A New York state senator is demanding a rally for former President Donald Trump be canceled, going so far as to liken it to an “infamous” gathering from 1939.
Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal took to X to express his frustration with Trump holding a campaign event at Madison Square Garden, which happens to fall in his district.
“I’ve confirmed with @TheGarden that they signed an agreement with Trump to hold a rally on October 27 at 3 pm at MSG, which is in my Senate district,” he wrote. “Let’s be clear. Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939.”

Let’s be clear. Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939 2/3

“This is a disastrous decision by Madison Square Garden that will endanger the public safety of New Yorkers and has the potential to incite widespread violence,” he continued. “For the good of NYC and its residents, I demand @TheGarden keep our city safe by cancelling the Trump rally.”
Despite receiving a small measure of support on X, most of the comments disagreed with the senator:

Do you wear your defund the police blindfold when violent Hamasnicks are on our streets day and night actually committing violence and waiving Hezbollah flags?

I assume you will try to get this cancelled in order to protect Democracy/One Party System?

Is this a parody?
I detest Trump, but this is pathetic of you.

I don’t like left wing fascism either, and I think you shouldn’t have a place in American politics.

How dare you throw around Nazi comparisons while you’re the one trying to block a popular presidential candidate from speaking before elections.
You are the blight on the Republic. You’re the one soliciting assassination and terrorism. Your language invites aunty fascist thugs…

Look at you trying to rally up the crazies. How do you sleep at night?

You don’t represent me. As a New Yorker, I have the right to attend to any rally of my choosing. I am sure that there are plenty of New Yorkers who agree with me. You are deranged, and in need of psychiatric treatment.
