DEROY MURDOCK: I used to be on the Trump Madison Sq. Backyard rally. MSNBC’s take is totally nuts

“Breaking Information,” an MSNBC banner insisted on Sunday night time. “Trump’s MSG rally comes 85 years after pro-Nazi rally on the famed area.” The far-left community’s breathless report featured chilling black-and-white footage of the German American Bund’s infamous Nationwide Socialist gathering, full with swastika armbands and stiff-armed salutes.  

Referring to Trump’s packed-to-the rafters occasion at Madison Sq. Backyard, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart mentioned: “However that jamboree taking place proper now, you see it there in your display screen in that place, is especially chilling as a result of in 1939, greater than 20,000 supporters of a special fascist chief, Adolf Hitler, packed the Backyard for a so-called pro-America rally – a rally the place audio system voiced antisemitic rhetoric from a stage draped with Nazi banners.” When a Jewish protester rushed the stage, Capehart defined, American storm troopers yanked his garments off and beat him as he cradled his head in his arms. 

Scary! However way more than that, that is disgusting, vile garbage. And – as luck would have it – this is also spectacularly inaccurate.

The Nazi rally occurred on the outdated Madison Sq. Backyard at eighth Avenue and West forty ninth Avenue, dwelling of immediately’s Worldwide Plaza workplace and retail advanced. Trump and his supporters weren’t “in that place,” as MSNBC’s misinformation claimed.

The truth is, Trump’s extravaganza was a mile south, at eighth Avenue and West thirty third Avenue, in a venue that started internet hosting occasions in 1968 – the identical 12 months that the outdated MSG was demolished and changed into a car parking zone. Not solely was the MAGA nation not on the identical defiled floor as that pre-World Battle II Hitlerfest. The power in query has not even existed for 56 years.  

Your entire premise of MSNBC’s hyperventilation – and that of Hillary Clinton and different Trump haters – has collapsed like an area pummeled by a wrecking ball. Too dangerous these Trumpophobes did not spend 5 minutes on the Google machine to study MSG’s three incarnations, the primary two of which had been razed. Maybe drowning Trump in archival footage of swastika flags is simply too essential to interact in high-school-paper stage fact-checking.  

The left’s whole Nuremberg-Rally-on-the-Hudson Huge Lie suffers from greater than only a fatally flawed timeline. 

Trump’s occasion, which I used to be happy and proud to attend, bore no resemblance in any way to the 1939 event that has the left soiling themselves in concern. 

Relatively than ferocious U.S. storm troopers, I noticed 1000’s of calm, cheerful males, girls and kids lined up from the center of West thirty third Avenue and wrapped north after which east round 1 Penn Plaza – all the way in which to the center of West thirty fourth Avenue. They peacefully and patriotically waited in a cool autumn breeze to enter MSG.

As soon as inside – so far as I might inform – no Jews had been yanked from the stage and pounded into submission. Au contraire, Trump advisor Stephen Miller, Trump’s buddy and golf accomplice Steve Witkoff, and Cantor Fitzgerald chief Howard Lutnick had been welcomed to the stage. These Jewish gents supplied heat and passionate phrases of help for Trump.  

The gang – which stuffed each row, all the way in which to the highest aisle behind the rostrum –cheered and applauded these audio system with plentiful enthusiasm. Miller, Witkoff and Lutnick had been permitted to depart the stage. All three had been totally dressed, and none exhibited indicators of bodily assault or trauma.  

In an much more dramatic departure from Nazism, Congressman Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and Loss of life Row Data Co-Founder Michael “Harry O” Harris addressed the red-capped lots. These two Black males additionally endorsed Trump, to the large satisfaction of the mega-MAGA devoted.

The event additionally featured the characteristically fiery-yet-eloquent phrases of former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy – a Hindu distinctly missing in blond hair and blue eyes. Ramaswamy (very like Miller) electrified the viewers together with his stirring advocacy of Trump and his insurance policies. 

The youngest main presidential contender in reminiscence additionally mentioned that homosexual People had been welcome within the MAGA tent, as long as they agreed with Trump and his followers that males and boys haven’t any place in girls’s and women’ sports activities, and gender transition ought to be restricted to adults. “Homosexual marriage is ok, however fingers off the youngsters!” is a MAGA tenet that enjoys widespread enchantment throughout the ideological spectrum.   

The occasion felt like a one-day Republican Nationwide Conference. The joy, vitality and camaraderie recalled a kind of quadrennial nominating affairs. The audio system had been additionally of that caliber. They included, amongst others, former congresswoman and up to date GOP convert Tulsi Gabbard, Home Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Hulk Hogan and Eric and Lara Trump.  

The GOP nominee’s different son was aghast at what inflation did to his household’s current fast-food tab. ” If Donald Trump Jr. has sticker shock at McDonald’s, we have now a significant issue in our nation.”

This event had its surreal qualities, political commentator Tucker Carlson famous. “Simply one other day following Bobby Kennedy, Jr., at a Donald Trump rally in Madison Sq. Backyard … Yeah, that is completely regular!” 

Among the many speeches and snippets of traditional rock tunes equivalent to “Candy Dwelling Alabama” and “Candy Baby of Mine,” the marketing campaign introduced a number of new slogans on screens and in movies and hallway shows. Many are 4 phrases lengthy, like Make America Nice Once more. They’re caveman-simple, however direct, highly effective, compelling and manly: 

• “Higher Off with Trump”
• “Dream Huge Once more”
• “No Tax on Additional time”
• “Make America Sturdy Once more”

And my favourite:

Melania Trump made a shock look, to introduce her husband. As Donald J. Trump lastly took the stage to a deafening ovation, Lee Greenwood serenaded the as soon as and maybe future First Couple with a reside rendition of “I am Proud to Be an American.” 

Trump himself spoke positively and optimistically about November 5 as “Liberation Day” and promised a captivating mixture of main tax cuts, deregulation, vitality liberation, Elon Musk and Howard Lutnick to steer an enormous federal budget-slashing effort, tariffs, and Golden Rule commerce coverage (relating to worldwide commerce, do unto different nations as they do onto us). I name this supply-side protectionism. I like the primary half higher than the second. If anybody can fuse these two seemingly contradictory approaches, it must be Donald J. Trump. 

Relatively than a Thousand Yr Reich, which Hitler promised Germany, Trump spoke warmly of “a brand new golden age.”

This event had its surreal qualities, political commentator Tucker Carlson famous. “Simply one other day following Bobby Kennedy, Jr., at a Donald Trump rally in Madison Sq. Backyard … Yeah, that is completely regular!” 

The occasion’s one bitter be aware was comic Tony Hinchcliffe’s crack about an island made from rubbish floating in the midst of the ocean: Puerto Rico. He was the day’s first speaker and appeared when MSG was about half full. Whereas the remainder of his set was amusing, that line drew appropriately few laughs and, as a substitute, one thing between silence and groans. Trump and his marketing campaign have disassociated themselves from these remarks. 

It is a rattling disgrace that Hinchcliffe is a noxious distraction from an in any other case upbeat and extraordinary occasion in fashionable politics. And Adolf Hitler would have hated the entire thing.
