During a town hall meeting on Friday at American Legion Post 27 in Londonderry, supporters of former President Donald Trump loudly criticized and heckled former Vice President Mike Pence.
Protesters surrounded Pence, accusing him of disobeying the Constitution and casting doubt on his devotion to former President Trump and the American people.
Trump supporters surrounded Mike Pence’s car as he arrived at his Friday town hall, shouting, “That’s a traitor,” “You’re a sellout,” according to ABC reporter Kelsey Walsh.
“Why did you sell out the people?” one protestor said.
Another protester asks Pence why he didn’t “uphold the Constitution.”
“I upheld the Constitution. Read it,” Pence argued.
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?”

The 2020 Presidential election results certification process is directly implicated in the allegations against the former Vice President.
During an interview with FOX News, Mike Pence “implicitly admits he had the power to reject fraudulent votes on January 6.”
“It wasn’t just that they asked for a pause. The president specifically asked me, and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes, which would have resulted in the issue being turned over to the House of Representatives, and literally chaos would have ensued,” Pence said.
When Vice President Pence presided over a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021, President Trump lobbied heavily for Pence to accept challenges to state election results and give those states time to analyze their elections. When Trump claimed he had the right to do so under the Electoral Count Act of 1887, Pence rejected his arguments.

He knew there was fraud and if he sent EC votes back to state legislatures for further review, 12th Amendment would’ve kicked in where GOP House of Reps would’ve voted for Trump

Kari Lake responded, “You mean like the CHAOS of having an illegitimate “president” who is destroying our country, taking bribes from our enemies and launching us into World War III like we currently have with Joe Biden?!! Mike Pence you are such a disappointment.”
Trump Attorney Christina Bobb wrote, “Thank you for saving us from chaos Now we’ve had chaos for 3 years. Go home, Mike.”
