(CNN) President Trump, please stay away from Phoenix.

Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton put it another way, in a statement ahead of Donald Trump's planned rally in Phoenix on Tuesday: "I am disappointed that President Trump has chosen to hold a campaign rally as our nation is still healing from the tragic events in Charlottesville."

While Stanton noted that the Constitution protects the right to free speech -- and that the Phoenix Convention Center can be rented by anyone -- he hoped Trump would delay his visit.

The mayor is right. There is no good that can come out of President Trump holding one of his typically incendiary rallies so soon after the tragic events in Virginia. His presence in Arizona, which has long been ground zero in the political and culture wars over immigration, runs the risk of inflaming tensions between his supporters and Latinos. He should cancel.
