In her latest jab at former President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton is reaching deep into the archives, claiming that Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden this Sunday will “reenact” an infamous 1939 Nazi event held in the same venue. Yes, you read that right.

In a CNN interview with Kaitlan Collins, Clinton accused Trump’s rally of echoing the American Nazi Party gathering nearly 85 years ago, where extremists gathered to express sympathies with Hitler’s Germany.

“One other thing that you’ll see next week, Kaitlin, is Trump actually reenacting the [Nazi] Madison Square Garden rally in 1939,” Clinton said, reaching so far that even viewers had to do a double-take. “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.”

Not stopping there, Clinton found backup from fellow Democrats, including State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, who piled on by calling Trump’s event “not terribly dissimilar from that infamous rally back in 1939 at Madison Square Garden that was sponsored by the American Nazi Party.” As if one could even compare 1930s German sympathizers to today’s supporters of a former U.S. president in a blue stronghold like New York.

Despite the rhetoric, Trump’s event is likely just another rally to energize his base in New York, potentially attracting donations and publicity. Even New York Governor Kathy Hochul, though likely not a Trump fan herself, is taking a decidedly more level-headed view of the event. “This is America, so people can have rallies, and it’s their right to gather,” Hochul said, noting that law enforcement is prepared to handle the event if necessary, with the NYPD’s 30,000 officers and her own backup of 6,000 state police ready to assist.
