Pro-Trump protester shouts ‘NO’ at Mike Pence while holding a t-shirt with ex-president’s mugshot under ‘never surrender’ during brutal heckling in New Hampshire

Mike Pence was met during Labor Day remarks at a picnic in Salem, New Hampshire, waving a t-shirt with Donald Trump’s mugshot.

A man sitting front and center listening to the speech of five presidential candidates in the country’s first primary state “boosted” Pence, who was the first speaker, when he came out to make his pitch for the president .

The former vice president was forced to look at a blue t-shirt with the ex-president’s mugshot and the words, “Never Surrender,” during his remarks Monday.

The man stood up, “booed” and waved the T-shirt when Pence first came on stage. Throughout the speech, the man held up the mugshot-laden T-shirt, and at the end stood up to show the entire crowd the image and message.

Trump’s first mugshot was released last month when he turned himself over to authorities in Fulton County, Georgia, following his fourth and final charge in the plan to overturn the 2020 election results.

The mugshot was immediately embraced by his supporters, as evidenced by its use on the t-shirt to protest Pence on Monday.

After Pence’s comments, four other candidates made their case to gain voters in New Hampshire. These candidates were former Texas Rep. Will Hurd; former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson; former mayor of Cranston, Rhode Island, Steve Laffey; and biotech millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy.

By far the fan favorite at the Salem GOP Labor Day Picnic was Ramaswamy, who made an impact last month at the first Republican debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Pence was also one of eight candidates on that podium, where Trump was conspicuously absent.

Pence has faced hecklers and protesters several times in the past, most notably those die-hard Trump supporters who believe the former vice president is a traitor for refusing to stop Congress from announcing the results of the 2020 presidential election. certify.

The former vice president stood by his actions that day, claiming he took a vow to uphold the Constitution — and did so by overseeing the certification of Electoral College votes on January 6, 2021.

Despite having perhaps one of the highest name recognitions of the other dozen or so candidates under Trump, Pence has struggled to gain ground in the polls and has remained in the middle bracket.

Earlier Monday, Pence made a stop at Granite State Baptist Church Smokeoff in Concord, New Hampshire. After the Salem picnic, he headed to Scott Brown’s No BS Backyard Barbecue in Rye, New Hampshire, to wrap up his Labor Day campaign stops.
