British Media Compare Trump Speech to Nazi Rally in Hysterical Coverage
Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden last night had the usual left-wing suspects frothing at the mouth. Seizing on the fact that there was a pro-Nazi rally in the same venue back in 1939, Sky News dutifully cranked out a long piece under its “eyewitness” section, titled: “Was Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally an evocation of Nazism?”. The first sentences peddles the ‘Trump neo-Nazi’ line:
“An evocation of Nazism? Of course it was, and of course it wasn’t. Like everything else in this election, the narrative cuts both ways.”
The Guardian couldn’t resist piling on either:
“Anger and vitriol took centre stage at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, as Donald Trump and a cabal of campaign surrogates held a rally marked by racist comments, coarse insults, and dangerous threats about immigrants.”
The Independent came up with its own sensational headline: “Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally was an orgy of fascism.” In the liberal elite’s rush to smear, they conveniently leave out the fact that Madison Square Garden has hosted no shortage of political titans over the decades. Here’s just a few:
- 1940: Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt, fresh off re-election against Wendell Wilkie, rallied his supporters.
- 1956: Eisenhower filled the Garden with cheers as he campaigned to re-elect his ticket alongside Nixon.
- 1964: President Lyndon Johnson fired up the Democrats there.
- 1968: Richard Nixon took his turn, rallying for the presidency.
Meanwhile, Trump is in the lead in the polls. Just 8 days to go…
