After Donald Trump’s controversial remarks warning of a “bloodbath” should he lose the presidential election in November, similar comments made by Joe Biden during the 2020 primary have been resurfaced online.
Talking at a campaign rally in Ohio on Saturday, the former president and the Republican 2024 presidential candidate predicted that the country is headed towards a “bloodbath” in November if he loses the election against the Democratic incumbent. “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. That’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country,” he said, while commenting on the situation of the U.S. auto workers and car industry.
But social media users have resurfaced similar remarks from Biden made during the 2020 Democratic primary, where the now-president faced then-rival Bernie Sanders.
“Joe Biden THREATENED Bernie Sanders with a ‘BLOODBATH’ in the 2020 Primary. This is disqualifying and terrifying,” wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, a conservative user who said they were reinstated on the social media platform by Elon Musk after being previously banned.
The post has gone viral on social media, where it’s been viewed more than 656,800 times. “When Democrat politicians incite violence it’s OK as far as the media is concerned,” commented another user.
