Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump campaigned in Ohio over the weekend and warned there would be a “bloodbath” in the United States if he lost the election to Joe Biden.
Donald Trump: “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it.”
During the same speech, Trump escalated his dehumanizing attacks on migrants.
Donald Trump: “If you call them people — I don’t know if you call them people. In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that, because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say. They say, 'You have to vote against him, because did you hear what he said about humanity?' I’ve seen the humanity, and these humanity — these are bad — these are animals, OK?”
Trump also called for the jailing of lawmakers who took part in the House select committee that investigated the January 6 insurrection.
In related news, Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence has said he “cannot in good conscience” endorse Trump’s reelection bid.
