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.
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.
“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.
The juxtaposition of the two videos was blasted as “shameful” by conservatives, who pointed out the diversity of the crowd.
“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.
Others pointed out that Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski was among those in attendance.
Critics even went so far as to accuse the network of “incitement.”
Tesla founder Elon Musk, who spoke at the rally, also blasted MSNBC as the “scum of the Earth” on X.
Democrats have attempted to portray themselves as the party of positivity and unity.
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.”
However, MSNBC appeared to ditch the heart of that message and compare Trump supporters to Nazis.
“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.
“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.
