When The Bloodbath Starts, Don’t Say You Weren’t Warned

At Donald Trump’s latest KKK meeting, I mean rally, I mean campaign appearance to stomp for Republican U.S. Senate candidate, Bernie Moreno, Trump riled the crowd up with his deteriorating mental state and egregious racism. In Ohio, he walked out to the J6 Prison Choir’s “Justice for All” which is the male choir’s, of about 20 male felons locked up for their involvement in the Insurrection, version of the national anthem with Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance interspersed into the song. Yes, you read that correctly. A group of men in prison for trying to overthrow an election formed a choir and recorded a version of The Star-Spangled Banner — that honorable song that no one is supposed to tread upon. Donald Trump calls them hostages who have been treated “terribly and very unfairly.”

Trump was supposed to be championing Moreno, but of course, he talked about himself and his greatness. And naturally he spewed lots of racism and dog whistles. For example, he called immigrants snakes, animals, and non-humans. He said DA Fani Willis’ name was “spelled fanny like your ass.” In the midst of talking about placing a 100% tariff on Chinese cars manufactured in Mexico, Trump said that if he doesn’t get re-elected there will be a bloodbath for the country.
