Eugene Robinson: It’s ‘Necessary and Inevitable to Compare [MSG] Rally to the Nazi Rally’

EXCERPT:

ROBINSON: "Yeah, they get deaf, don't they? They get selectively deaf. They didn’t hear what was said for six hours at that rally. It was — what an amazing and frightening and awful spectacle that was. Of course, the comic was terrible, but, as Claire said, the whole thing, the vice president of the United States was called the Antichrist, another speaker said that Democrats needed to be slaughtered. It was absolutely beyond the pale. Yet, that’s where we are now. So it is not only justified, but necessary and inevitable to compare that rally to the Nazi rally that was held there before World War II. That should never be appropriate or necessary in American politics, and yet it is. It is. This is where Donald Trump and the MAGA movement have brought us. They brought us to this terrible place where — and now are seeking license to take us even further into this dark realm for four more years. It’s frightening. It should be frightening to anyone who loves this country and the essence and idea of this country."
