WATCH: Trump Backers Heckle GOP Leaders For Criticizing Lewd Comments: “Get Over It”

At Rally In Wisconsin, GOP Nominee’s Supporters Compare House Speaker Paul Ryan To Judas For Uninviting Candidate

Donald Trump’s die-hard supporters are, not surprisingly, rallying around him in the face of the firestorm over his comments condoning adultery and sexual assault, which surfaced in a video from 2005 on Friday. 

In Nevada, Trump backers heckled GOP Senate nominee Joe Heck, one of many Republican candidates and lawmakers who withdrew their support for the party’s presidential nominee in response to the video: 

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, Trump supporters were angry with House Speaker Paul Ryan for uninviting the GOP presidential nominee from a rally Saturday: 

The Associated Press reports that Trump supporters at the Wisconsin rally were defiant, much like the candidate himself. 

“Trump is a great man,” said Scott Reese, a 40-year-old plumber wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat. “We all make mistakes. … If everybody understands people make mistakes, then this shouldn’t have any effect.” 

Another Trump supporter, Dennis Karbowski, criticized Ryan for being worried about the image of the GOP. 

“Mr. Trump is human. We’ve all said those things,” Karbowski said. “Either you believe in your party or you don’t. I don’t like Judases.”

Here’s a clip of one of the speakers at the rally responding to the hecklers:
