Former Vice President Mike Pence is hitting the speaking circuit once again less than a year after leaving office, but his reception has been lukewarm at best - and furious at worst.
'There are some Trump supporters who think he's the Antichrist,' an Iowa GOP official told Politico after Pence's first trip to the state since the election.
A recent Conservative Political Action Conference poll showed the ex-VP with just 1 percent of support for a possible 2024 run.
And while Iowa Republicans gave him a warm welcome Friday - calling him a 'man of faith,' Republicans in other parts of the country have been less friendly.
At a June Faith and Freedom Coalition event in Florida, Pence was heckled and called a 'traitor' by crowds who were furious he didn't stop the certification of the presidential election on January 6.
------------
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon said supporters of the ex-president 'understand Pence betrayed them' and so he's now 'being shunned and erased from the MAGA movement' as a result.

It will be DeSantis or Noem.
Haley burned bridges with MAGA.
Christie, Cheney, etc are all clowns with no support.
If Trump doesn't run, my money is on Noem.
1) She's "milfy" and we know how GOP'ers objectify women (see FoxNews "talent"
2) Politically, she's Trump in a pretty package.
3) "See suburban women, we DID listen to you"
4) She can pull in the evangelicals, the Trumpists, the Country Club Republicans and... MAYBE even some of the anti-Trumpers.
