Are the Democrats following in the Republican trend of using misinformation by claiming Trump's words "blood-bath" clearly out of context?

Not really. It's a common tactic for tyrants to claim that their words were "taken out of context" when they were deliberately vague. Trump coming back and saying "oh, I was only talking about the auto industry" allows him to communicate to his base while placating the rest of us.
What Trump should have done is said "I am absolutely and unequivocally opposed to political violence for any reason, and I categorically reject any of my followers who engage in it." The fact that he didn't say that proves that he meant a real bloodbath.
Stop making excuses for the fascist pig.
