Apple’s Safari web browser and the company’s Siri digital assistant recommend a Wikipedia article about the infamous 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden when searching for information about President Trump’s upcoming event at the same location .

The research suggestion was first noted by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and was later confirmed by the New York Sun.

When a user types “Madison Square Garden Trump” into the Safari search bar, a link to a Wikipedia article about the 1939 Nazi rally is the first recommended link provided under “Siri Suggestions.” Apple describes Siri Suggestion as an artificial intelligence tool used to direct users to related information.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ms. Stefanik, who is the fourth-highest ranking Republican in the House, harshly criticized Apple and Safari for the apparent outcome in a statement released Thursday.

“The Big Tech disinformation machine pushes dangerous propaganda that endangers American patriots and President Trump,” writes Ms. Stefanik. “This is yet another example of the unbalanced rhetoric that led to two assassination attempts against President Trump. »

A Democratic senator who represents the Garden, Brad Hoylman-Sigal, first compared the Trump event – ​​scheduled for October 27 – to the 1939 Nazi rally.

“Let’s be clear. Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939,” Mr. Hoylman-Sigal wrote on X on Wednesday. “This is a disastrous decision by Madison Square Garden that will endanger the public safety of New Yorkers and risks inciting widespread violence.

“For the sake of New York and its residents, I demand that @TheGarden keep our city safe by canceling the Trump rally,” the state senator wrote.

A prominent liberal commentator, Michael Beschloss, also made a not-so-subtle remark about the Trump event on has been confirmed.

The 1939 rally was one of the largest gatherings of fascists in American history, with 20,000 people attending the event in the heart of the nation’s largest city. Mayor LaGuardia had to deploy more than 1,700 uniformed officers to patrol outside the Garden, along with hundreds of additional detectives and undercover agents. The event was billed as a “pro-American” event to mark President Washington’s birthday, but the rally was ultimately a call for America to support Adolf Hitler in his genocidal war efforts. .
