5:07Now PlayingIn a campaign rally in Phoenix on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump repeatedly defended his response to the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville as thousands of protesters who had gathered outside were attacked by police with tear gas and pepper balls. During his speech, Trump blasted the corporate media and also threatened a government shutdown if he didn’t get Congressional approval to build a wall along the southern border. For more we speak with Francisca Porchas, organizing director of Puente Arizona, a grassroots human rights movement for migrant justice. Puente Arizona helped organize the main protest against Trump’s visit to Phoenix on Tuesday evening.
