On Sunday, as former President Donald Trump’s triumphant rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City was going on, an MSNBC host compared the event to the infamous February 1939 Nazi rally at the same venue.
MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart started his diatribe by quoting Trump’s former chief of staff, General John Kelly, having described Trump as a “fascist.”
Then he launched into his vituperative tirade, ignoring the fact that it is American leftists who routinely launch into violence against conservatives willing to stand up and be counted:
That jamboree, happening right now, you see it right there on your screen, in that place, is particularly chilling, because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolph 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. When a Jewish protester rushed the stage, the Associated Press reported, “Instantly a dozen or more Storm Troopers set upon him, knocking him down and beating him while he held his head in his arms. … Most of his clothing was torn from his body. Later, he was booked for disorderly conduct.”

“Now, against that backdrop of history, Donald Trump, the man who has threatened to use the military against opponents he calls enemies from within, who has threatened to use the troops to quell what he says are lawless cities, 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,” Capehart declared.
INCITEMENT: Yesterday’s Trump rally was filled with Americans from every walk of life including orthodox, conservative, reform, and secular Jews. I saw a woman in a burka. It wasn’t an anything like a Nazi rally. Shame on MSNBC.pic.twitter.com/3KEIL5ZezR

The notion of Trump being a fascist leader of Nazis is ludicrous, considering Trump as president was the strongest supporter of the state of Israel of any American president in Israel’s history. Ironically, in 1924, the Democratic National Convention was also held in Madison Square Garden, and much of the controversy revolved around whether or not to denounce the racist Ku Klux Klan. And both of the Democratic National Conventions that nominated Jimmy Carter —who hated Israel so much he drafted the strategy and wording for a speech arch-terrorist Yassar Arafat would deliver, as Carter’s biographer Douglas Brinkley noted — were held in Madison Square Garden.
