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.
