Former president Donald Trump lashed out Monday at the Harris campaign’s attempts to paint him as a fascist, forcefully rejecting Nazi comparisons during a heated Atlanta rally.

“The newest line from Kamala and her campaign is that everyone who isn’t voting for her is a Nazi,” Trump told the roaring crowd. “I’m not a Nazi. I’m the opposite of a Nazi.”

The Nazi comparisons have intensified since Trump packed Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, where speakers faced backlash for racist rhetoric and slurs. Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz seized on the controversy, telling supporters in Henderson, Nevada, that the rally mirrored a Nazi gathering held at the venue 85 years ago.

“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there. So, look, we said we’re all running like everything’s on the line because it is.”

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went further, declaring on CNN that Trump was “actually reenacting” the Madison Square Garden Nazi rally in 1939.

“Sadly, here in America, the term fits,” clinton continued. “President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo-Nazis, fascists in America, were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany.”

With mounting pressure in the campaign’s final stretch, Trump faces fresh criticism from former top advisers questioning his fitness for office. The latest blow came from his ex-chief of staff John Kelly, who told The Atlantic that Trump “openly admired Hitler’s generals.” This follows retired Gen. Mark A. Milley’s stark assessment in Bob Woodward’s new book, where he branded Trump a “fascist to the core.”

Despite the former president’s strong record on Israel and having a daughter who converted to Judaism, Trump’s relationship with Jewish voters remains fraught. At a recent Israeli American event, he raised eyebrows by suggesting that “if I don’t win this election, then the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss.”
