President Donald Trump on Tuesday lambasted his critics in a 77-minute speech at a rally in Phoenix, as protesters gathered outside.
He attacked Arizona’s two Republican senators, though he didn’t directly name either of them, and fired back at the widespread criticism of his remarks on the clashes in Charlottesville, Va. Trump also hinted that he plans to pardon former Sheriff Joe Arpaio and threatened to shut down the government over funding for a Mexican border wall.
Trump tweeted about the rally Wednesday morning, calling the crowd “amazing.”
