and his “bloodbath presser” as well as the ad.
“Does the White House believe that there is a bloodbath taking place or a wave of migrant crime?”

Karine Jean-Pierre says calling the border invasion a “bloodbath” is “violent rhetoric” that “puts our fellow Americans in harm’s way” 🥴 pic.twitter.com/b4Arl8V6R9

When Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked his question, he was specifically referring to remarks Biden made in 2020 when he said that the bruising Democrat primary shouldn’t turn into a negative bloodbath.
Doocy explained that when Donald Trump talks about a “bloodbath,” it’s a violent speech. What was Joe Biden saying in 2020 when he said, “We can’t allow this primary to become a bloodbath”?
Jean-Pierre then appeared to reboot a computer in real-time. He later suggested that context was required, even though the Biden White House never gave Donald Trump any consideration for context.
Doocy was forced to repeat his question multiple times. Jean-Pierre flustered, never answered directly, calling it twice “disingenuous”.
Watch:
Q: Why was it acceptable for Biden to use the term “bloodbath” in 2020, but not when President Trump uses it?

This graphic was pretty accurate in describing the actual situation with Jean-Pierre when Doocy posed the question.

This entire ridiculous debate reminds me in a certain way of the media’s craziness after the attempted murder of Gabrielle Giffords, then-Rep. (D-AZ), in 2011. Then-President Barack Obama gave the marching orders to so-called reporters who declared that words such as “crosshairs,” and the like would no longer be used in their reporting.
Here is an example of CNN anchor John King, who apologized for a guest’s use of the word:
Before we break for the day, I would like to make one quick point. Just a few moments ago, we were discussing the Chicago mayoral election. Andy Shaw, a friend of mine who works now for a group that promotes good governance, said the phrase “in the crosshairs” when he was talking about candidates. We are trying- we are trying to move away from this language.
The media has an inflated sense of their importance. They don’t understand that they should report things accurately, in context, and with accuracy.
KJP has a point – context matters. In the context of the way the Democrats and media refer to Donald Trump’s statements, they could care less about context. This is why trust in the media has never been lower.
