- Not only does the media give a platform to hate groups, but the media turns a blind eye to the gang violence on our streets! [0132 EDT]

- #DrainTheSwamp #PhoenixRally [0200 EDT]

- MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! [0301 EDT]

- Phoenix crowd last night was amazing - a packed house. I love the Great State of Arizona. Not a fan of Jeff Flake, weak on crime & border! [0920 EDT]

- Last night in Phoenix I read the things from my statements on Charlottesville that the Fake News Media didn't cover fairly. People got it! [0940 EDT]

- If Republican Senate doesn't get rid of the Filibuster Rule & go to a simple majority, which the Dems would do, they are just wasting time! [0950 EDT]

- As long as we have faith in each other and confidence in our values, then there is no challenge too great for us to conquer! #ALConv2017 [1510 EDT]
