PHOENIX — Mayor Greg Stanton has asked President Donald Trump to delay a campaign rally in Phoenix after an outbreak of violence at a Virginia white supremacist protest over the weekend.
“I am disappointed that President Trump has chosen to hold a campaign rally as our nation is still healing from the tragic events in Charlottesville,” Stanton said in a Wednesday statement.
“It is my hope that more sound judgment prevails and that he delays his visit.”
Trump’s re-election campaign announced early Wednesday that it had booked the Phoenix Convention Center on Aug. 22 for a rally.
