Senator Bill Cassidy recently rejected to endorse former President Donald Trump during an appearance on Meet The Press Sunday via Trending News Politics.
Host Kristen Welker recently started by asking Cassidy about the latest media hoax emerging from the former president’s Ohio rally. It has been noted that the former President said that another term for Joe Biden would lead to a “bloodbath” for the auto industry, though partisan media outlets and left-wing politicians have taken the former president’s words out of context and have accused him of promoting violence.
“The general tone of the speech is why many Americans continue to wonder should President Trump be president. That kind of rhetoric, it’s always on the edge, maybe doesn’t cross, maybe does, depending upon your perspective,” Cassidy said, adding that the mainstream media is also responsible.
“I also think, though, that the mainstream media contributes to it. If you take the one about the bloodbath, which arguably could be about an economic bloodbath, not about kind of street violence related to the election, then it gives his defenders something to focus on as something which was distorted,” he continued.
“So, yes, he always walks up to the edge on that rhetoric. And again, that’s why people are concerned.”
