On February 20, 1939, right-wing American Christian Nationalists rented Madison Square Garden to hold a massive pro-Fascist, white supremacy rally. It was a sold-out crowd of 20,000 patriotic Americans, complete with flags, our National Anthem, and a 50-foot portrait of George Washington hanging from the rafters. World War II would start in 6 months, but the crowd ate up the racism, the attacks on the press and the hatred toward the Jews. Applause! Laughter! God Bless America!
