MSNBC is facing fierce backlash for using Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. <br /><br />The left-leaning network included footage from the 1939 Nazi rally at the New York City arena and compared it to Trump’s rally, which packed the famed venue. <br /><br />“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,” the anchor said while rolling the footage. <br /><br />The juxtaposition of the two videos was blasted as “shameful” by conservatives, who pointed out the diversity of the crowd. <br /><br />“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. <br /><br />Others pointed out that Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski was among those in attendance. <br /><br />Critics even went so far as to accuse the network of “incitement.” <br /><br />Tesla founder Elon Musk, who spoke at the rally, also blasted MSNBC as the “scum of the Earth” on X. <br /><br />Democrats have attempted to portray themselves as the party of positivity and unity. <br /><br />Vice President Kamala Harris tried to highlight that sentiment during her nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in August when she called for “a new way forward.” <br /><br />However, MSNBC appeared to ditch the heart of that message and compare Trump supporters to Nazis. <br /><br />“Trump had a Revolutionary Rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The Energy was unmatched and a Promise of a Better America was on the horizon,” wrote Sam Mitha. <br /><br />“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. <br /><br />Others pointed out that Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski was among those present on Sunday.
