‘Traitor!’ Mike Pence Mercilessly Heckled by Trump Supporters at Iowa State Fair
Former Vice President Mike Pence was heckled and jeered during his visit to the Iowa State Fair on Thursday.
Trump supporters could be seen shouting “traitor!” and “you are far from a Christian” to Pence as he was touring the fairgrounds.

Another attendee shouted, “How you holding up after Tucker Carlson ruined your career?” after Pence took his question while delivering remarks.
Pence responded to the heckler by calling the exchange with Tucker “fake news.”

The jab referred to an exchange Pence had with the former Fox News host during the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa last month where the former VP declared the plight of failing American cities was “not my concern.”
This comes just days after Pence, who announced he’s running for president in 2024, was heckled during a campaign stop in New Hampshire as detractors yelled “that’s a traitor!” “you’re a sellout!” and “why didn’t you uphold the Constitution?”
A dozen Trump supporters approached Mike Pence’s vehicle as he entered his Friday event yelling, “that’s a traitor,” “you’re a sellout,” and “why didn’t you uphold the constitution?”
“I upheld the constitution,” Pence shouted back.

“I upheld the constitution!” Pence shouted back, referring to his certification of the rigged 2020 election on January 6, 2021.
Pence is currently polling at 5.5% according to the latest FiveThirtyEight poll and just barely squeaked past the threshold to participate in the upcoming Fox News presidential debate, which requires 1% polling and at least 40,000 unique donors.

Former President and current presidential frontrunner Donald Trump last week accused Pence of turning to “the Dark Side.”
“He’s delusional, and now he wants to show he’s a tough guy. I once read a major magazine article on Mike. It said he was not a very good person. I was surprised, but the article was right. Sad!” he wrote on Truth Social.
Trump, who’s dominating the field by 40 points, indicated he would not participate in Fox’s primary debate.
