MSNBC edits 1939 Nazi rally clips into coverage of Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, sparks outrage

MSNBC edits Nazi rally clips into coverage of Trump’s MSG rally, likens ex-prez to Adolf Hitler

“But that jamboree happening right now, you see it 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,” Capehart said as MSNBC ran the clips from the Nazi rally that featured images of people demonstrating the notorious Hitler salute.

“Against that 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 to use those troops to carry out mass deportations of immigrants – is once again turning Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for extremism,” Capehart added.

Netizens fume after MSNBC’s shocking broadcast

Shortly after MSNBC’s shocking broadcast, netizens took to social media to rebuke the network for drawing parallels between the Nazi rally and Trump’s Sunday event, which was attended by the Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski. The 94-year-old, whose parents were “murdered” by Nazis, recently slammed Kamala Harris and her campaign for likening Trump to Hitler.

“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 one user on X, formerly Twitter. Meanwhile, Elon Musk said, “Wow, MSNBC is utter scum of the Earth.”
