Supporters of former President Donald Trump crashed a presidential campaign event for former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday.

Pence was met by a group of about 10 Trump supporters armed with signs and flags as he arrived at a town hall in Londonderry, New Hampshire, NBC News reported.

"There's the sellout! There's the traitor!" the group jeered as Pence got out of the car.

Video of the incident showed a handful of people wearing Trump and MAGA merchandise yelling at Pence in a parking lot.

"Why'd you sell out the people? Why didn't you uphold the Constitution?" one person could be heard saying in the brief clip.

"I upheld the Constitution," Pence called behind his shoulder. "Read it."

Even as they hurled their jeers — albeit tamer than the ones Pence endured during the Capitol riot when members of the mob called for his execution — the former vice president still tried to win them over.

"I know the people in this movement, whether they support me or not, are the best people in this country," Pence said later in the event while motioning to the protesters, NBC reported.

Trump — who just pleaded not guilty in the 2020 election interference case, which was his third arraignment of this year — continues to lead the Republican primary polls. Pence remains in the single digits.
