Former first lady Melania Trump, who spoke at former President Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, said on Tuesday that her husband is “not Hitler” during a Fox News interview.

Democrats such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., the 2024 vice presidential nominee, have compared the rally to a Nazi rally that took place at the same venue 85 years ago.

“It's terrible. He’s not Hitler, and all of his supporters, [they’re] standing behind him because they want [to] see [the] country successful, and we see how — what kind of support he has,” she said during a "Fox & Friends" segment.

"He loves his country, and he wants to make it successful and to — for all of the people," she added.

Mr. Trump said on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris, his opponent, and other Democrats are bringing up Adolf Hitler and the Nazis now because Harris' record is "terrible."
