ORLANDO, Fla. — A slate of more than a dozen prominent conservatives lambasted Democrats as pushing America toward socialism, blasted “The Squad,” and called on evangelical voters to deliver Republicans back into majorities in Congress in 2022.
They found a mostly friendly audience at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference, a meeting of evangelicals and conservative activists, in hopes of beginning momentum toward electoral wins next year.
But the rifts in the Republican Party following the tumultuous Trump era couldn’t entirely be papered over, with former Vice President Mike Pence being greeted with some boos and getting heckled as a “traitor” from at least one woman toward the back of the room. She was quickly removed by security.
