Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) was kicked out of a pro-Donald Trump event in his state in what was described later as a “very embarrassing” scene.

In footage posted to social media, Good, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, can be seen talking with store owner Karen Angulo, a former local GOP chair, and being told to leave the event. Virginia state Sen. John McGuire (R) was in attendance at the event and can be seen talking to someone in the background of the Good video. He is challenging Good for his congressional seat.

“We invited our State Senator John McGuire as a special guest because John has been a supporter of President Trump and never wavered, unlike Bob Good,” Angulo wrote in a statement about the incident with Good.

Good has lost some of his appeal with Trump supporters as he previously endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) while running for president. After the Florida governor suspended his campaign, Good endorsed Trump.

In the video from the Trump store opening. Angulo repeatedly tells Good to leave, and he, at one point, reads from an email inviting all Republicans supporting Trump to the event.

“Bob, please stop this,” Angulo said.

In a statement about the incident, she called it “embarrassing.”

“I repeatedly asked Bob to leave. Once he finally relented and left our store, Bob and his paid campaign staff stood out front for over four hours trying to block people from entering our store,” she wrote. “The whole thing was very embarrassing behavior for anyone, let alone a sitting member of Congress.”

Good told reporters in January that he endorsed DeSantis because he wanted a president who could serve eight years.

“I’m not against President Trump — I like what President Trump did. I just think we need eight years and so that’s why I endorsed Gov. DeSantis,” he said.
