The Trump campaign issued a statement in response to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's accusation that former President Trump's planned event at Madison Square Garden resembled a Nazi rally. The campaign's national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, criticized Clinton for her remarks, pointing out that she herself had held events at Madison Square Garden in the past.
Leavitt highlighted Clinton's alleged hypocrisy, mentioning that both Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had been involved in events at the venue. The statement also condemned Clinton's rhetoric about half of the country as 'disgusting.'
The Trump rally at Madison Square Garden is scheduled for October 27, just days before the upcoming Election Day. The event is expected to operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with campaign officials anticipating a significant turnout.
A campaign source mentioned that the decision to hold the event at Madison Square Garden was due to the high level of interest in attending campaign events. The source likened the event to popular music festivals like Coachella, indicating that the campaign was responding to the demand for larger venues to accommodate attendees.
