My First Trump Rally Was One Of His Last, And It Lived Up To The Hype

Despite their pro-democracy rhetoric, Democrats have worked tirelessly in recent months to rob Americans of a choice in this election and to silence Kamala Harris' opponent.
Democrats and their fellow travelers have, for instance, attempted to remove President Donald Trump from the ballot; threatened to disqualify Trump should he win the election; demanded that the media adopt a "consistent narrative" against him; and engaged in lawfare in hopes of landing the Republican in jail. A pair of Democratic donors allegedly even tried assassinating Harris' opponent, which nearly 3 in 10 Democrats polled apparently thought was worth the try.
New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, a champion of keeping boys in girls' sports, further evidenced his party's hostility toward political freedom and the democratic process Wednesday, issuing a demand that Madison Square Garden cancel Trump's upcoming rally, equating the campaign event to a Nazi rally — and thereby smearing roughly half the electorate.
"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," Hoylman-Sigal wrote on X. "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."
'President Trump has faced two assassination attempts due to this type of unhinged language.'
Blaze News senior editor and Washington correspondent Christopher Bedford noted, "A better comparison might have been Young Americans for Freedom's 1962 Madison Square Garden Rally, when those teenagers organized well over 18,000 attendees (and more outside) for a rally against global communism."
"New York liberals were shocked then how many of the kids rejected their tired ideas, but guys like Hoylman-Sigal don't actually know any history so they just prove their own intolerant bigotries by calling for anyone who opposes their own tired ideas to be shut down," added Bedford.
Hoylman-Sigal insinuated further that on the basis of imagined threats that it was necessary to compel a private institution to cancel a contract, thereby aiding the state in running roughshod over Americans' freedom of association and the freedom of speech.
"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," continued the Harris booster. "For the good of NYC and its residents, I demand @TheGarden keep our city safe by cancelling the Trump rally."
Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, told the New York Post, "This is the same type of dangerous rhetoric that led to two assassination attempts on President Trump's life and has divided our country."
"This no-name New York State Senator should resign in disgrace over this egregious comment," continued Leavitt. "Meanwhile, President Trump will pack the house at Madison Square Garden on his nationwide tour to Make America Great Again."
New Yorkers expressed great displeasure with Hoylman-Sigal over his attempt to shut down an event and effectively silence opposition to the ruling party.
"This is a disgrace. If you had a shred of dignity you would remove this post and immediately apologize," tweeted the New York GOP. "Every elected Democrat should be asked on the record if they agree with this statement."
'This type of hateful, condescending speech from wealthy liberals in Manhattan is exactly why the silent majority will deliver a victory for [Donald Trump] on November 5th.'
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) wrote, "Kathy Hochul, Hakeem Jeffries, and the New York Democrat Party must immediately denounce this dangerous and unhinged rhetoric from this radical Leftist who has also been inexcusably silent when it comes to condemning antisemitism. President Trump has faced two assassination attempts due to this type of unhinged language."
Some critics noted that while Hoylman-Sigal is supposedly concerned about public safety and the good of New York residents, he was relatively silent in previous months when his fellow travelers were engaged in pro-Hamas and anti-Israeli demonstrations.
"What a terribly disgusting thing to say ... and by the way it's members of YOUR party who are running around our city with Hamas and Hezbollah flags, terrorizing Jews on college campuses," wrote Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.).
Robert Holden, New York City Council member for the 30th district, noted, "We've got actual Nazis shutting down our streets, covering their faces, yelling antisemitic slurs, even chasing & assaulting Jews, but a lawful, organized political rally, working with law enforcement, is a 'Nazi rally'? This is reckless & dangerous rhetoric from an elected [official]."
Even some of Hoylman-Sigal's peers in the New York Senate thought his remarks were beyond the pale.
New York state Sen. Rob Ortt, for instance, responded with three tweets of his own, writing, "Referring to a peaceful rally for the leading candidate for President of the United States as a 'Nazi Rally' is not only a disgusting comparison, it is a gross escalation of the dangerous rhetoric in the wake of two direct attempts on President Donald Trump's life."
"It is especially rich coming from someone who couldn’t find the courage to call out actual anti-Semites terrorizing college campuses and Jewish students in his district. This is the first time I recall Senator Hoylman Sigal expressing any concern for public safety," continued Ortt. "This type of hateful, condescending speech from wealthy liberals in Manhattan is exactly why the silent majority will deliver a victory for [Donald Trump] on November 5th."
Hoylman-Sigal issued his demand just days after Trump joined Jewish Americans in New York City to commemorate the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel.

Defiant Trump Returns To Site Of First Assassination Attempt To Honor Fallen Father And Rally Resilient Supporters
Rally attendees told The Federalist they wanted to show strength to Trump and the country in the face of political violence.
The REAL conspiracy theorists: Crazed leftists CAN’T admit Trump was hit by a bullet!
After the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, leftists are showing their true colors — that they might have been the real conspiracy theorists all along.
To kick off one of these shiny new conspiracies, FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested in his congressional testimony that Trump may have been hit with a glass shard, not a bullet.
“I guess from Kamala’s glass ceiling that she broke or, you know, maybe it was shrapnel,” Glenn Beck says sarcastically, adding, “It was a bullet.”
“It is so insane how these conspiracy theories come from the left, and they just expand and expand and expand on them,” he says.
2024 communications director for Donald Trump, Caroline Sunshine, wholeheartedly agrees.
“We don’t have time to be wasting hearing Christopher Wray go through the semantics of ‘was it shrapnel, was it a bullet.’ It was an assassination attempt on a former U.S. president’s life,” she says.
Not only has Trump been examined by his esteemed physician who concluded that he had a bullet wound, but people like Wray seem to forget Corey Comperatore lost his own life to a bullet that day.
“His wife is left without a husband, his children are left without a father. We had multiple people injured and we’re wasting time on shrapnel versus bullet,” she adds.

WATCH: FBI whistleblower exposes corruption at shady agency in NEW interview
It’s been over two weeks since Trump’s near assassination, and we still don’t know how a 20-year-old with no military or law enforcement background was able to weasel his way around the Secret Service.
According to Steve Friend, a former FBI agent who’s now come forth as a whistleblower, the FBI won't produce a result in its Trump Assassination Attempt Probe because that's not the goal of the bureau.
“The FBI loves to hide behind ‘we can't reveal sources and methods,’ ‘it's an ongoing investigation,’ ‘we're just going to drag this out as long as we possibly can until people either lose interest or there's something else that we can get our hooks into that's going to do better for us in the headlines,”’ he tells Jill Savage and the “Blaze News Tonight” panel.
FBI Whistleblower EXPOSES Corruption at Shady Agency in NEW Interviewwww.youtube.com
“I don't have any confidence in them to actually carry forward an honest and forthright investigation of any kind because they've demonstrated themselves to be just a politically partisan organization, particularly as it pertains to Donald Trump,” he continues.
“Director Wray's testimony yesterday ... appeared to be more forthright than he's been in any previous congressional hearings,” says investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent Steve Baker. “Did you get that impression, or do you see something else?”
Friend speculates that Wray’s increase in candor is likely due to the fact that the Secret Service is under fire this time rather than the FBI.
“I think there's a lot of attention really being thrown at the Secret Service at this point. I think he, at that point, gave a little bit of an exhale,” he explains. “By and large, Christopher Wray has just done the exact same thing all the time, and I think it's derivative of one, he's a politically partisan guy, but secondly, he's not an outcomes guy.”
The American people “want to see an effective investigation actually transpire, where we get all the answers. [Wray] doesn't see that as success; he's about the process — process itself is success.”
“How do you describe Christopher Wray?” asks Jill.
Wray “made $9.2 million a year before he was brought in as the FBI director, and he gave that up for a $200,000 a year job for a 10-year appointment where he'd have to live apart from his family,” Friend says. “That's what his sacrifice was for — ‘the cause’ — and the cause was bringing cultural Marxism to its full fruition within the FBI.”
“You can see it in the hiring standards. ... They're bringing in people, at this point, who are 50 pounds overweight describing themselves as woke, and then most recently, you had somebody hired by the Washington field office who is an actual heroin addict,” he explains.
“Do you think this is a lost cause at this point?” asks Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson.
“Well, the agency itself, I think, is a lost cause because the reforms that are necessary to bring it back from the brink are so drastic,” such as “[reducing] its footprint from a headquarter standpoint,” “[getting] rid of the intelligence branch entirely,” “[getting] back to actually doing criminal investigations” and “not [concerning] themselves with intelligence gathering on the American people,” says Friend.
But there’s one simple thing that the federal government could do to make the FBI effective again: “take the guns away.”
“The origin of the FBI was an unarmed investigative agency,” Friend explains. “It can return to that, and it can do what Christopher Wray says that it is always intending to do and that is aid local law enforcement.”
