Description

President Joe Biden's campaign on Saturday excoriated former President Donald Trump for sharing a video on social media depicting what appears to be an image of Biden tied up and kidnapped in the back of a pickup truck.


 


"This image from Donald Trump is the type of crap you post when you're calling for a bloodbath or when you tell the Proud Boys to 'stand back and stand by,'" Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement to ABC News.


 


Earlier this month, while discussing the American auto industry, Trump said there would be a "bloodbath" if he did not win the presidential election in November, a comment that garnered swift backlash from Biden himself.


 


Trump and his campaign said that he meant a "bloodbath" for the U.S. auto industry, and Trump quickly fundraised off claims his political opponents are spreading misinformation about his remarks.


 


"Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it's time people take him seriously — just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6," Tyler added in his statement.
