"A great leader:" Mike Pence touts Donald Trump during campaign stop in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE -- It was a rousing visit from Donald Trump's running mate in Milwaukee Thursday evening, August 11th. Indiana Governor Mike Pence held a rally at the Hilton downtown.

Pence attacked Hillary Clinton and the media in front of a few hundred supporters and a handful of protesters.

The event was Pence's fourth in Wisconsin, and comes one day after the Marquette Law School poll showed Clinton surging to a 15 point lead.

"When he does his talking, he doesn't go tiptoeing around the thousands of rules of political correctness. He tells it like it is, and the American people hear him loud and clear," said Pence.

Pence spoke to a mostly-full room in Milwaukee. Governor Scott Walker introduced him to the crowd.

Last week, Walker skipped Donald Trump's rally in Green Bay -- and he's been far more vocal about his support of Pence than Trump.

"He is a leader who's going to be a great leader not just for Indiana, but come this January, he is going to join the team that helps turn America around again, and make America great again," said Pence.

Pence's speech was interrupted three times by protesters. Police led them all out the door within seconds.

Pence acknowledged neither the protesters nor those who chanted "lock her up," as Pence hammered Hillary Clinton over her email scandal and reports that she may have used her State Department position to benefit her donors.

"Let's leave here and not rest and not relent until we make Donald Trump the 45th president of the United States of America. We will make America great again," Pence said.

The protesters at Pence's rally were from the liberal group Voces de la Frontera. A representative says there were five protesters in all. According to that representative, they all are home tonight and no one was arrested.
