CNN got slammed on their own network for helping enable the Anti-Donald Trump “bloodbath” hoax.
Back in March, Trump predicted a bloodbath for the U.S. auto industry at an Ohio rally if he were to lose the looming November election - which the liberal media and Democrats instantly took out of context to claim that Trump was threatening violence.
Among the latest to push that lie was Kamala Harris, who at her debate with Trump pushed the “bloodbath” hoax - and threw in the long-debunked “very fine people” hoax too while she was at it. "Donald Trump, the candidate, has said, in this election, there will be a bloodbath if the outcome of this election is not to his liking,” Harris said.
CNN actually reported on Trump’s claims correctly in context back in March, specifically noting that it was a “bloodbath for the auto industry” Trump was speaking of in their headline. But despite this, they still allowed guests - and Harris during the debate - to claim otherwise without any pushback or fact-checking in months to come - proving they were knowingly enabling lies.
Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings blasted the network for allowing Harris to spread lies unchecked by them that are “designed to radicalize.”
"I have to say, when I see what Democratic politicians say about Trump, when I see what Democratic commentators say about Trump, and their platform is built on a bunch of lies, frankly, that are designed to radicalize a political base, it makes me wonder how much do they really care about the violence that you and I both agree is terrible?" Jennings asked. "The underpinning of her campaign, I mean, she repeats it herself, ‘Trump will be a dictator on day one.’ I mean, this country fights dictators. That‘s what our history — we fight dictators," he added, as the panel tried to interrupt.
"It is said by every Democrat working for or around[Harris’ campaign every day on this network and every other one. The bloodbath thing is stated every single day” he added.
"Use of the word ‘bloodbath’ when he was talking about vehicle manufacturing jobs in the United States, Vice President Harris improperly and unfairly mischaracterized that as him saying there would be a bloodbath if he were elected," Phillip confirmed, but clarified, "However, she did not say that if Trump were elected, there would be a bloodbath."
Host Abby Phillip then admitted the campaign had used it out of context; "Use of the word ‘bloodbath’ was when he was talking about vehicle manufacturing jobs in the United States, Vice President Harris improperly and unfairly mischaracterized that as him saying there would be a bloodbath if he were [not] elected.”
