‘Scum of the earth’ MSNBC, the Dems and the ludicrous Trump-is-Hitler hysteria

“I don’t see no stinking Nazis in here!”
In eight blunt words from the podium at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan summed up the ludicrous façade at the heart of the Democrats’ increasingly desperate campaign to depict her opponent as the new Hitler.
I was at the Garden too on Sunday night, the first time I’ve attended any Trump rally, and I didn’t see any stinking Nazis either.

Instead, I saw a lot of Jewish people and some pro-Israel banners, which would have looked somewhat out of place had it been a Nazi rally.
Yet that is what Hillary Clinton declared it would be.

“One other thing that you’ll see next week,” she told CNN last Thursday, “is Trump actually re-enacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939.”
She was referring to the infamous night at MSG a few months before World War II broke out when a group called the German-American Bund held a rally supposedly to celebrate George Washington’s 207th birthday, but which in fact was a grotesquely anti-Semitic celebration of the ascent of Hitler’s Third Reich Nazi government and its undisguised hatred of Jews.
It was a despicable comparison for Clinton to make, but entirely in keeping with liberals’ incessant and hysterical demonization of Trump as a fascist, a Nazi, and a dangerous existential threat to American democracy.

Kamala Harris promised us a positive mantra of “joy” when she replaced Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket, but as we’ve got nearer to Election Day, her message has predictably descended into relentlessly negative Trump-bashing.
And the liberal-dominated mainstream US media is gleefully joining in, just as they conspired to wrongly accuse him of colluding with Russia to win in 2016.
The shocking hypocrites at MSNBC, who vowed not to air Trump rallies on their hard-left network but then couldn’t help themselves when they smelled a big ratings opportunity on Sunday night, shamefully juxtaposed Trump rally footage with the 1939 footage.
“That jamboree happening right now,” said one of their anchors, “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.”
Aside from the fact that Trump has been an outspoken supporter of Israel, his son-in-law is Jewish, and his daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism when she married Jared, there was an actual Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski in the crowd.
What kind of warped, deranged mind thinks it’s OK to tell a man like him he’s at a Nazi rally?
No wonder Elon Musk, who spoke at the rally, branded MSNBC “scum of the Earth” on his social media platform X.

When Kamala Harris was asked about the comparison between the two rallies, she made no attempt to deny it was accurate and accused Trump of fanning the fuel of hate and division.
Oh, the irony!
What could be more hateful and divisive than telling Americans that Trump is a Nazi, implying that anyone who goes to one of his rallies is a Nazi too?
The hypocrisy is sickening.

The last time I was at Madison Square Garden, it was the day after Trump’s stunning win at the 2016 election, and I found myself sitting next to the comedian Chris Rock, so I asked him why he thought Trump had won.
“If someone’s murdered eight people,” he said, “don’t go around saying he’s murdered nine.”

Obviously, he didn’t mean Trump had actually murdered anyone — he just meant there is plenty of stuff to legitimately criticize him about without absurdly exaggerating his danger.
But the truth is that the Dems don’t seem to know any other way.
They’re freaking out at how close this race is and resorting to the tired old Hitler/Nazi bulls—t again to try to terrify Americans into not voting for him.
It won’t work.
As I told President Trump when we spoke on the phone on Sunday morning, Kamala Harris has turned out to be a terrible candidate and the more Americans hear from her, and especially her angry ranting about him, the less popular she gets.
They can’t focus on “joy” because nobody feels very joyful amid the ongoing very painful cost-of-living crisis, and nor can they focus on Kamala’s plans to reinvigorate America because it’s clear from the few interviews she gives that she doesn’t really have any.
It’s also clear from the polls that when it comes to who Americans trust to fix the two biggest issues of an inflation-ravaged economy and illegal immigration crisis then it’s Trump not her.
The most shocking and for me, pertinent revelation from last night’s event didn’t happen on stage but outside.
A Secret Service agent told me that just 150 protestors turned up to express their dismay at Donald Trump holding a rally at the very heart of New York City, when they’d been expecting thousands.
In 2016, vast armies of foam-mouthed liberals took to the same streets to howl their rage about him.
If they really believed he’s the new Hitler, they’d have probably found the strength to get off their lazy backsides and come and protest.
Their absence said it all.
