Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence on Thursday offered rare praise for Hillary Clinton, saying both the Democratic presidential nominee and Donald Trump have "many admirable qualities" for young people to look up to.
Asked whether Donald Trump is a role model for children, Pence answered, "I frankly think both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have many admirable qualities that young people can look up to."
Pence, the Indiana governor and former congressman praised the Republican businessman's resilience and called him a "strong leader." He then quickly added a nod to the opposition: "And I want to recognize Hillary Clinton as the first woman to be major party nominee in American history," he said.
