"Let's be clear. Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939," Hoylman-Sigal tweeted. He emphasized the historical significance of the venue in relation to the Nazi rally, which drew a massive crowd supporting Hitler while large protests occurred outside, raising concerns about public safety and potential violence during the upcoming Trump rally, slated just days before the Election Day.
"This is a disastrous decision by Madison Square Garden that will endanger the public safety of New Yorkers and has the potential to incite widespread violence," Hoylman-Sigal noted, expressing grave concerns about the implications of hosting Trump's campaign event at a location with such a controversial historical precedent. He stressed the need for MSG to prioritize the safety of the city and its residents, urging the venue to reconsider the high-stakes political gathering.
The Trump campaign responded firmly, denouncing Hoylman-Sigal's remarks as divisive and irresponsible. In a statement, they referred to him as a 'no-name New York State Senator' and criticized the comparison to Nazi rallies, arguing that such rhetoric only contributes to a climate of hostility and division in America, which has been exacerbated by attacks on the former president.
