Hillary Clinton to make campaign stop in Milwaukee Thursday evening

MILWAUKEE -- Hillary Clinton will be in Milwaukee on Thursday, September 10th for a "Women for Hillary" grassroots organizing meeting at UW-Milwaukee, her campaign says.

In a statement issued to FOX6 News, campaign officials said this about the event:

Members of the public interested in attending Thursday's event can sign up here.

Doors open at 4:00 p.m., and the program will begin at 5:30 p.m. at UWM's Spaights Plaza.



In advance of Hillary Clinton's visit to Milwaukee, the Republican National Committee issued this statement:

Additionally, Republican Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch is criticizing Hillary Clinton as someone who can't be trusted ahead of the Democratic presidential candidate's first visit to Wisconsin since announcing her 2016 campaign.

Speaking in suburban Milwaukee Thursday morning, Kleefisch said Clinton was "a name from the past" and cast Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a GOP presidential candidate, as the future.

Kleefisch renewed GOP criticism against the former secretary of state over the deadly 2012 terror attacks on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.

She also pounced on Clinton's use of a non-government email server to conduct government business, calling Clinton's recent explanations "silly excuses."

Clinton's campaign didn't immediately return messages seeking comment on Kleefisch's remarks. Clinton has said it was a mistake to use personal email to conduct some government business.
