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.

Democrats are cucks of the radical black activists and clearly the white communists called ANTIFA. This is what they think wins! Attacking the first amendment and supporting violent anti American thugs who want to tear down historical monuments.

POTUS condemned both sides. Unlike the left who supports the violent thugs and cop killers.

Mayors...no more useless positions have ever been created. Not one of them ever does their job. Witness the ridiculous Charlottesville mayor, who should have a red-hot spike rammed up his -— for dereliction of duty. It was a simple duty at that.

Most political figures are spineless. I also think many of them and their families are threatened behind the scenes. One possible explanation for the influx of Islamic nutcases.

“He’s going there to Pardon the Sheriff (Joe) and stick it to his enemies.”

Excellent!

Anyone who can, should go to his rally to show support.

Let the heads of enemies explode.

Thank God we have CNN to think for us, so we know which group is racist and which is 'anti-racist'!

Phoenix mayor will be even more disappointed when the rally is bursting at the seams with Trump supporters. MAGA.

Are they really so anti Christian that we can’t recognise people who get caught up in extremist movements might be salvageable. Like Robert Byrd? They are still human and Americans, though probably idiots.

When was the last time these slime ball communists ever changed anything, except to get more and more stupid? I think it will turn hot, but I honestly hope not.

Are they planning to put riot police in place to... protect the rioters? as they did in Charlottesville? I don't trust this mayor, I don't trust the city police chief (hand-selected by Loretta Lynch...which was why she was in Phoenix on the infamous "tarmac meeting" day), and I certainly don't trust the wife-beating, Soros-paid shill of a sheriff.

Everyone, please pray for our president's safety while he is in Arizona.

And CNN actually pretends like they don't understand why they are called "fake news." Antifa and its allied groups were not "anti-racist protestors." This statement in the article is a lie. Antifa is a group that openly encourages and engages in violence and vandalism. Moreover, Trump specifically, and very clearly, stated the people he was calling "fine people" were not members of those groups...it wasn't even ambiguous. This statement in the article is also a lie.

“We are truly at war ... war which will turn “hot” unless things change quickly.”

I really don’t see how it can be avoided, given how the other side has and is constantly being rewarded for their violence. They’re at a point where they feel they have license to do as they wish, and given current events, who can blame them for believing that.

Their motto is “by whatever means necessary” and they have proven to practice that.

So what are the options for our side?

1. continue being polite, law abiding, good citizens and surrender the public spaces and public arena to them and caving to every one of their demands.

Or...

2. Meet force with greater force.

Sadly I don’t see any other options. Do you?
