Controversial Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden
When plans for a rally by Donald Trump's campaign at Madison Square Garden were announced, Democrats and media outlets were quick to express concern. They suggested that the choice of venue was a nod to a pro-Nazi rally that took place there in 1939. This narrative was not only propagated by the media but also by prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, who accused Trump of "actually re-enacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939."
Hillary Clinton's Accusations
Clinton referred to President Franklin Roosevelt's dismay at the fact that American neo-Nazis and fascists were showing their support for the kind of government they saw in Germany. She urged people to be aware of the danger she believes Trump poses to the country, emphasizing that she sees it as a clear and present threat.
Support from the Harris-Walz Campaign
The Harris-Walz campaign also echoed these sentiments. Kamala Harris's running mate, Tim Walz, drew a direct parallel between Trump's rally and a large rally that took place at Madison Square Garden in the mid-1930s during a campaign event in Henderson, Nevada. He suggested that Trump was fully aware of the implications of his choice of venue.
Trump's Rally
Despite these accusations, the rally took place as planned. The event featured a diverse range of speakers, and a black woman performed the national anthem. Moreover, many Jewish attendees were present, seemingly unaware that the event was being labeled a "Nazi rally."
Democratic Protesters
Interestingly, the only Nazi symbols present were displayed by Democrats protesting outside the venue.
