Jewish Republicans are denouncing MSNBC for comparing former President Donald Trump\u2019s historic Big Apple rally to a Nazi event, mocking the left-wing network for its hysteria and posting pictures of themselves at the campaign gathering.\n\n

More than 20,000 Trump supporters\u00a0packed Madison Square Garden\u00a0Sunday night for a marathon rally featuring MAGA luminaries and capped off with a rousing and bombastic speech by the former president.\n

Many\u00a0Jews were also in attendance, who have been taking to X to voice their outrage and rip the network for its careless comparison.\n

Jewish Trump supporters were out in force on X sharing photos of them at Sunday\u2019s MSG rally.\n

\u201cI\u2019m Jewish. I went to the Nazi rally. I\u2019m voting for Trump. Any questions?\u201d wrote one X user in a\u00a0post\u00a0viewed nearly 900,000 times, complete with a picture from inside the rally.\n

MSNBC has\u00a0faced significant criticism for its over-the-top coverage of the rally, including a segment where host Jonathan Capehart called the MSG rally \u201cchilling\u201d while juxtaposing black and white footage of an infamous 1939 Nazi rally with live footage of Sunday\u2019s event.\n

\u201cIn 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader \u2013 Adolf Hitler \u2013 packed the Garden for a so-called \u2018pro-America rally,\u2019\u201d he said in a widely panned broadcast, ignoring the fact that the archival clip was held in a previous iteration of Madison Square Garden that wasn\u2019t even in the same location.\n

Auschwitz survivor Jerry Wartski, 94, who also attended the so-called \u201cNazi rally,\u201d slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for encouraging such comparisons in a\u00a0video post on X.\n

\u201cI know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes. For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I\u2019ve ever heard in my 75 years of living in the United States.\u201d\n

Other self-identified Jewish X users\u00a0pressed for more specifics\u00a0about how exactly the event \u2014 which was attended by a diverse crowd including black people, gay people, Asians, Jews, Latinos and more \u2014 could possibly be construed as a Nazi rally.\n

\u201cOrthodox Jew here. Please explain to all of us Orthodox Jewish Trump supporters (the vast majority of Orthodox Jews) how it\u2019s a \u2018Nazi rally.\u2019\u201d\n

Another\u00a0video posted\u00a0by lifelong New Yorker Debra Lea viewed more than 1.1 million times explained in great detail why the network\u2019s comparison is preposterous.\n

\u201cThere were so many Jews there, just like myself, there [were] Israeli flags, and nearly every single speaker talked about their commitment to upholding the relationship between US and Israel,\u201d she said, wearing a Star of David pendant and a black MAGA hat with orange lettering.\n

\u201cNot to mention all the Latinos for Trump, Gays for Trump, and nearly every other group that would never have been allowed in if this was actually a Nazi rally.\u201d\n

An X user\u00a0critiqued the readiness\u00a0with which so many left-wing media consumers bought into the comparisons.\n

\u201cNot picking a political side here, but calling the Trump rally a Nazi campaign is so anti-patriotic. There were many races speaking at that campaign and none of them were about killing all the Jews. Y\u2019all lost in this media propaganda.\u201d\n

\"Trump\n

More than 20,000 die-hard Trump supporters from diverse backgrounds \u2014 including many Jews \u2014 packed MSG Sunday for a historic campaign rally.\n

Pressed by a reporter at a campaign event Tuesday, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz \u2014 who\u00a0took heat for likening the MSG rally to a Nazi gathering\u00a0earlier in the week \u2014\u00a0offered a half-hearted, mealy-mouthed\u00a0double-down on his incendiary rhetoric.\n

\u201cI know what I saw, and I\u2019ll leave it at that.\u201d\n

At a campaign event in Coplay, Pennsylvania Tuesday,\u00a0Donald Trump Jr. expressed bewilderment\u00a0at the comparison.\n

\u201cTrump at Madison Square Garden, there was once a Nazi rally there 90 years ago. What\u2019s your point?\u201d Trump Jr. shot back from the stump at a shooting range in purple Lehigh County.\n

\u201cI think Taylor Swift just played Madison Square Garden,\u201d he continued, to laughter from the crowd. \u201cDoes that make her a Nazi?\u201d\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
