Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre displayed extreme cognitive dissonance Tuesday when asked by reporter Peter Doocy why it was ok for Joe Biden to use the term ‘bloodbath’ in 2020, but when Donald Trump uses it in a similar context it constitutes “violent rhetoric”.
As everyone knows, Trump was referring to potential job losses in the auto industry when he used the term. When Biden used the term, he was referring to the 2020 primary campaign becoming an internal “bloodbath” between Democrats.
It’s the same metaphorical use of the term, meaning a disastrous outcome that is good for no one.
So seeing Karine Jean-Pierre say the following is incredible.
“So when Donald Trump is talking about a bloodbath, it is violent rhetoric,” Doocy stated, adding “What was it when Joe Biden said in 2020, ‘what we can’t let happen is this primary become a negative bloodbath?’”
“You should read what he said in its context. So you gotta read what he said in context —” Jean-Pierre began.
Everyone has read it in context, and she and the Democrats know damn well what the context was when Trump said it, yet they continue to push this pathetic semantic charade because they have nothing else going for them.
“I understand. Bloodbath is an ugly word when Trump used it. What is it when Biden uses it?” Doocy interjected.
“No, no, no. Let’s be very clear. You gotta actually ask me the question in context of what it was said, right? And what it was said when he said that, right, in his remarks, in his speech. So that’s being disingenuous in your question,” the press secretary responded.
OK, so Doocy is the one being disingenuous for pointing out the context is the same.
Laughable.
“I’m reading a direct quote from Joe Biden. ‘What we can’t let happen is let this primary become a negative bloodbath,’” Doocy shot back.
“He was talking about a group of people,” Jean-Pierre pathetically continued, adding “A group of people. That’s what he’s talking about. What the president was talking about during the primary was not to allow it to be — the words and the primary and that election — to become negative. Two different things. They’re not the same. They’re not the same. And your question is disingenuous.”
Was Trump not talking about a group of people in the auto industry losing their jobs?
After twice calling Doocy disingenuous, Jean Pierre then suggested Trump was talking about stoking a violent uprising, stating “And so — look, I’m gonna be really mindful here. I’m gonna be really careful. We have to denounce violent rhetoric, which, wherever it comes from — a former leader — we have to denounce that. Because we saw what happened on January 6. We saw what happened there.”
Wow. The gas lighting knows no bounds.
The Press Secretary also again repeated that the term ‘bloodbath’, especially if used in the context of immigration is “violent rhetoric” that “puts our fellow Americans in harm’s way.”
Who is putting Americans in harms way now? It’s those letting in hordes of violent criminals and murderers isn’t it? Rather than those using words you don’t like to denounce the murderers.
