Actually....he should say this:
“The story of Alexander Hamilton, brought to life for our generation by the brilliant Lin-Manual Miranda, is a timeless story of hard work, courage, faith and perseverance...and the consequence of choices both good and bad.
It is the heroic story of the founding, and our founders. It reminds us of the heroic sacrifice that they made so long ago. It reminds us that these flesh and blood human beings gave everything so that we might enjoy the blessing of freedom.
Moreover, the story of Eliza Hamilton, the greatest woman of our founding era, is an incredible story of strength, hard work, faith and ultimately forgiveness...and a forgiveness which only comes from Christ.
I am grateful that the story of Hamilton has been made so accessible to contemporary audiences. And I’m glad I saw this show.”
THAT is what he should say...rising above the jackasses in the audience.
Just a thought.... :)
Agreed
I agree — that’s exactly the right tone.
