Much of the weekend news cycle was consumed by the media and Democrats (as always, pardon the redundancy) trying to get as much mileage out of "Trump promises a 'bloodbath' if he loses the election" headlines that, not surprisingly, ignored the context. The media had their marching orders and they obediently ran with them.
The media was told how to frame the story, and that's exactly what they did:
Trump: If I don't get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country pic.twitter.com/BWpWORo9Hs

Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November https://t.co/qVsIWIMmvc

However, Trump used the term in the context of a Biden win meaning worse things for the auto industry and economy as a whole.
Isn't it amazing how the Dem-media circle of life works?
Now there's a video of remarks Nancy Pelosi made in 2017 making the rounds. At the time the Associated Press did a "fact-check" (and you know how dishonest those can be) and determined Pelosi to be referring to Republican tactics when speaking about how the smear machine works. If Pelosi was talking about the Republicans working hand-in-hand with the media to smear Democrats, it was 100 percent pure projection. The "Trump/Bloodbath" stories are just the latest example of how this process works for the Dems:

As far as the “Bloodbath” narrative…

I’ll just let Nancy Pelosi explain how they came up with that one. 👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/1OTxca1qya
As usual, if you want to know what the Democrats are doing, just watch what they've accused the other side of engaging in!
This is a masterclass by Pelosi. Give it a watch. https://t.co/XungZ2VZjX

And Pelosi claiming that's a Republican tactic is absolutely laughable.
THIS is how panicked and desperate they are.

And it'll only get worse as the weeks go by.
Yep!! Every word from now until November will be taken out of context, to the extreme!

Pelosi was again this weekend proving her 2017 claim about Republicans to be nothing but projection when she went on CNN to spread a trifecta of lies virtually unchallenged:

Shameless.
The Babylon Bee has summed up how we can expect the Dems and media to spin over the next few months:

So real it might not be a parody.
