Rockette goes on Instagram rant over Trump inauguration gig
NY Post ^ | 12/23/2016 | Joe Tacopino

President Elect Donald Trump on Thursday secured the Radio City Rockettes to perform at his Jan. 20 inauguration — but at least one dancer was not happy with the decision.

Rockette Phoebe Pearl said in an Instagram post Thursday night that she was “embarrassed and disappointed” to appear at the event.

“The women I work with are intelligent and are full of love and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything we’re against is appalling,” she wrote.

“I am speaking for just myself but please know that after we found out this news, we have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts #notmypresident”

[SNIP]

According to Broadwayworld.com, the Rockettes were sent an email by their union which told them that were not able to “boycott” the event.

“Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace,” the email read.

There must be 100 dancers waiting for a gig like this.

Hire one of them.

Problem solved.

Maybe some feedback to the company is needed?

I love the Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular IS spectacular. I say, ‘bake the d**m cake!” Now you know how it feels to be forced to do something you’re morally opposed to.

...

I don’t think this has anything to do with morality. She’s deranged.

“’performing for a man that stands for everything we’re against is appalling,’ she wrote.”

She’s a Rockette, for Pete’s sake. What she “stands for” is more honorable and noble than what Trump stands for? She’s a bimbo.

When she paid him for it and he put the money in his pocket or where ever he put it, it was not his any longer. If I was her, I would tell him. On second thoughts what I would say to the sob, ladies should say, or even think.

conservatives have to learn from this.

if you identify a liberal... don’t hire them, don’t frequent their business, don’t help them in any way, and discredit when possible.

give them no quarter

They claim to be full of love; but it is hate that uglies them up.

Bake the cake!
Hire the homo!
Dance for your employer!

Pretty simple, really.

Just shut up and dance. It is your job. You aren’t donating your time nor doing it for free.

Did you just fall off a turnip truck?

Somewhere in the bowels of Gotham, there's a run-down dive bar that has a stripper's pole with her name on it.

Well, 'Phoebe Pearl' does sound like a good stripper name.

Pheobe, the Hamilton actor, Colin K., etc. should all be fired on the spot. Employees shouldn’t be allowed to drag in their employers while making political statements. Sorry, Pheobe, you signed a contract so either you shut up and dance or hit the unemployment line.
