Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, compared former President Trump’s Sunday rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden in to a 1939 pro-Nazi event.
“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said at an event in Henderson, Nev. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden.”
An American Nazi Party held a rally at Madison Square Garden in February 1939 that lured 20,000 supporters to the iconic New York City landmark.
“And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there,” Walz said.
That’s because it was a modern Nazi rally
For anyone who hasn’t seen this regarding that 1939 rally: https://anightatthegarden.com/
This made me sick to my stomach. I hadn’t seen the documentary before although I did know about the event. The fact that we seem to be on the precipice of this again is very frightening.
Among other things the huge parallel that stood out to me is that they push for all this racist fascist crap while wrapping themselves in what most people would consider the most revered icons of our nation. The things that we always used to use to adorn the parts of our nation we are proud of, at least until maga coopted many of them. The flag, George Washington, etc etc.
Yeah the Washington thing was weird. He’d have been very very opposed to the idea I think.
But that’s always what fascists do, isn’t it? They appropriate symbols from wherever they can find them to twist their meaning. Swastikas, Gadsden flag, Celtic crosses, Nordic runes, punisher logo, thin blue line, they all started as something else that were adopted by fascists and their meaning twisted.
Isn’t he supposed to be banned from NY? How was he allowed to have this rally where they know he won’t pay for it? Doesn’t he already owe NY millions?
He’s banned from owning any business in NY. Presumably he got his sugar daddy Elon to pay. If I were MSG, I would definitely demand the money up front, though, along with a hefty security deposit to make sure they adequately clean up.
If I were MSG I’d tell them to go fuck themselves and that I don’t want my venue associated with such garbage. But yes, money up front at all times with this dumbass.
Don’t the Dolans still own MSG? They are shitty enough that they might have done it for free
Isn’t he supposed to be banned from NY?
Honest question: huh?
Glad he said it and specifically said, don’t think for a second that they don’t know what the imagery is. This was full on, arms extended ✋ the American nazi party never went away.
