Big protests expected as Trump plans Phoenix rally

Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, a Democrat, asked the Republican president to postpone Tuesday's event scheduled for 7 p.m. MST (0200 GMT on Wednesday) in light of his response to the street battles that broke out earlier this month at a protest against the removal of a Confederate statue in Charlottesville.

Trump was widely criticized for blaming both white nationalists and counter-protesters for the violence at the rally organized by neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

"America is hurting. And it is hurting largely because Trump has doused racial tensions with gasoline," Stanton wrote in the Washington Post. "With his planned visit to Phoenix on Tuesday, I fear the president may be looking to light a match."

" "With his planned visit to Phoenix on Tuesday, I fear the president may be looking to light a match."" I'm sure glad the former (p)resident never fomented any kind of racial animas. Can you imagine if those that didn't care for the lyin' king had had time to protest like this. Guess jobs and responsibility are more of a priority to some folks. Guess we'll see how things play out in Reno on Wed at the American Legion convention.

Democrats pour the gasoline all over people and light the match, and blame someone else when the Democrats throw the match.

Yes. Democrats blame you for not bringing the extinguisher.

Let's see how Antifa reacts to the Secret Service. These aren't Terry McCauliffe's police they'll be dealing with.

Typical fake news approach. Identifying white nationalists as an antoginist but failing to mention that counter-protesters like antifa are largely anacharcists and stalinists who actively seek the demise of the USA.

Hopefully Paul Ryan’s favorite anti-fascist gang, Antifa, will show up, do what they love to do and bump Trump up a few points in the polls.

More likely, it is cover to blame the President for the violence they are instigating.

Liblogic dictates that if DJT would simply NOT appear, there would be no violence. Ergo: Trump’s fault.

The media is fanning the flames of revolution in this country and when it finally happens they are not going to be pleased w/ the outcome.

"No Sides" Paul Ryan will come to regret opening his mouth on that subject before spending even 2 minutes actually looking into the facts of the matter.

It would be a good bet that he has never heard of Antifa - despite it being his favorite. 😎

When will Trump have these groups declared terror groups and slap huge sanctions on Soros?

Not Ryan; Antifa was spawned by the Obama hierarchy to continue their program of disorder and division. They have been highly successful as no one is willing to take them on. They have been given a free pass.

Stanton is a Rat first, Mayor second. The Rats are doing/saying everything possible to enrage Trump haters so they’ll get lots of protesters and hopefully violence——which they will then pin on President Trump.
