Leave to the commies at the Guardian to make their headline an outright lie.
Trump told the cast to apologize, not the audience.
When I saw the title I was concerned. Then I read the blurb and saw the title was incorrect.
With free speech, the AUDIENCE (general public) should be free to boo. Imagine if OJ Simpson after being acquitted was in there, or Hillary Clinton. The President should not call for shutdown of free speech.
However, President elect Trump wants the PRODUCTION / CAST of Hamilton to apologize and they should. The audience paid good money and what happens on stage is what they paid for. The cast doing what they did for political reasons is appalling. No matter who was in the audience.
But they are shallow and ignorant and they won’t apologize.
Or what?
Reagan wanted to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Maybe that’s something Trump should put back on the table for consideration.
Most likely, the Broadway shows aren’t directly benefitted by NEA funds, but tangentially there may be many connections. I’ll bet the elite would not be happy if some of their hoity-toity entertainment, art shows, scholarship, etc., options were to be threatened.
The Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts is appointed by the President. I nominate Charlie Daniels or any of the Duck Dynasty guys.
