Trump Tweet Praises Arizona, Slams Sen. Flake

President Donald Trump praised the audience at his Tuesday night rally in Phoenix, Arizona, while also rebuking Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake in a Wednesday morning tweet.

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!

Trump has taken aim at Flake, R-Ariz., before. The senator said Tuesday that he has no concerns about Trump's criticisms. "What the president does, that's his prerogative," Flake said.

The president followed up with a second tweet about his comments on Charlottesville, Virginia.

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!
