Heckler escorted from event
WESTLAKE, OH (WOIO) -
Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan was in town on Tuesday.
The U.S. Congressman spoke before a packed house at the Westlake Recreation Center on Hilliard Boulevard.
Shortly after the event started, a heckler was escorted out. The crowd drowned him out by chanting USA.
Some Romney-Ryan supporters are hoping rallies like this will reach into the larger mostly Democratic inner-cities to pull out a few votes.
President's statement on visit
"Strong
sales for all 3 auto makers announced today prove that our auto industry is
coming roaring back in spite of Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan, who
would have let the auto industry wither on the vine along with the 1 in 8 jobs
in Ohio that it supports. So the question remains for Paul
Ryan in Westlake today, surrounded by communities that depend on the strength
of the auto industry: How do you account for all of the Ohio jobs that Mitt
Romney would have lost had we listened to his advice to let the American auto
industry go bankrupt?" – Jessica Kershaw,
Press Secretary, Obama for America - Ohio
