New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) addressed a group of hecklers in his state who were caught on film targeting Mike Pence during his campaign trail. Sununu expressed his lack of surprise at the behavior, referring to Trump supporters as “angry, unhinged” individuals who are defensive and eager to ensure that Trump is handed the nomination without having to earn it.
During an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Sununu commended Pence for “doing the right thing” by refusing to support Trump’s scheme to overturn the 2020 election. He recognized that Pence would inevitably be used as a metaphorical punching bag by Trump’s staunch supporters.
The incident involving Trump supporters accosting Pence occurred as he was entering an event in New Hampshire, with individuals calling him a “traitor” and a “sellout” while demanding an explanation for his failure to uphold the Constitution.
Sununu’s criticism of Trump stems from the former president’s recent indictment on four federal felonies related to his attempted coup. The indictment reveals that Trump and his co-conspirators pressured Pence to fraudulently alter the election results during the January 6, 2021, certification of electoral votes.
Pence has been a target of attacks from Trump’s supporters since he refused to comply with the former president’s demands. He has also openly criticized Trump for his role in inciting the January 6 riot and has intensified his disapproval following the indictment. Pence accuses Trump and his team of crackpot lawyers of attempting to force him to reject the electoral votes favoring Joe Biden.
As a vocal critic of Trump, Sununu announced in June that he would not be running for president in 2024. Instead, he plans to campaign against Trump and prevent an outcome where a candidate with only 35% of the vote is handed the nomination, emphasizing the high stakes involved.
It is evident that Sununu’s tone is meant to convey his disapproval of Trump’s actions and his support for Pence’s stance.
