Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton has criticised President Donald Trump by saying that the President continues to divide the country.
The Mayor was commenting on Trump's speech in Phoenix rally on Tuesday.
Citing Stanton's interview to MSNBC, CNN quoted Mayor as saying that "Trump's speech was 'unfortunate' and "it wasn't the right time for a campaign rally here".
"It's very unfortunate what occurred last night with regard to the President's speech. The President failed to show real moral leadership after (the Charlottesville protests). His words tended to divide the country, not unite the country."
"Unfortunately, the President last night gave a speech that did continue to divide this country. He did nothing to unite this country," CNN reported Stanton as saying.
GOP Arizona Treasurer Jeff DeWit, who's considering challenging GOP Sen. Jeff Flake for his seat, felt differently about Trump's visit.
He told Fox News on Wednesday that the media has been unfair to Trump, especially after the Charlottesville, Virginia, protests.
"The media is treating President Trump very unfairly," he said. "But the one thing he has that I think drives the media crazy is he has Twitter and also the big rallies."
On Wednesday, Trump tweeted about the rally, "Phoenix crowd last night was amazing - a packed house. I love the Great State of Arizona.
