Vice Presidential Nominee, Governor Mike Pence will town halls on Tuesday, August 2, in Tucson and Phoenix.
The Tucson event is expected to be small and as a result is scheduled for 2:00 p.m., at the the Fox Theater. Pence will then move on to the Phoenix Convention Center.
On Sunday, Pence went into damage control when he issued a statement defending comments made by his running mate Donald Trump regarding the mother of American hero Captain Humayun Khan.
“Donald Trump and I believe that Captain Humayun Khan is an American hero and his family, like all Gold Star families, should be cherished by every American,” reads Pence’s statement.
“Captain Khan gave his life to defend our country in the global war on terror. Due to the disastrous decisions of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, a once stable Middle East has now been overrun by ISIS. This must not stand,” continued Pence.
“By suspending immigration from countries that have been compromised by terrorism, rebuilding our military, defeating ISIS at its source and projecting strength on the global stage, we will reduce the likelihood that other American families will face the enduring heartbreak of the Khan family.” Pence concluded, “Donald Trump will support our military and their families and we will defeat the enemies of our freedom.”
