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.”
