MSNBC is facing heavy backlash for using Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

The far-left network included footage from a 1939 Nazi rally at the New York City arena and compared it to its own Trump rally, which had a packed arena.

“But that jamboree happening right now, that you see there on your screen in that place, is particularly chilling because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” the anchor said at the time of showing the footage.

The comparison of the two videos was called “shameful” by conservatives, who pointed out the diversity of the crowd.

“Yesterday’s Trump rally was filled with Americans from every walk of life, including orthodox, conservative, reform, and secular Jews. I saw a woman in a burka. It wasn’t anything like a Nazi rally. Shame on MSNBC,” wrote X user @amuse.

Several others pointed out that Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski was at the Trump rally.

Critics even went so far as to accuse the network of “incitement.”

Additionally, Tesla founder and Trump supporter Elon Musk, who spoke at the massive rally, also blasted MSNBC as the “scum of the Earth” on X.

Meanwhile, Democrats have tried to appeal to voters as the party of positivity and unity.

But MSNBC has appeared to toss that notion and compare Trump supporters to Nazis.

“Trump had a Revolutionary Rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The energy was unmatched and the Promise of a Better America was on the horizon,” wrote Sam Mitha.

“Liberal Media couldn’t handle this, so they ran a Propaganda Campaign simultaneously. They compared this Trump Rally to a NAZI Rally in 1939,” he added.

“You don’t hate the media enough,” posted Republican pundit Colin Rugg. “Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski was in attendance at the rally this evening, along with other Jews who were supporting Trump.”

The 94-year-old Wartski endorsed Trump last week in a campaign video and slammed Harris for referring to the 45th president as a “fascist.”

After being asked why Jewish people should support the former president, the Holocaust survivor responded, “Because he’s a mensch.”

STEPHEN GARDNER: Trump issues BOMBSHELL legal threat!!

One week before the election, a serious case of election fraud has surfaced in Pennsylvania. Lancaster County detectives received 2,500 voter registration forms just before the submission deadline on October 21st. These forms, some dated as far back as June, are suspected of being submitted last minute to overwhelm election officials. ZeroHedge suggests this was likely a tactic to avoid detection. The fraud, which appears linked to a canvassing group, involved fake or forged registrations. Lancaster County DA Heather Adams believes the scam, stretching back to June, had most forms dated after August 15th. Some registrations used real names with forged signatures, and over 1,000 illegal votes could have been cast if this scheme hadn’t been caught. This isn't the only instance of interference. Ballot drop boxes were set on fire in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. While the Oregon box had fire protection, Vancouver's did not, possibly destroying hundreds of ballots. Additionally, in California, hundreds of ballots were found stuffed in a drainpipe instead of being delivered to voters' homes. With reports of fraud and voter interference, Trump has issued a significant legal threat, pointing to these incidents as proof that election fraud isn’t impossible. Meanwhile, Trump’s recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast has garnered 35 million views on YouTube. One key takeaway was Trump's suggestion to replace federal income tax with tariffs. Trump argued that tariffs on foreign countries taking U.S. jobs could fund the government, but Rogan pushed back, questioning if tariffs alone could support the entire economy. Trump also discussed his handling of ISIS and criticized the military leadership during Obama’s term for not eliminating the group sooner. He emphasized his claim that, under his watch, Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine. While withholding specifics, Trump hinted that he had private conversations with Putin that likely deterred an invasion. CNN fact-checked the interview, highlighting 32 claims they said were false, including a statement about China flying 28 bombers over Taiwan the day he left office. While CNN noted the incident occurred on Biden’s third day in office and didn’t involve 28 bombers, the broader point remains about China’s provocative behavior.

Christians MUST stand up and vote in the 2024 election

Should Christians vote in the 2024 election? Some argue that they can't support either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. Others say Christians should stay out of worldly politics. But Pastor Josh McPherson of Grace City Church joins Glenn to explain why he has "a fundamental conviction that we cannot be Biblical unless we ARE political." It's time for followers of Christ - both in the pews and in the pulpit - to stand up, speak out, and VOTE: "When the Church goes silent, a culture loses its conscience and government loses its mind, and everyone suffers."

Ballot Drop Boxes In Oregon And Washington Set On Fire, Incendiary Devices Found

A little over a week before Election Day, ballot drop boxes in Portland, Oregon, and nearby Vancouver, Washington, were set on fire early Monday morning, according to police.

Three ballot boxes were severely damaged in Portland, according to local officials, while “hundreds” may have been impacted in Vancouver.

According to the Portland Police Bureau, a sidewalk ballot box in the Central City area had an “incendiary device” inside of it. The fire had been put out by local security forces by the time officers arrived on the scene at around 3:30 a.m. local time.

“Officers determined an incendiary device was placed inside the ballot box and used to ignite the fire,” a statement from the Portland police read, noting that the bureau’s Explosive Disposal Unit removed the mechanism.

Police in Portland are continuing to investigate. The Multnomah County election office claimed that “fire suppressant inside the ballot box protected virtually all the ballots.”

“Voters should be assured that even if their ballots were in an affected box, their votes will be counted,” the statement read.

About 30 minutes after the Portland fire was reported, at 4 a.m. local time, police in Vancouver, Washington, similarly responded to a separate ballot box fire.

According to NBC News affiliate KGW, smoke and flames were observed coming from a box next to the Fisher’s Landing Transit Depot.

When Vancouver police arrived, they found a “suspicious device” close to the box and reported seeing smoke and flames. The bomb was seized by the city’s Metro Explosive Disposal Unit once the fire was extinguished.

Unlike officials in Oregon, Greg Kimsey, the auditor for Clark County, admitted that “hundreds” of ballots may have been damaged. In order to find out the status of their ballot, he advised any voters who put theirs in a box after 11 a.m. on Saturday to get in touch with the office.

Although authorities have not officially assigned a motive, and it is unknown whether the incidents in Portland and Vancouver are connected, they coincide with nationwide election officials maintaining their own vigilance in relation to the concerning trend.

Previous reports of a “suspicious device” next to a downtown ballot box also prompted the Vancouver bomb squad to respond earlier this month, according to police. They later announced that the device was “safely removed” and the vote box itself was allegedly “not compromised,” according to a press summary.

In a fiercely contested House campaign, Democrat Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Vancouver is running against Republican Joe Kent, who is backed by Donald Trump, in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District.

In addition, in Phoenix, a U.S. Postal Service mailbox was set on fire last week, causing damage to an unspecified number of ballots. A suspect who admitted to arson but claimed there was no political motivation for the act, was taken into custody by police.

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner Sues Elon Musk Over Swing-State Voter Lottery

On Monday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and his PAC in order to prevent them from disbursing $1 million daily to a registered voter in a swing state who signs their petition.

The petition simply asks people to sign if they desire secure borders, safe cities, free speech, sensible spending, self-protection, and a fair justice system in the U.S.

Additionally, the First and Second Amendments, which address American constitutional rights related to speech, religion, and firearms, are endorsed by petition signatories.

“America PAC and Musk are luring Philadelphia citizens – and others in the Commonwealth (and other swing states in the upcoming election) – to give up their personal identifying information and make a political pledge in exchange for the chance to win $1 million,” according to the legal complaint.

“America PAC’s and Musk’s lottery is plainly not a lawful lottery,” the lawsuit notes.

The complaint claims that the lottery is in violation of Pennsylvania law, which mandates that all lotteries in the state be subject to government regulation. Additionally, the DA argued that Musk and his American PAC “have not published a complete set of lottery rules or shown how they are protecting the privacy of participants’ personal information,” which he highlighted is a violation of Pennsylvania consumer protection laws.

Musk is accused in the case of “falsely claiming” that the winner was chosen at random, with the liberal DA asserting that “multiple winners that have been selected are individuals who have shown up at Trump rallies in Pennsylvania.”

However, after the story first broke, social media users noted that it is not abnormal for Trump supporters to sign a petition touting the same ideals that the Republican Party and Trump have openly expressed as guiding principles for how the U.S. should operate.

Musk has publicly expressed support for the GOP nominee, former President Donald Trump, appearing at a number of Trump rallies alongside the former president and large crowds of supporters.

According to the lawsuit, Musk and the PAC purportedly promised to give $100 to registered voters who signed a pro-First and Second Amendment petition, but the district attorney’s office stated that they don’t believe that any of those payments have been made.

CNN reported that the PAC has already received a warning letter from the U.S. Justice Department claiming that the gift may be in violation of federal election law.

Last Thursday, Musk seemed unfazed by the warning. The PAC declared two victors on Thursday but did not declare a winner on Wednesday.

The Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas is being asked by Krasner to issue an order that would forbid Musk and his political action committee from carrying out “any unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with their lottery.”

Meanwhile, the New York Times reported last week that Bill Gates “disclosed in private” that he donated around $50 million to a nonprofit assisting Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for president, according to individuals familiar with the matter who spoke with the outlet.

At the start of October, the makers of the “raunchy” card game Cards Against Humanity offered to pay blue-leaning non-voters in battleground states $100 as long as they made voting plans and posted on social media that “Donald Trump is a human toilet.”

In addition, the Tufts University Career Center has similarly offered a pro-Harris initiative, “compensating people up to $400 to talk with their friends and family about voting.” Specifically, the program is “about supporting Kamala Harris for President, as well as candidates who are fighting for climate change, reproductive freedom, democracy, healthcare, marijuana legalization, and more. It’s a chance to help shape the future while making a tangible difference,” according to its website.
