“At a time when more than seven out of 10 American’s believe our country is on the wrong track, we have a president who stand up and says that we’re already great”, Pence said. “You have to go, ‘” DelReal told the Post.
A journalist was just trying to do his job and report on trending political news when he was declined access into a Mike Pence rally in Milwaukee. Our sister station in Green Bay had the chance to speak with Pence and asked what he hopes his campaign will deliver.

The harassment of an independent press isn’t coming to an end.
In a statement, Pence spokesman Marc Lotter said: “Our events are open to everyone and we are looking into the alleged incident”.
The Post said Pence’s staff apologized for that treatment, with an unnamed official blaming the episode on “overzealous campaign volunteers”.

“This is not our policy”, the official told the Post.
