Read Replies (2) | Respond to of 1576671 Trump Mocks MAGA Supporters Behind Their Backs: Ex-Pence Aide BY NICK MORDOWANEC ON 10/10/23 AT 4:24 PM EDT POLITICS DONALD TRUMP MIKE PENCE MAGA PETER NAVARRO Olivia Troye, a former aide to former Vice President Mike Pence , claimed on The View that former President Donald Trump routinely insulted his own supporters behind closed doors. She made the accusations as a guest on Tuesday's episode when asked why she thought Trump has a stranglehold on the Republican Party and a large chunk of its voters. The current GOP frontrunner for president in 2024 has a 42-point lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis , his closest challenger, in one poll released in September, while a Washington Post poll showed him comfortably defeating President Joe Biden in a rematch of 2020. "Why do you think so many people still have this blind loyalty to him?" asked The View co-host Sunny Hostin, referencing a Morning Consult poll and Trump garnering 61 percent support. "What does that say about the party now?" "I think it speaks to an unfortunate state of the Republican Party," Troye said. "It is certainly not the party that I want it to be and not the party that I believe it has been in the past. I think he has done a great job of sort of marketing himself as the champion for all of these people who are behind him in this movement. "But we've sat in these meetings. What is so frustrating and angering to me is he has nothing in common with any of his supporters and I detest the way he speaks about them. Like, when he would talk about them in meetings, it was so disparaging to them. "I think about my own family members who, by the way, are very unhappy with me. I have a lot of family members who are still Trump supporters. They're very upset that I'm a Trump critic. I think about them and I'm like, I hate the way you speak about them sometimes behind closed doors."
