McConnell Heckled Mercilessly During Speech

Pence responded by asserting that he upheld the constitution and choosing it over loyalty to Trump.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell faced jeers and chants during a speech in Kentucky, with crowds calling for him to retire and criticizing his leadership.
