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.

Trump: I wish to see the current president and his supporters dead and replaced by a dictator, me.

Biden: Are you guys listening to this?

Yes, these are the same.

yes agree these are different makes and models of vehicles

but the destinations of the vehicles are the same

until the citizens are able to come out with a vehicle of their own the destination now is corporate US led by elite puppet masters commanding their marionettes that wear red or blue shirts from on high and two different camps of citizens blindly throwing praise to their camp's leaders who are the marionettes of the corporations all the while in the fringes between the camps lives the disenfranchised citizens shunned by both camps hungry and tired and just wanting things other than empty promises and gestures to sustain them and a place to call home that they feel they could contribute to and thrive

The destinations are not the same. You can't make such broad statements and then completely ignore evidence that contradicts your statements. Biden is proposing a higher elite tax. That takes out your corporations. Disenfranchised citizens? He's forgiving student debt. plus helping with healthcare and not spewing nonsense about how he was cheated out of a win and is a con man with so many court cases against him that it could be a book on its own.

These could not be more opposite of each other. The only way it's the same is the citizens. We are all heading there together.
