Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently claimed that former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden was an attempt to echo a Nazi rally held there in the 1930s. “Don’t miss on this, go do your Google on this — Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” he blared at his supporters. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.” Walz urged supporters to research this alleged “parallel,” referencing a conspiracy theory proposed by Democratic strategist James Carville and reiterated by Hillary Clinton. You can see the lies roll off his tongue in a video shared by Trump’s war room on X, but try not to throw up with disgust.
Tim Walz repeats the disgusting smear that President Trump’s “big rally” at Madison Square Garden today is somehow akin to a 1939 Nazi rally.
He must’ve missed the ’76, ’80, and ’92 Democrat conventions, which were also held at MSG.

In response, conservative outlets highlighted the venue’s history, noting that it has hosted events of all kinds, including anti-Nazi rallies in the 1930s and 1940s. Breitbart noted the following earlier this month:
The popular venue in midtown Manhattan is the home arena of the New York Knicks. It hosts famous musicians, most recently a residency by Billy Joel that lasted for several years. In 1933, Jews held an anti-Nazi rally there.
But according to Carville, the fact that Trump is holding a rally there on October 27 is a signal to Nazis because Madison Square Garden also hosted the German American Bund’s pro-Nazi rally in 1939, before World War II.
…
According to the National Park Service’s history of the old Madison Square Garden site, there was also another anti-Nazi gathering at Madison Square Garden in 1943, once the scale of the Holocaust was becoming increasingly widely known.
Trump’s rally had no shortage of Jews in attendance, either, which further disproves Democrats’ ‘Nazi’ narrative. One notable Jewish Trump supporter, who used to be a Democrat, shared an explosive video on X:
My mother and her entire family were sent to Aushwitz. How despicable of @HillaryClinton & @VP for making any reference to Hitler and Nazis in relation to the @realDonaldTrump rally @TheGarden

There’s no denying what Walz is trying to do with his ‘Nazi’ claims. It’s an obvious smear tactic deployed by Democrats in an attempt to sway undecided voters and fuel divisive rhetoric against Trump.
This is all part of a broader pattern of left-wing strategies aimed at associating Trump with extreme ideologies. They’re doing everything they can to distract from policy discussions, while attempting to associate Trump with historical horrors to heighten unnecessary tension. Why do they have to resort to these dirty tactics? Because Dems are struggling to engage with Americans on issues of policy, unlike Trump, who is laser-focused on making meaningful changes for Americans. The only card they have to play is to smear him and attack his character. But America won’t be fooled, and that will be abundantly clear on November 5th.
