So theres an active shooter and trump tells his secret service detail to hold up so he can yell fight! Fight!?? So they stand there for several moments and audience stands there vs getting down. Lucky more weren't shot.

When the curtain goes up, Trump is ready to put on a performance and this probably was an even more impressive one than what he did on The Apprentice for several seasons. And there is no question what Trump meant when, with acquiescence of the Secret Service, he raised his arm, shook his fist, and yelled "fight! Fight!"
Megyn Kelly, who once adamantly maintained that Jesus Christ and Santa Claus were white, wants you to believe otherwise.
An utter dishonest fail on every level.

She actually brings up the “bloodbath” BS! https://t.co/G1X9Sw419O
Raddatz stated
We were just looking back at some of the things that former President Trump has said. He warned last March that of potential death and destruction if he were charged by the Manhattan District Attorney. "Our country is being destroyed as they tell us to be peaceful. " Trump in January warned of bedlam in the country if the criminal charges against him succeeded. And of course in March, he said now if I don't get executed, there'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. That will be the least of it. He said he was partly joking and that was taken out of context. But those are indeed his words and have heard it from supporters as well and supporters are in some parts angry and let's remember January 6.
In blasting Raddatz for bringing up the bloodbath, Kelly is misinterpreting Trump's more famous reference to "bloodbath," which, remarkably, was the common interpretation of his remarks, these New York Times reporters notwithstanding. (The candidate shortly afterward used the same term in railing about immigration but at that time appeared to be referring strictly to that issue.) On March 18, 2024 Maggie Astor of The New York Times wrote
He made the remarks in Ohio on Saturday, in a speech delivered on behalf of Bernie Moreno, whom he has endorsed in Tuesday's Republican Senate primary. After vowing to impose tariffs on cars manufactured outside the United States, he then said: "Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath for the whole- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a blood bath for the country."
Mr. Trump did not say that it would be a bloodbath for the auto industry, for autoworkers, or for Detroit. He said it would be a bloodbath for the country. A couple of weeks later, the ex-President would use "bloodbath" again, this time referring specifically to immigration. However, in his remarks in Ohio, he was referring to the country, not to the auto industry.
It was harmless, albeit absurd, that Megyn Kelly would characterize Santa Claus, a fictional character supposedly based, loosely, on a monk in Turkey. However, it is dangerous that she would claim it is "verifiable fact" that "Jesus was a white man." For Megyn Kelly, the dishonesty continues, helping to obscure the extreme peril that Donald Trump poses to the nation.
