According to Hillary Clinton, on Sunday Donald Trump was “actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939,” held by the pro-Nazi German American Bund. According to Tim Walz, “Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden. There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid 1930s at Madison Square Garden.” For MSNBC, “with racist Madison Square Garden rally, Trump and his allies prove Democrats’ point,” and so on.
For an actual Madison Square Garden rally evoking the Nazis, dial it back to the October 7, 1985 event headlined by the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan, who regards Hitler as a “great man” and calls Jews “termites.” Stanley Crouch covered the event for the Village Voice. As he noted, Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad:
simply pinned the tail on the white man. In his view, black integrationists were only asking for membership in hell, since the white man was a devil “grafted” from black people in an evil genetic experiment by a mad, pumpkin-headed scientist named Yacub. . . Here were Negroes who considered themselves the chosen people. They proclaimed that the black man was the original man, the angel, and that since the first devils to roll off Yacub’s assembly line were the Jews, the idea of their being the chosen was a lot of baloney.
Farrakhan was not the only speaker to rail against the Jews. Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) “attacked Zionism, calling for war against Israel.” Also appearing was “Palestinian” speaker, Said Arafat, who “attacked Zionism as ‘a cancer’ and called for ‘the total liberation of Palestine.’” New York mayor Ed Koch accused Farrakhan of engaging in “the vilest of anti-Semitism” at similar rallies in Washington and Los Angeles.
In 2020, a Farrakhan supporter played a leading role in violence targeting Fairfax, the oldest Jewish community in Los Angeles, ringing out with chants of “F— the police and kill the Jews.” A vocal supporter of the violence was Melina Abdullah, a lead organizer of Black Lives Matter. For Rabbi Shimon Raichik, “it’s Kristallnacht all over again,” a reference to the events of November 9-10, 1938 in Nazi Germany. In 2020, Shaun King called for a version ofKristallnacht for Christians.
“All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down,” King tweeted They are a gross form of white supremacy. Created as tools of oppression. Racist propaganda. They should all come down.” King was once a member of Black Lives Matter, which with Antifa forms the Democrats’ blackshirt militia, responsible for nationwide violence, arson and murder in 2020.
For a true Nazi-style event, recall Joe Biden’s September 1, 2022 speech, backdropped in blood red, with U.S. Marines at the ready, like something staged by Leni Riefenstahl. For the Delaware Democrat, people who want the nation to be great are the enemy. In 2024, with their “Trump is Hitler” rhetoric, Democrats and their media allies have become the drunk at the end of the bar.
