We take a close look at Donald Trump's campaign and racist rally at Madison Square Garden with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an expert on facism and authoritarianism, and filmmaker Marshall Curry.
Ben-Ghiat argues that Trump's use of the hallmarks of "fascism and violence," including dehumanizing rhetoric, profane and crude discriminatory language and threats to the "enemy within," echoes the rise of midcentury fascist rulers like Francisco Franco and Adolf Hitler.
Curry attended the rally and also directed the short film _A Night at the Garden_, about the 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, and notes, "The demagogues in 1939 used the same tactics that we see today."
