To listen to Democrats, you’d think nothing has ever happened with any political salience at Madison Square Garden except for a big Nazi rally in 1939, providing yet more evidence that Trump is a protofascist since he, too, had a rally there tonight.
That skips over FDR’s consequential speech in the arena in 1936 and JFK’s birthday party in 1962, as well as the Democratic conventions in 1976, 1980, and 1992, and George W. Bush’s highly effective convention in 2004.
That the Garden is an inherently fascistic venue is among the dumbest things we’ve heard in this campaign. Amazingly enough, Hillary Clinton has repeated this line, apparently assuming that it will never be brought to the attention of MSNBC viewers that multiple Democratic conventions have been held there, including that of her husband in 1992.
