Democrats slammed for comparing Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to pro-Hitler event in 1939

Trump supporters have railed against MSNBC after host Jonathan Capehart likened the rally former President Donald Trump held Sunday at Madison Square Garden to a rally held for Adolf Hitler at the same location in 1939.

“In 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” Mr. Capehart said Sunday on MSNBC. 

“Now, against the 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 use those troops to carry out mass deportations of immigrants, is once again turning Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for extremism,” he said.
