President Donald Trump addressed a crowd in Phoenix, Ariz., in a campaign style rally Tuesday night, where he continued to condemn any form of racism and violence and criticized the media for their coverage of his statements on the subject.
During his first trip to Arizona as president, Trump ripped the media for their recent coverage of his statements concerning the violence that occurred during white nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Va.
“What happened in Charlottesville strikes at the core of America. And tonight, this entire arena stands united against the thugs who perpetrate hatred and violence,” Trump told the crowd at the Phoenix Convention Center.
“I strongly condemn neo-Nazis, white Supremacists and the KKK,” he added.
