Americans Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind, a lifelong Democrat turned Republican, criticized Hillary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris for comparing former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally at the famous venue in the 1930s.
“My God, what the hell is wrong with these people,” Hikind said in a video posted to X. “This desperation on the part of Hillary Clinton and Harris calling Donald Trump a facist.”
“Madison Square Garden. Half the place is going to be Jews there to support Donald Trump,” he added. “They are so freaking desperate and they are ready to destroy America.”
Hikind noted that his mother was a holocaust survivor in the Auschwitz concentration camp and that most of her family were killed by the Nazis.

Clinton has linked the rally at MSG to the infamous Nazi rally that took place in the arena in 1939. The event was organized by the pro-Nazi German American Bund and was attended by thousands in the lead-up to World War II.
On Sunday, Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, echoed the same comparison.
“Donald Trump’s got this big, rally going at Madison Square Garden. 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 said.
