Vice President-elect Mike Pence's appearance at a Republican fund-raiser in downtown Chicago drew about 150 protesters who chanted "Mike Pence go away!"
The Indiana governor spoke at a luncheon Friday to raise money for the Republican National Committee. Protesters from several groups gathered outside.
Tickets for the fund-raiser started at $2,700 per person. Among those listed on an invitation as members of the host committee were Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, state GOP chairman Tim Schneider and the Republican members of Illinois' congressional delegation.
Photos of the event posted Friday on Pence's Twitter account show about 70 people seated around a rectangle of tables at the Chicago Club. The tweet says, "Appreciate the encouragement & support of many Chicago business and community leaders of the inauguration of President @realDonaldTrump."
