It is discourteous that the cast of Hamilton chose to air their political views at their show while Pence was in attendance.
It was neither the time or place. He came to see a show just like everyone else.
The Broadway show Hamilton is Diversity itself!
The actors screwed up. In their arrogance and self loathing, they made a bad decision to single out someone in their audience.
“It is discourteous that the cast of Hamilton chose to air their political views at their show while Pence was in attendance.”
Before Bill Clinton, Hollywood did not engage in public politics to the degree they do today. Suddenly, Hollywood was being courted for money, invited to the White House and, as a result, getting exposure on the news. They loved the attention and the Hollywood ego kicked in. They felt important and, of course the world needed their opinions and commentary! Naturally!
When they aren’t in the spotlight they feel like Cindy Sheehan, who stocked George Bush after he had met with her. She was desperate for the excitement of the limelight. All of Hollywood are desperate for attention. They compete to post the nastiest anti-Republican Tweets not because they have something of substance to say, but for another moment in the limelight.
We need to stop paying attention to show business people.
