Only a handful of Arizona leaders mentioned the protest and deaths in Charlotte on social media.
Surprisingly, Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego found common ground with Sen. Ted Cruz who called on the Justice Department to investigate James Alex Fields Jr., a 20-year-old from Ohio, who was charged with second-degree murder after he drove his car through protesters.
First and maybe last time you will hear this from me. I agree with @SenatorCruz_ https://t.co/Tpy0GhpC63

This is disgusting and not reflective of our great nation. Americans, let us unite against hate and hatefulness. https://t.co/M4f5FermZr

It cannot be tolerated. I join my colleagues in denouncing and condemning the actions of these protestors.

The #WhiteSupremacy in #Charlottesville does not reflect the values of the America I know. Hate and bigotry have no place in this country.

NEW: @SenTedCruz calls for DOJ investigation into #Charlottesville. Calls it “domestic terrorism.” Cites “moral obligation” to speak out. pic.twitter.com/ecrK9A0ssW

We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!
