Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence says voters are exhausted by the Clinton family’s behavior and its impact on American politics.

“The truth of the matter is millions of Americans have had enough,” Pence, the governor of Indiana, told listeners during a rally in Maitland, Fla., late Monday evening.

“For their decades of self-dealing, their conflicts of interest, their pay-to-play politics of personal enrichment, we must decide here and now in the great state of Florida Hillary Clinton will never be elected president.”

Pence praised the FBI for announcing it will review new emails in its probe into the private email server Clinton used during her time as secretary of State.

“Truth is a force of nature,” he said of the agency’s probe into the Democratic presidential nominee. “No one is above the law in the United States of America.

“Donald Trump and I, we commend the FBI for reopening this case,” Pence added of his running mate. “We’re confident this investigation will be handled in a timely and professional manner.”

Pence additionally said Trump would flush corruption from Washington, D.C., should he claim victory on Election Day.

“It’s the kind of politics that will come to a crashing halt when Donald Trump becomes president,” he said of the Clintons. “His only special interest will be you. This election is about a lot of bigger things than their small ethics.

“It’s about our security, our prosperity and the Supreme Court of the United States of America. We’re going to pass ethics reform that gives us government as good as our people. We’re going to drain the swamp.”

FBI Director James Comey sent Congress a letter Friday alerting it that his agency is probing new emails that may prove relevant to its investigation of Clinton’s server and whether Clinton mishandled classified information..

Comey said the FBI discovered the messages during a separate investigation of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), the estranged husband of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

Clinton earlier Monday, meanwhile, dismissed the FBI’s latest round of scrutiny toward her, insisting “there is no case here.”
