On Wednesday, July 27, the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department was requested by the Secret Service to assist with a security detail at the Waukesha County Expo for a rally for Vice President candidate Mike Pence.

The Indiana governor and Trump’s running mate said at a Wednesday campaign stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that the two are “a bit different in style”.
In the past, the Trump general admission policy has been this: “No posters, banners, or signs may be brought into the event”.
“I want to know what you and Donald Trump are going to do to save social security”, asked one man.
“Our party and this movement didn’t put forward a talker, but a doer”, Pence said. Hewitt noted that the ban is seen by many as an “unnecessary diversion”, but Pence insisted he was looking into it.
“I joined this campaign in a heartbeat”, Pence said. “Now, law enforcement officers, in collusion with private security officials, subjected a reporter to bullying treatment that no ordinary citizen has to endure”.
When DelReal then tried to enter through the general admission gate, he said he was stopped by an unidentified security official who told him that he couldn’t attend with his laptop and cellphone.
The Post said Pence’s campaign “expressed embarrassment and regret about the episode, which an official blamed on overzealous campaign volunteers”. The harassment of an independent press isn’t coming to an end.
“He’s got that calm confidence about him, really spoke to some of the experience that he has and his leadership from the congressional level and also his gubernatorial experience, he’s a great value to add to the ticket”, Michigan Republican Party Sarah Anderson said. “Mike Pence is visiting one of these small OH towns today and is really echoing the divisive words of Donald Trump, but it’s clear to me that they have no plans to help lift communities in OH like Chillicothe and Lima”.
Trump said in June that he was pulling the Post’s credentials to cover his campaign events because he was unhappy with the newspaper’s coverage. “There would be very serious consequences to having him as Vice President, especially in a presidency like what Donald Trump has in mind”.
Press organizations and websites on Trump’s blacklist include the Post, Buzzfeed, the Huffington Post, Politico, the Des Moines Register, the New Hampshire Union-Leader, BuzzFeed, the Daily Beast, National Review, Mother Jones, Univision and Fusion.

Pence said the American people are exhausted of candidates that make promises but never deliver on them, and that Trump is the candidate that is billed to deliver. Interruptions, however, are fairly common at Trump rallies.
