This week, Townhall covered how Democrats have been non-stop comparing former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden over the weekend to a pro-Nazi rally.
On Sunday, MSNBC even ran a segment comparing Trump’s rally to the pro-Nazi event at the arena in 1939.
“That jamboree happening right now…is particularly chilling. Because, in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader – Adolf Hitler – packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally. A rally where speakers voiced anti-Semitic rhetoric from a stage draped with Nazi banners,” MSNBC reported.
“Now, against that backdrop of history, Donald Trump, the man who has threatened to use the military against opponents he calls ‘enemies from within’...and to use those troops to carry out mass deportations of immigrants, is once again turning Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for extremism,” the outlet added.

In an interview on Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that the rally hosted by Trump was “the opposite of Nazism.” Kennedy previously ran for president, but dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump. Kennedy is a former Democrat.
“There was so much joy in the room and optimism and patriotism and idealism about our country and it was the opposite of Nazism,” Kennedy said in the interview.
“The need to use that most invocative, and explosive, and incendiary, and poisonous reference and it’s being used across the trop ranks of the party, it’s Hillary Clinton, it’s Kamala, I think it’s really, it’s bad for our country.”

In remarks in Nevada, vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) compared Trump’s rally to a pro-Nazi rally.
“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden. There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said in his remarks at a pro-abortion event called “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” in Henderson, Nevada.
“And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there,” Walz added.
