Phoenix mayor 'disappointed' Trump plans to hold rally in Arizona

Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said he is "disappointed" that President Donald Trump plans to hold a campaign rally in Arizona during the national turmoil following the events in Charlottesville over the weekend.

Trump is planning a campaign-style rally in Arizona next week, amid an uproar sparked by his ambivalent response to white supremacists and the death of an anti-racist protester in the Charlottesville violence.

The President host supporters in Phoenix next Tuesday, one week after he reiterated his claim that anti-racist protesters were as violent as Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi protesters in Charlottesville and that the "alt-right" groups included some "very fine" people.

The Mayor of the city which can best be described as Plan B, i.e. why else would anyone want to live in the middle of the effing desert, is the real disappointment.

Hopefully the Democrat Mayor will not prevent law enforcement from doing their job!

I imagine that Mr. “Mayor” is pissing in his pants knowing that a visit by President Trump will be drawing in antifa and BLM fascist thugs. Deal with it Mr. “Mayor”. Try to do a better job than that moron mayor in Charlottesville.

Of course Antifa will be there and attacking, and our Sewer Press will claim it is justified.

ANTIFA had better be careful in AZ because it is constitutional carry here - anyone who is not a felon can be packing a pistol concealed carry. If a leftist goon wearing a black bicycle helmet tried to hit someone with a baseball bat his commie body is likely to get ventilated with bullets.

>> anti-racist protesters

That would be violent thugs disregarding the 1st Amendment.

You’re a lying POS, Tom LoBianco.

They forget that many Americans are armed.

Note to the city PD: The Nurenburg defense is an oxymoron.

He should announce the pardon of Sheriff Arpaio at that time.

Possible options...

Let the Marxists overplay their hand and have it boomerang on them.

Concentrate on electing Americans with a spine to Congress next year.

Tough. Obama campaigned in Vegas hours after the 911 attack in Benghazi

Just a guess, but venue may be Joe’s pardoning party.

This means leftists are planning to be violent. They have the people in place, they have the lines of attack, they’ve gathered the weapons, and they probably have tickets.

I get the feeling Greg Stanton would prefer that the President spend his time wallowing in some sort of guilt, and sit in a circle of people holding hands and singing Kumbaya, instead.

Hope he uses the opportunity to endorse Kelli Ward and pardon Sheriff Joe.

Doubt I will be able to make it as I'm coming off a stint implant and am still wearing a defibrillator. Not really up for massive lines in the August heat. (January/February is actually rally season here.) For those who do plan to attend and to greet antifa, just remember concealed means concealed - until it doesn't.

J.D. Hayworth was on Fox &Friends earlier and said that the mayor has higher political aspirations and was just trying to get some publicity.

President Trump sent out a tweet this a.m. that was rather anti Flake - would not surprise me if Kelli Ward was at the rally
