Twice unsuccessful Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton asserted this week that former President Donald Trump was attempting to recreate a notorious Nazi rally from the 1930s in the U.S. with one of his forthcoming political events.
Clinton made these provocative comments during a Thursday night interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who asked Clinton if she viewed Trump as a “fascist.”
“You know, Kaitlan, I do,” Clinton said, later adding, “Sadly here in America, the term fits.”
“And one other thing that you’ll see next week, Kaitlan, is Trump actually re-enacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939,” Clinton said. “President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo-Nazis, fascists in America, were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany.”
The New York Post highlighted that the venue was the site of the Democratic National Convention in 1924, 1976, 1980, and 1992, the latter being the year former President Bill Clinton secured his first term in office.
“So I don’t think we can ignore it. Now, it may be a leap for some people and a lot of others may think, I don’t want to go there,” she added. “I don’t want to say that. But please, open your eyes to the danger that this man poses to our country because I think it is clear and present for anybody paying attention.”
Clinton’s comments come amid accusations from many, including Trump, who have attributed extreme statements from the political Left to the two assassination attempts on his life this year.
