MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough deleted his social media post X about Donald Trump’s warning of a “bloodbath” for the country if Joe Biden won the election.
Trump made headlines with the warning after criticizing the offshoring of jobs in the auto industry under Biden.

The former president also accused Mexico and China of siphoning off American manufacturing jobs and flooding the U.S. market with cheaply produced cars.
However, Scarborough wasn’t happy with Trump’s remarks, taking to social media to post footage from the Jan 6 Capitol riot, claiming the former president was endorsing chaos.
“Donald Trump’s America. And he’s proud of it,” Scarborough wrote in the now-deleted post.
“Promised another ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again.”
But the post lasted only a short time after Elon Musk responded by challenging the accuracy of Scarborough’s rethoric.
“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,” Musk replied.
Musk’s intervention highlighted the “legacy media lies,” showing how news outlets had taken Trump’s comments out of context.
Musk went on to blast the media’s portrayal of the situation, emphasizing the importance of accurate reporting.
He also took issue with Scarborough’s framing of Trump’s words, arguing they were misconstrued to fit the leftist narrative.
Scarborough responded by deleting his original post.
The deletion of the post sparked a broader debate on the role of the media in shaping public perception.
Additionally, it highlighted the importance of critical thinking in an era where the media has become nothing more than a propaganda machine.
As easy as “deleting” an intern joe?
One of them even tried it on The Boss - after The Boss Jillslapped him over the nonsense.
I ignore those people.
If they want to criticize me, fine, let them.
But I will not argue with a fool.
It would just create two fools..................
It amazes me that Scarborough was ever a Republican. Truth is, he did what so many politicians do these days. He ran in whatever party ID was dominant in the district he lived in at the time. Then when he left Congress and went to work for highly leftist NBC, he turned coat to what he is today. He is without doubt an extreme scum sucking bottom feeder.
“Jillslapped him”
Jillslapped. LOL!
I voted for him, he was my Congress critter before Jeff Miller the one before Matt Gaetz.
This is a very conservative district.
He knew that. That’s why he ran as a Republican. He’s a weather vane politician...............
Our district...............
The leftards only have a limited number of tricks but they never get tired of using them. Do you remember when Sarah Palin was working for the Tea Party movement and a Democrat congresswoman in one district that Palin had pin-pointed as winnable got shot? Despite the fact that the perp was a leftwing anarchist with mental problems and had no connection or even knowledge about the Tea Party movement the media and other socialists attacked Palin and blamed her for the shooting. In a video recorded speech she tried to defend herself and said among other things this:
“But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.”
The use of "blood libel" led to the same idiocy as with Trump's use of "bloodbath". How could she - a non-Jewess - use these words; words who suddenly had reverted to their historical origins. And this despite the fact that prominent journalists and commentators in the weeks and days prior to the event had used the same expression in its modern guise.
It took Alan Dershowitz to if not put an end to the discussion, at least put shame to those liberals who still were able to feel ashamed:
“The term ‘blood libel’ has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People, its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.”
So, as President. Ronald Reagan said: "There [they] go again."
I was going through my news feeds yesterday and blocking every single “news” site that posted that BS story! I saw quickly just a few hours later how they all started backtracking. But too late, no more clicks for fake news media!
Taking quotes out of context is their go-to default position...........
He is an opportunist with zero core principles and is a low down dirty liar. If he was offered enough money, he would suddenly become a "conservative Republican" again. He is a modern-day equivalent of Judas Iscariot.
If anything, it shows them all to be united at the hip to the Democrat party hacks.
They didn’t do their ‘due diligence’ and check the story for accuracy, they just printed it verbatim as fact and truth and it bit them in the ass..................................
Sure is, but people are much quicker to react now than they were in 2011.
This is what state-run media looks like, they lie and fabricate everything. What I find hard to believe is they can still find anyone stupid enough to watch these shows.
you are assuming it was an honest mistake. I KNOW they are not that dumb! They posted those stories 100% knowing the truth, but hoped to score some points on Trump and maybe fool some low IQ morons who will never see the retractions they write later.
Leftist scumbag that one.
God bless Elon.
The only Jan. 6 action that would qualify as a “bloodbath” is the cold blooded murder of Ashli Babbitt by Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd.
Always good to know what Morning Joe and Dingbat are saying. Such bastions of morality.
