House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy has defended Mike Pence after the former Vice President was booed and called a 'traitor' at a Faith & Freedom Coalition event in Orlando Friday.

McCarthy appeared on Fox News on Friday evening and defended Pence after he was heckled by the crowd at the 'Road to Majority'-themed event.

'It is great to be back with so many patriots. Dedicated to faith and freedom and the road to the majority,' Pence had said.

As he began thanking Ralph Reed, the head of the Faith & Freedom coalition, he was met with boos and people loudly shouting 'traitor!'

But speaking to Fox's Brian Kilmeade, McCarthy said: 'Mike Pence is not a traitor'.

Many supporters of former President Donald Trump have turned on Pence after he refused to overturn Joe Biden's election victory on January 6

This is coming from the guy who tried to persuade President Trump to concede victory to Biden the next day after the election.

Kevin...you are a wimp. Get lost.

[rdl6989]

Coming from McCarthy...

[LIConFem]

He’s an asshat swamp creature, but not a traitor. Just like McCarthy.

In truth, he is a traitor for blaming Trump for 1/6.

[JudyinCanada]

Do traitors recognize traitors when they see them? I don’t think so.

Kevin McCarthy: Did Frank Luntz your Butt Buddy tell you to say that???

[aspasia]

McCarthy, from the same crowd. They never speak for you.

[JonPreston]

The new feminized GOP protects their own and that’s why I despise them.

[Alberta's Child]

This guy is a dope and I wish he’d just go away, but he’s right. Anyone who thinks VP Pence had any authority to do anything to affect the results of the 2020 presidential election after the Electoral College vote in December 2020 is delusional and ought to get their heads out of their collective asses.

[Tallguy]

Regardless, Pence is ineffective. Anybody who couldn’t manage to trounce the imbecile Kamala Harris in their debate is ineffective and should retire from elective politics.

‘
McCarthy is John Boehner - working for Dems behind the scenes.

[White Lives Matter]

What do you mean? Pence didn’t have to certify the electoral votes.

[frank ballenger]

So he and Pence’s mother are fans.

That makes two of them. Build on it for a fan base, Mike.
You’ll be a Jeb or a Kasich powerhouse in no time. (Somebody somewhere applaud)

Uniparty needs weak pence to be the designated loser in 2024

[Mr. Jeeves]

Pence and McCarthy are loyal - to a vision of America that they never cleared with the voters before adopting: the belief that the public is stupid and needs to be carefully managed and told what to do by its betters.

They are Tories, in other words - acting in ways antithetical to the spirit of the American Revolution.

Of course you’re right. That theory, secret executive orders, quo warranto writs, martial law, Insurrection Act, etc etc were, and always were, grade A fresh BS. The sooner all of our brothers and sisters abandon the unicorn hunts, the sooner we can get fully mustered for the twilight struggle for this country. The hour is late and the odds are long. We need everyone we can get

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Pence could at least said something powerful. He didn’t. He is content to lick the boots, and Heaven knows what else, of the tyrant oligarchs. He may or may not be a traitor, but he is surely despicable
