    “Madison Square Garden” is literally just a name. It’s had two overhaul iterations since that nazi rally. It’s owned by some family empire. So don’t be ridiculous and pretend that It’s a public forum. It’s a place where boxers beat each other half to death for huge payouts.

    From the article: New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, D-Manhattan, denounced the former president’s planned rally on social media on Wednesday: “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.” He encouraged MSG to cancel the event.

    I disagree and think the event should carry on. Trying to stop him from giving a speech, just because you don’t like him seems lame and pretty undemocratic.

    I don’t care that much tho, since I’m not voting for him, but watching people trying to stop him from talking is hilarious to me. Plus it only drives his fans into supporting him even more.

      Madison Square Garden is a private event venue. They can accept or deny anybody they like. Their acceptance, or rejection, of a political candidate will also have nothing-to-fucking-do with “democracy” or free speech.

        I wonder if they’ve been paid in full? If not they’re even dumber for hosting this garbage.

        Of course, but I was talking about the Senator’s remarks regarding the democracy comment. I think it’s bad form for a Senator to say someone shouldn’t speak somewhere. But hey, I don’t care that much one way or the other.
