Triggered Joe Scarborough Doubles Down On Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Hoax After Deleting X Post
MSNBC propagandist Joe Scarborough is doubling down after being caught promoting the false claim that Donald Trump told his followers there would be “another bloodbath if he loses” the upcoming presidential election.
“Donald Trump’s America. And he is proud of it. Promised another ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again,” the Morning Joe host wrote on X along with an out-of-context video from a recent Trump speech.
X owner Elon Musk chimed in to inform Scarborough, “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.”
NEW: MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has deleted his ‘Bloodbath’ tweet after getting called out by Elon Musk.
The propagandist claimed Trump said he would conduct “another bloodbath” if he lost the election, however Trump was talking about the auto industry.

Then, after deleting his misleading social media post, Scarborough doubled down on the lie and railed against “idiots on Twitter” and “idiots on cable news” who called out his misleading narrative.
“It’s just bullshit,” the Morning Joe host said. “He knew what he was doing, we’re not stupid. Americans aren’t stupid. He was talking about a bloodbath. Sometimes a bloodbath means a bloodbath and when he finished by saying, ‘that’s not gonna be the least of it…’ seriously? These people may be stupid, we’re not.”
Joe Scarborough is having an UNHINGED Meltdown because he got called out for amplifying the fake “Bloodbath” Hoax ?

Despite full context exposing the media and Democrat politician lies about Trump’s remark, people like Joe Scarborough and Joe Biden are promoting the disproven claim.
It’s clear this guy wants another January 6.
But the American people are going to give him another resounding electoral defeat this November. https://t.co/saukB6Wjry

Alex Jones and guest, attorney Viva Frei, discussed the media spin of Donald Trump’s use of the term ‘bloodbath’ during the Sunday broadcast of The Alex Jones Show.
“So, that is a corporate term, I’ve heard it all my life watching CNBC, reading the Wall Street Journal,” Jones said. “When a company loses big it’s called a bloodbath.”
Jones explains how Trump was clearly talking about the U.S. auto industry.
“When you say that someone is going to violently kill people in the streets if they don’t get elected, you created an existential threat,” Frei said.
