If Donald Trump is waiting for an apology from the cast of “Hamilton,” he will have to continue to wait.

Actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the celebrated musical, told “CBS This Morning” on Monday that “there's nothing to apologize for.” Dixon gave Vice President-elect Mike Pence an onstage earful about equality at the end of Friday’s performance. …

Well, it might just be historically accurate in the case of Wallace Fard Muhammad, per some sources.

Imagine the outraged shrieking from the usual suspects if some black historical figure were played by a white actor in this day and age.

Well yeah...but ya gotta admit PeeWee Herman was born to play Obama in the bio-pic. I mean he's a natural, got the same moves, the same squeal, and everything. Does all that silly stupid stuff as Golf-One, probably a better golfer than you know who though.

Pee Wee Herman also has more flair atop a bicycle than President 0bama.

Entertainers have been attacking those they disagree with (mostly conservatives) for decades.

There is no need to apologize. In fact he made a big step forward for liberal entertainers. It’s now ok to
attack those you disagree with politically in theaters (where tickets were paid for). No need to wait for an opportunistic interview.

It’s also ok to attack specific paying customers in the theater. It may have been a politician this time but anyone with a MAGA hat is now a legitimate target in theaters.

These are huge precedents. If it plays our right, liberals will not only be able to avoid contact with conservative ideas online but also when they go to movies, plays, and other cultural entertainment events like NFL games (since conservatives won’t go). They are making progress towards implementing SNL’s bubble across the country.

Even if it wasn’t the case this year, in 2020 most liberals will be able to honestly say “I don’t know how Trump won. I haven’t met a single person who supported him”.

From what I’ve read, Pence is the one who handled the matter best. Calm and classy. It could’ve stopped right there.

I don’t expect a POS to apologize for anything. Just other than lie there like a turd you are.

“The entire cast ought to apologize for their revisionist travesty. Let it die by attrition.”

Unfortunately, this will live on for awhile, as others have noted - ticket sales are brisk and it is going on the road.

There needs to be a local/state body which vets productions for accuracy. White in white roles. Black in black roles etc. And the tone and dialogue must be correct. If such a production makes it stage, the city it is performed in suddenly has no funding from the feds.

Last year, I took the family to a production of a Christmas Carol - there were black actors playing key parts. I wrote the production company, and they retorted they were seeking the best person for the part or
some bull.

I did point out the inaccuracies of the depictions to the kids though.

I was forced to watch the View this morning in the doctor's waiting room... ugh. They had this guy on there, and they were all emphasizing that it was only the audience that booed the VP and that the cast had no involvement in this controversy at all.

That didn't sound like the story I heard the other day (in the news)... so who knows... the View isn't exactly a trusted source in my mind.

[[the View isn’t exactly a trusted source]]

Don’t worry- Google and Twitter and Facebook are going to ‘stop the fake news’ from sources like the view /s

He was a paying customer. He has the right to see a play without being called out by the cast.

A white Broadway actor would NEVER have done the same thing to Obama-—in this connection, especially— it would have to occur in the same interregnum that Trump is now in,before he’s even served one day of his first term. During that period,Broadway and most of the country was provisionally IN LOVE with Obama.The actions of this HAMILTON actor is one of many expressions of the last gasp of the Obama “love affair”. And check out this guy’s tweet of a few years ago, where he shows a photo of an apparently drunk lily-white blonde, head on the bar,next to a big mug of beer. He notes that St. Patrick’s Day is like Christmas for black guys who want to pick up white girls.

Art has regressed from making points through artistic endeavors to using art to get people into buildings where they can be harangued as a tax on attendance.

This will not work out well for artists.

Most people want to be entertained, and don’t find hearing about politics 24 hours a day entertaining.
