Nancy Pelosi slammed for warning about Trump’s ‘bloodbath’ remark as she says Democrats ‘have to win'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Former speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) issued a stark warning on Sunday, March 17, highlighting the critical nature of the upcoming November election in response to former president Donald Trump's controversial remarks regarding the auto industry and the nation's fate should he fail to secure a second term in the White House.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Ohio on Saturday, March 16, Trump called for a 100 percent tariff on cars manufactured outside the United States, asserting that only his presidency could safeguard the industry. “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country,” he said.

Trump's declaration of a potential "bloodbath" for the country if he isn't reelected immediately drew criticism, with many interpreting his words as an allusion to political violence.

Nancy Pelosi voices concern over Trump's rhetoric

Nancy Pelosi, a prominent adversary of the former president, seized upon Donald Trump's comments to underscore the urgency of a Democratic victory in November. In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union," Pelosi voiced concern over Trump's rhetoric.

“We just have to win this election because he’s even predicting a bloodbath,” Pelosi remarked.

“What does that mean? He’s going to exact a bloodbath? There’s something wrong here. How respectful I am of the American people and their goodness. But how much more do they have to see from him to understand that this isn’t what our country is about?” she asked.

“Praising Hitler, praising the Russians, honestly, I mean, condemning our soldiers for losing or dying in war or being captured in war,” Pelosi added.

The former speaker urged voters to consider these issues while casting their ballots in November.

“There’s something wrong here. So I just say, with all the respect in the world for voters and their right to make their decision, weigh these equities. How much are you concerned about … women having the right to choose or LGBT people having the right to their lives, that you would vote for him?” Pelosi added.

In response, the Biden campaign swiftly condemned Trump's language, framing it as a veiled threat of political violence.

Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer stated, “This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles down on his threats of political violence. He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge.”

However, Trump and his allies pushed back against the media's portrayal of his statements, alleging misrepresentation and context manipulation.

Former vice president Mike Pence, in an unexpected turn, defended Trump's remarks. “The president was clearly talking about the impact of imports devastating the American automotive industry,” Pence said in a CBS News' 'Face the Nation' interview.

“Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign are engaging in deceptively, out-of-context editing that puts Roman Polanski to shame,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.

“They are the ones engaging in leveraging judicial lawfare to go after their main political opponent— President Trump — because he is crushing Joe in the polls. There isn’t any amount of special medicine they can inject him with to make him look alive, behave normally, or stop him from falling on his ass all the time,” he added.
