Former Vice President Mike Pence was heckled by Donald Trump supporters at the Iowa State Fair on Thursday, the second time in recent days he’s been confronted on the campaign trail for failing to support Trump’s 2020 coup attempt.

Pence, in a video shared by Iowa Starting Line, was making his way to a radio interview at the fairgrounds when people wearing “Team Trump” shirts yelled in his direction.

“MAGA everyday, Pence is a traitor,” one woman shouted.

“Anybody that says he has a higher power, uses those words, he is not a Christian when you say ‘higher power.’ We don’t buy it as believers, Pence. You are far from a Christian, far from a believer.”

The woman later told reporters that Donald Trump is “going to sweep up” corruption, according to a video shared by Arizona journalist Camaron Stevenson.

“I’m gonna vote for the guy with the most impeachments and the most indictments because that guy, he knows where all the corruption is and this time it’s like ‘clean the house,’” she declared.

Pence was berated as “a traitor” and “a sellout” at an event in New Hampshire last week.

“I upheld the Constitution,” he told the heckler before adding: “Read it.”

In another event at the Iowa fair, one person asked Pence: “Why did you commit treason?”

“It’s a fair question, look, come on people, it’s why I came,” Pence said over a booing crowd.

“Look, there’s almost no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person can pick the American president,” he said. “The American presidency belongs to the American people.”

Pence’s campaign said he has met the donor threshold for the first GOP debate later this month.
