Hillary Clinton has accused Donald Trump of re-enacting a Nazi rally by holding an event in Madison Square Garden this weekend. The Telegraph has more.
As well as being the site of the NBA finals and four Democratic National Conventions, the arena was once used to host a pro-Nazi rally six months before the outbreak of World War II.
“One other thing that you’ll see next week… is Trump actually re-enacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939. I write about this in my book,” Ms. Clinton told CNN on Thursday evening.
The former Secretary of State criticised Trump for his choice of location, telling viewers: “I don’t think we can ignore it.”
“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. So I don’t think we can ignore it,” she said.
“Now, it may be a leap for some people and a lot of others may think, ‘I don’t want to go there. 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.”
Asked if she agreed with former White House chief of staff John Kelly’s classification of Trump as a “fascist”, Ms. Clinton said: “The term fits.”

With Kamala Harris saying this week that she believes that Donald Trump “is a fascist”, this seems to be the Dems’ final-hour strategy to smear Trump: liken him to Hitler. Desperate stuff.
Stop Press: The Washington Post has refused to endorse Kamala Harris, the first time in 36 years that the paper has not endorsed a Presidential candidate, according to Breitbart, and hot on the heels of a non-endorsement from the L.A. Times, her hometown paper. Ouch.
