Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939. Hoylman-Sigal asserted that this historical similarity is striking, drawing a parallel between the pro-Hitler rally and Trump's planned event. He recalls that the Nazi rally, organized by the German American Bund, had a significant attendance of over 20,000 people and displayed overt symbols of hate, which warrants serious consideration in today's socio-political climate.
Referring to a peaceful rally for the leading candidate for President of the United States as a Nazi Rally' is not only a disgusting comparison, it is a gross escalation of the dangerous rhetoric in the wake of two direct attempts on President Donald Trump's life, said state senator Rob Ortt. This statement underscores a deep division in how political events are perceived and the broader implications of language used in political discourse.
I'm not calling anyone a Nazi, he said. I'm pointing out a historic similarity. Hoylman-Sigal emphasized the importance of recognizing the venue's history and the context of Trump's followers, trying to clarify the original intent behind his comments regarding the event at Madison Square Garden.
