Does it remind you of Nazism? Of course it was, and of course it wasn’t.
Like everything else in this election, the story goes both ways.
Madison Square Garden is New York City’s iconic spectacle venue. It is the setting for a major event, no doubt giving prestige to candidates as they close out their campaigns.
Donald Trump, who appeared at MSG, has himself listed on the same Wikipedia page as a New York Knicks game, hundreds of rock concerts, and two of the three Ali vs. Frazier games.
If you type “Nazi” into the search, you’ll find that too. The largest Nazi rally in U.S. history was held in this garden in 1939, just months before the outbreak of World War II.
A group called the German American Band hired the venue for an event and decorated the stage with swastikas for a “pro-American” rally.
As a venue that celebrates its history, it cannot hide its shame. The Trump campaign’s organizing committee is the team that manages the candidate who was once branded by his vice presidential aide as “America’s Hitler” and by a former senior military advisor as “a deep-rooted fascist.” There was no way that this could go unnoticed.
Just last week, that description was echoed by former chief of staff John Kelly, who said Trump would show military personnel the same respect that Adolf Hitler’s Nazi generals showed the German dictator during World War II. He told The New York Times that he wished the students would have shown this, too. . His claims were denied by Donald Trump.
MSG’s reservations have been heavily attacked by President Trump’s opponents, who portray him as a dangerous authoritarian with a clear authoritarian agenda. For Trump’s second term, read “The Third Reich,” they say.
In fact, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused President Trump of reenacting the 1939 rally, saying it was “more volatile, more volatile” than when she confronted Trump in 2016. “There is,” he said.
Trump’s team labeled this particular claim “offensive,” noting that Trump himself held an event at MSG and that her husband Bill accepted the Democratic nomination there.
Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donald, who spoke at the MSG rally, told Sky News: “That’s not even a question and you know that. The opposition is stupid and losing and will do anything to move up the rankings. Because I’m doing it,” he said. Get rid of it voters, we’ll do better. ”
“There’s nothing worth seeing here,” is the response, and any whiff of anger is sure to be blown away.
The Republican Party’s credibility is based on its experience dealing with political candidates who are in competitive positions in presidential elections despite burdens such as sexual abuse, corporate fraud and criminal convictions. There was a time when either of these would have been the end for a politician. Career – Not now.
This is controversial because of the background noise and a significant number of voters stopped listening, which is important enough to keep him in the race.
