Touting a booming economy and the signing of an emergency declaration for Puerto Rico, Vice President Mike Pence rallied a church crowd Thursday in majority Hispanic Osceola County.

The remarks at the “Latinos for Trump” event at the Nacion de Fe church in Kissimmee was one of two campaign events in the I-4 corridor Thursday, highlighting the importance of Florida in President Donald Trump’s re-election bid. Pence also spoke at a church outside Tampa.

Pence’s speech in the heart of the Puerto Rican community in Florida came as Puerto Rico continues to deal with repeated earthquakes, the latest natural disaster for an island that was still recovering from devastation from Hurricane Maria in 2017.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
