Mike Pence was branded a traitor and asked how his life had changed “since Tucker Carlson ruined your career?”
Mike Pence was repeatedly heckled by Donald Trump supporters at the Iowa State Fair on Thursday, with one woman branding him a traitor and not a Christian.
A flurry of Republican presidential candidates have either attended or will attend the ongoing state fair in Des Moines, including former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The two early frontrunners for the GOP presidential nomination are scheduled to speak on Saturday.
Pence has become something of a hate figure for a section of Trump’s base. They are furious with the former vice-president for refusing to back the then-president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election outcome. When hundreds of Trump supporters stormed Congress on January 6, 2021, in an effort to stop the election result being certified, some chanted the phrase “hang Mike Pence” as they clashed with law enforcement.
At one point in Iowa, Pence and his entourage were greeted by a small group wearing ‘Team Trump’ T-shirts as he arrived for a radio interview.
