CARSON CITY, NEV. — Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence defended a military mom's right to criticize Donald Trump's comments about the Muslim parents of a slain U.S. Army veteran during a campaign stop in Nevada, and then lashed out at the media's coverage of the controversy at the next.



Pence quieted a crowd that was booing a woman who asked Pence at a town hall meeting in Carson City on Monday how he could tolerate Trump's disrespect for American servicemen.
