MSNBC continues to redefine the term “low blow” in their desperate attempts to smear Donald Trump. In an act reminiscent of an overzealous reality TV show producer, the network aired clips from a pro-Nazi rally held in 1939 while covering Trump’s recent rally at Madison Square Garden. In an environment where facts seem to take a backseat to outrage, this broadcasting blunder has drawn widespread rebuke from conservatives everywhere, who couldn’t help but question the network’s judgment. After all, who thinks linking a modern political rally to one of history’s darkest periods is a sound editorial decision?
Drawing a rather peculiar parallel between Trump and Hitler, an MSNBC anchor dragged viewers through an absurd historical narrative. Mentioning that previous fascists once gathered at Madison Square Garden almost a century ago, the anchor seemed to forget the old adage: just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. The attempt to liken a charismatic political event filled with supporters to a gathering of Nazi sympathizers was as misguided as using a potato to fix a flat tire. Viewers were left scratching their heads, wondering if MSNBC confused a Trump rally with a Time Traveler’s Convention.

Social media erupted with outrage — and for good reason. Certain commentators flagged this as an irresponsible and dangerous comparison, warning that it could “get someone killed.” A Jewish protestor from the past was resurrected in the narrative to evoke gasp-inducing images of oppression, but all this did was shine a light on how detached MSNBC is from the current reality. It turns out the only thing truly chilling in the Madison Square Garden on Sunday was the weather; inside, the air was filled with unity and enthusiasm from supporters of all backgrounds.
Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, an attendee of Trump’s rally, set the record straight on social media with a healthy dose of truth. She emphasized that the event was focused on love for America and highlighted the diverse crowd that filled the arena, contrary to MSNBC’s twisted portrayal. Many who attended the rally, including Jewish individuals, stood proudly in support of Trump, basking in the positive energy and common purpose embodied by the gathering. They were there for patriotism, not to reenact some twisted history lesson.
Meanwhile, an array of reactions from social media figures and commentators underscored the collective disapproval of MSNBC’s comparison. Critics were quick to call out the network for its propagandistic tactics, declaring it a “sickening lie” and demanding accountability from the mainstream media. Even the usually reserved Elon Musk weighed in, declaring MSNBC “utter scum of the Earth.” Whether it’s individuals like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene advocating for legal action against the network or everyday citizens expressing their frustration, the consensus was clear: MSNBC’s attempt to weaponize history against Trump has blown up in their faces, revealing more about their agenda than about the former president.
In a time when misinformation seems to flood the airwaves, MSNBC’s blunder exemplifies why trust in the media is at an all-time low. The Babylon Bee humorously highlighted the absurdity of the situation with a satirical headline, reminding everyone of how far the mainstream media has drifted from delivering substantive news. People aren’t just looking at this as a gaffe; they see it as a poignant reminder of the media’s ongoing battle to control the narrative, even if it means fabricating realities. With Trump leading a rally where thousands came together across all backgrounds to celebrate a shared vision for America, dismissing that in favor of outdated footage really shows just how scared they are of losing control.
