‘Scum of the Earth’: MSNBC directly conflates 1939 pro-Nazi rally with Trump’s NYC ‘jamboree’ in live coverage

October 28, 2024 | | Print Article

MSNBC is deservedly being blasted into oblivion over shocking coverage of former President Donald Trump’s New York City rally.

In a stunning display of biased rhetoric, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart claimed there were “chilling” parallels between the Madison Square Garden rally and a 1939 pro-Nazi rally at the same venue. Airing clips from decades ago of the event by supporters of German dictator Adolf Hitler, Capehart declared that Trump used Madison Square Garden as a “staging ground for extremism.”

Attorney and political commentator Marina Medvin noted in a reaction to the coverage: “I didn’t think MSNBC could sink any lower.”

Capehart’s delivery and the startling description of Trump’s “jamboree” filled with patriotic American voters was blasted by Elon Musk who called out the network as the “utter scum of the Earth.”

Steve Benen, a producer for “The Rachel Maddow Show,” penned a blog piece titled, “With racist Madison Square Garden rally, Trump and his allies prove Democrats’ point.”

“Before Trump’s event at the New York City arena, Democrats drew parallels to a Nazi event in 1939. After the gathering, the comparisons were unavoidable,” the piece declared, adding gasoline to the fire.

MSNBC was not alone in drumming up the inflammatory comparisons.

Logic being far from the minds of leftist Trump-haters, social media was quickly able to challenge the narrative.

The popular X account @amuse called it straight out “incitement.”

“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,” read a post. “It wasn’t an anything like a Nazi rally. Shame on MSNBC.”

Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk broke it down.

“The purpose of the Hitler messaging is very simple,’ he wrote in a post on X.

“They want to create permission for someone to try and murder Trump while also creating urgency for their rank and file to commit micro actions of fraud on the ground,” Kirk continued. “If you believe you are actually running against Hitler, what wouldn’t you do?”

“This is all about trying to motivate their maniacs to do crazy stuff,” he added, urging Americans to “Stay focused. Go vote. Pray.”

Many more joined in on social media to blast MSNBC and others twisting the MAGA message.
