Thousands gathered for an electrified Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City recently, drawing a diverse crowd that included Jewish supporters. But as usual, Democrats were quick to try to ruin a good thing. Despite the rally’s location at a well-known Manhattan venue with a history of hosting Jewish and anti-Nazi events, some Democratic figures, including vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz, claimed the rally’s setting was a nod to a 1930s Nazi gathering held at the same venue.
Tim Walz repeats the disgusting smear that President Trump's "big rally" at Madison Square Garden today is somehow akin to a 1939 Nazi rally.
He must've missed the '76, '80, and '92 Democrat conventions, which were also held at MSG.

Democratic strategist James Carville and Hillary Clinton also fueled this theory, suggesting Trump’s choice of location was intended as a “Nazi reenactment.”
For many Jewish attendees, the accusation was offensive and misleading, with images from the event showing Orthodox and Hasidic Jews among Trump supporters.

The Democratic claims drew criticism from Trump supporters, who saw them as an attempt to smear the event and stoke fear among voters. Observers noted that similar comparisons were made during Clinton’s 2016 campaign, which created widespread public tension but did not deter Trump’s base.
This constant barrage of of accusations from the Left is simply a desperate tactic deployed by Democrats to sway public opinion against Trump. They’ll do anything they can to divert attention from substantive policy debates and portray Trump’s diverse base in an unfair light, all while trying to connect him to harmful ideologies without factual basis. But Trump continues to prove them wrong, and every rally represents his dedication to reaching all Americans, countering attempts to polarize his supporters through divisive claims. We are going to make America great again!
