Former Vice President Mike Pence was called a traitor and booed by several audiences during his speech at a conservative conference in the home state of former President Donald Trump. The incident happened on Friday, in Orlando, Florida.

Despite the heckles, CBS News reported that Pence continued with his speech and discussed the "winning agenda" in a "Faith and Freedom" general session, which will take back the Republican majority in the Congress next midterm elections.

Mike Pence Labeled "Traitor" During Speech at Conservative Conference: Kevin McCarthy Defends the Ex-Vice President

During Pence's speech, the ex-vice president claimed to be a "Christian, a conservative, and a Republican." Pence also claimed that his time as vice president and serving former President Donald Trump was the "greatest" honor of his life.

However, some of the audiences may not be on the same page with the ex-vice president, as some of the people from the crowd heckled and booed Pence while speaking on the stage, USA Today reported. Some attendees called the former vice president a "traitor." Unfazed, Pence continued to deliver his speech and get his message across to those who were listening to him.

Despite the boos and interruption during his speech, Pence also received support, especially from House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy. In an interview, Mail Online reported that McCarthy defended the former vice president, arguing that Pence was "not a traitor."

"He was the vice president, stood right by President Trump, helped him get through the tax reform, get those judges in," said McCarthy, pointing out the political record of the former vice president. "Mike Pence deserves a lot of credit," said the House Republican leader.

It can be remembered that the anguish of Trump supporters to Pence stemmed out when the former vice president allegedly did not do more to prevent the victory of President Joe Biden, even though the vice president does not have the power to overturn the election results.

The anguish of the Trump supporters towards Pence was evident during January 6 Capitol insurrection, making the former vice president among the officials who evacuated the building.

Despite that, Mike Pence continued to praise former President Donald Trump and his administration during his public appearances.

Ex-Vice President Mike Pence During the Conservative Conference

Despite the interruption, Pence continued to address the public during the conservative conference. The former vice president tackled several issues just like the critical race theory, claiming that the "patriotic education" was replaced by "political indoctrination."

"Critical race theory is racism, pure and simple," said Pence, adding that it should be "every American of every race."

"We will demand that government agencies, our military, and our public schools reject critical race theory in all its forms," said the former vice president.

Pence also blasted on Biden administration's handling of the U.S.-Mexico Border, arguing that the current president turned the "most secure" border into the "worst border crisis in American history." Apart from those issues, Mike Pence also slammed Biden, arguing that the president showed "weak leadership," on how he handled the G7 Summit.
