After Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence held a town-hall-style event in Tucson, he headed to the the Phoenix area where he told supporters he and Donald Trump will bring no-nonsense leadership to the White House.
Pence spoke for about 25 minutes then took questions Tuesday after his appearance at the Phoenix Convention CenterΒ was delayed because of storms that flooded Phoenix-area streets and led to water rescues.
The Indiana governor also continued to drive home his talking point that a Hillary Clinton presidency would simply be a third term for President Obama.
At one point during the rally, a man began to shout "Donald Trump is a racist." The few hundred supporters booed and drowned out the man's shouts with chants of "USA." Security then escorted the man out.
Metro Phoenix Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer spoke prior to Pence.Β
Arizona Republican Party Chair Robert Graham says Pence had been at a fundraiser in the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley.Β
