Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton warned President Trump to delay his trip to Arizona following the violent protest in Charlottesville two weekends ago.
“President Trump’s response to Charlottesville reminds us that the words and actions of our political leaders in the wake of tragic events matter,” Stanton wrote in a Monday op-ed. “America is hurting. And it is hurting largely because Trump has doused racial tensions with gasoline. With his planned visit to Phoenix on Tuesday, I fear the president may be looking to light a match.”
