Former Dem Slams Clinton, Harris For Nazi Rally Comparisons At Trump Event

 October 27, 2024

Former Democratic politician Dov Hikind has voiced strong disapproval of comparisons made by Hillary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris between a recent Donald Trump rally and historical Nazi gatherings.

At the heart of this controversy is a political rally held by former President Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden on October 27, 2024. The event has sparked notable backlash due to conspiracies spread by Democratic figures like Hillary Clinton. 

Fox News reported that Clinton and Kamala Harris drew parallels between this rally and a Nazi rally held at the same venue in 1939, organized by the German American Bund. This comparison was also echoed by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

However, there is no evidence that Trump is alluding to the 1939 rally as his appearance at Madison Square Garden is dictated by the need for a large venue to accommodate thousands of fans.

Trump believes he has an outside chance of flipping New York in November's election and as such is campaigning in New York to try and drum up more votes and momentum.

Hikind's Reaction to Democratic Criticisms

Dov Hikind, who is a former New York state lawmaker and recently a Republican Party member, responded vehemently to these comparisons. He emphasized the presence of a significant Jewish contingent at Trump’s rally, arguing that such comparisons were not only inappropriate but desperate.

"My God, what the hell is wrong with these people," Hikind expressed in dismay at the comments by Clinton and Harris.

Their claims that Trump is using some sort of dog whistle by having a rally at Madison Square Garden is completely insane. It's also ironic considering how Democrats like Harris and Clinton talk about "right-wing conspiracy theories."

He described their actions as desperate, accusing them of attempting to "destroy America" through divisive rhetoric. Furthermore, Hikind highlighted the strong support for Donald Trump within parts of the Jewish community, particularly those committed to Israeli policies.

The journey of Dov Hikind from a Democratic lawmaker to a Republican supporter has been marked by his dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party's direction.

He criticized the party for being too radical and not welcoming to moderates or conservative voices, particularly noting the party's policies towards Israel as a key point of contention.

Hikind's Decision to Change Parties

"And I've had enough," stated Hikind, elaborating on his decision to leave the Democratic Party. He lamented that the party had turned its back on longstanding allies like Israel, pushed by what he perceives as radical elements within the party. This, he stated, was a significant factor in his decision to align with the Republican Party, a move he described as "delightful."

In conclusion, Dov Hikind’s criticisms shed light on the escalating rhetoric in U.S. politics, where historical comparisons are being employed in political discourse.

This issue not only underscores the polarized nature of American political debate but also highlights concerns among Jewish leaders about the misuse of Holocaust analogies.

As tensions between party lines grow, the impacts of such comparisons continue to stir significant debate and reaction across the political spectrum.
