Trump faced bipartisan backlash for his comments in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville.

During a press conference last week, Trump said there is "blame on both sides" for the deadly violence.

Trump then defended his response to the violence in Charlottesville during a rally in Phoenix late Tuesday. He argued he was misrepresented by the media and that he had clearly condemned the far right.

During his town hall, Sanders also made clear he does not want to see Trump in office for another four years and does not want Republicans to control of the House and Senate.

"I want Democrats to open the door," Sanders said.

"I want Democrats to be the party not of corporate interests, but of the working class.”
