Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton tonight in New York City.
Pence was harassed by the audience… AND the cast..
The audience booed when he entered the theater. (many also cheered)
Then at the close of the performance the lead actor Brandon Dixon insulted the vice president-elect.
Actor Brandon Dixon lectured the new Vice President-elect on “tolerance.”
“Vice President elect Pence we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at Hamilton the American musical. We really do. We sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us.”
Seriously?
On Saturday morning President-elect Donald Trump defended Mike Pence and told the Hamilton cast to apologize.
“Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!”
“The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!”
Don’t count on an apology. I am sure they have been receiving kudos and dozens of roses since their rant. Sometimes the bad ones get away with it.
Yeah, they should be insulted by these arrogant twits because their criminal lost.
They’re not going to apologize. Being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry for anything.
#TheaterSafeSpace
BoycottHamilton is trending on Twitter.
Isn’t going to HAMILTON already an act of diversity and inclusion? The booing and lecturing seems a tad childish.
This is the problem with ‘safe spaces’ and ‘trigger warnings.’ People think if they throw tantrums the universe will bend to their antics.
ENNY-THING. EVER.
How Dare He!
Go Trump
The sound of the POS show jumping over a shark was heard immediately after the curtain closed.
Protection from what? From Who? The theater doesn't have security to protect its diverse American actors while they perform?
Bunch of spoiled brats.
Public shaming and humiliation is OK now? Had it been a black guy that was called out, they would be up in arms. It’s always a one-way street with these Libs. Tolerance indeed.
They’re making a big deal about the actor being HIV+, who except liberals would actually brag about having STDs?
Maybe what we need is a wind fall profit tax on actors.
Maybe cutting all Federal funds to the arts might be a start. Ignorance deserves no better.
Bunch of effing stupid faggots having a hissy fit.
Nothing American about these evil scumbags at all.
Apologize or face the consequences.
Mike Pence should sue them on his admission ticket, and then demand a few million dollars in damages and use of him to make the teater “famous,” use of his presence as advertising, harassment etc.
He went to see a play not receive a harrasment diatribe assuming that Pence was not president of all America.
If the apology is not forth coming immediately after the suit is filed , then take them for a few million.They are coining it and why not nail the libtards while you can.
They are used to Republicans backing down. We need to stop that.
‘Arrogant twits’. I’ve played countless musicals over the years, and that’s exactly how I would describe most of the actors I’ve encountered. Most, not quite all.
I worked in live theater in the 1970s. This NEVER would have happened back then. Everything was signed “Love and Respect [name]”.
These people are NOT the beautiful and talented actors and stage crew that I worked with.
What a shame.
The heart of Manhattan went about 95% for Crooked Hillary. What can you expect? Just stop giving them your money. Its no longer the place of George M. Cohan or Irving Berlin or American values. It is part of the SWAMP!
Totally uncalled for but not surprising coming from the left. Leftists talk about tolerance but are some of the most intolerant people on the planet. Left or right, I would oppose anyone who acted this cast and audience did. Disagree but at least be civil! Geesh!
I think VP Pence should have walked back out of the theater..He does not need to take abuse from fools like that..I hope that so called play should be boycotted it sure is not worth throwing away all of that money on some half A** play with half A** MORONS in it..
