Trump and Pence vs. ‘Hamilton’ cast: A collision of two Americas
Washington Post ^ | November 19 at 8:32 PM | Philip Rucker

“We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir,” said Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who played Aaron Burr, reading a statement the cast members had drafted together.

“But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us,” he continued.

...

Trump being Trump, the president-elect punched back.

“The Theater must always be a safe and special place,” Trump tweeted. “The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!”

There was a certain irony to Trump’s demand, considering that as a candidate he rarely if ever apologized for the blizzard of insults he sprayed across the country.

...

Trump’s defenders rushed to condemn the “Hamilton” cast and voice outrage at perceived disrespect. His supporters started a “#BoycottHamilton” campaign on Twitter — although “Hamilton” tickets are such a hot commodity that the production is sold out well into next year.

“The arrogance and hostility of the Hamilton cast to the Vice President elect (a guest at the theater) is a reminder the left still fights,” tweeted former House speaker Newt Gingrich, an informal Trump adviser.

They obviously haven’t been listening to Trump who has repeatedly emphasized his wish to help every segment of American society. He and Pence can’t be expected to assuage lib fears based on libs’ own propaganda!

Thanks so much for that link! Especially the “Liquid A$$” in a bottle, in conjunction with the Stink Bombs are a laugh. There’s some liberal stores I wish I could have used that stuff on. Reminds me of my 4-year-old granddaughter last night, she sweetly came over and jumped up on my lap, looking so adorable. Then she cut loose a fart, hopped off and laughed. Her mom said “oops”, but the damage was done. Stank like heck. I guess a stink bomb could disrupt a play!

It’s a collision of rudeness with decorum

Who wants their apology? Forced apologies from racists like them are worthless. And, anyway, why are they trying to re-write history? Alexander Hamilton was white. We will see what is to unfold. This I know. Donald Trump was destined to become our 45 President with Mike Pence at his side and no amount of corruption or racism is going to stop that. It has been ordained by the real God, and not the God’s these arrogant people want you to serve, which are them, of course.

Actually sir you are the ignorant, hate filled America, that got Trump elected as President. Thank you!

This is an interesting thought, with his sister being a judge and Judge Jeanine having a lot of loyalty to Trump.
I did see her on the “elevator watch” of Trump Tower.
