Trump Skewers Pence In NRA Speech After Audience Boos Former VP

Former Vice President Mike Pence continues to learn what conservatives actually think of him, most recently by taking the stage at an NRA event in his home state of Indiana where the crowd greeted him with a chorus of boos and jeers.

Later the same day, Donald Trump addressed members of the same organization and couldn’t resist taking a shot at his former VP.

According to Fox News:

He also joked about Pence’s not-so-warm welcome during his speech to the convention earlier in the day when he was met with loud boos from across the room filled with thousands of attendees.

“I hope you gave Pence a good warm approval,” Trump said, as members of the crowd booed again at the mention of Pence’s name.

“It’s a big news story. You’ve made news today. I don’t know what you did, but you made news today with the introduction you gave,” he added.

Of course, Trump wasn’t the only one who weighed in on the incident.

Trump’s NRA speech touched on some arguably more important issues, such as his plan to protect the Second Amendment from the Biden administration’s ongoing assault.

As Breitbart reported:

He noted that while Biden’s gun controls suppress the law-abiding citizen’s ability to exercise the Second Amendment, criminals are allowed to roam free and the controls do not prevent them from acting on their criminal desires.

Trump observed, “[The left is] letting criminals roam free, they’re all over the place. I’ve never seen anything like it. You’re afraid to walk through one of these Democrat cities, you go out for a loaf of bread and you end up getting shot.”

He added, “As president, I will end the weaponization of our government.”
