Donald Trump is not happy Mike Pence wasn't welcomed with open arms by Broadway on Friday night.
Trump demanded that the cast of Hamilton apologize to the Vice president-elect after they stopped the show to address him directly about their fears.
The president-elect, who took to Twitter on Saturday morning to complain, claimed the cast had 'harassed' Pence.
'Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing,' Trump wrote. 'This should not happen!'
'The Theater must always be a safe and special place. The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!'
But the Hamilton cast began their address, which was delivered by actor Brandon Dixon, by thanking Pence for coming to the show.
'Vice president-elect Pence we welcome you and truly thank you for joining us here,' Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, said onstage.
Dixon then told Pence that the cast was a reflection of the Americans who were worried about their future following the presidential election.
'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,' he said.
'But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our Americans values and to work on behalf of all of us. All of us.'
Dixon was quick to defend the cast on Saturday morning, directly replying to Trump's tweets.
'Conversation is not harassment sir,' Dixon wrote. 'And I appreciate Mike Pence for stopping to listen.'

These are horrible people. To single out the U.S. VP elect who chose to patronize their business and then get publicly treated that way is disgraceful.
I agree. Even if the cast believes what they said, what they did is just bad business. Kapernick is also doing bad business by driving away his NFL customers. My uncle had a hardware shop and he used to tell me, “When you hang that shingle up, it’s your job to serve the public, not judge them.” And, believe me, there are many characters that come into a hardware shop that it’s very tempting to judge. The cast is due for a lesson in business acumen because they didn’t learn my uncles lesson.
Just trying to insert some logic here.
I do agree that their behavior was inappropriate. But trump sets himself up by demanding an apology. I thought it might have been better to have simply pointed out that it was inappropriate and leave it there.
#NoMoreTwitterforTrump!
When white people dress up as black people there is a huge problem and charges of cultural appropriation.
Hamilton is a play where black people dress up as white people.
the New York City Elite which is almost one hundred percent and these particular white people somehow seem energized by this.
Though I’m offended I notice there is something going on there: what is driving it..?
Maybe they are groping about for some kind of racial absolution..?
This news story as written is mocking Trump and Pence and It’s clear to anyone with a brain that the liberal media will continue to push their bias through channels they control. Circa 1974, the one-voice media pushed non-stop hatred of Nixon and got him impeached. It’s a different time now.
You just nailed it... what did Obama and the Dems do when Americans complained about the ACA?

BULLSHIT
My hatred of liberalism and those who follow it is growing daily.
Fox & Friends Weekend:
“VP-elect Mike Pence is greeted with boos & cheers from the “Hamilton” crowd & a lecture on inclusiveness from the cast.”

Ok! THIS nonsense has gone on LONG enough. A good man, serving this nation, VP elect Pence attends a play and is publicly humiliated! In any other time, he would have been asked to stand up and be acknowledged as the second most powerful man in the world, but NO, not this affirmative action, riot encouraging, PC BULL CRAP bunch of ‘entertainers’.
Do NOT attend any production of this farce…and I do NOT care if it’s entertaining or not..HOW MUCH OF YOUR DIGNITY AND THE SECURITY OF THIS NATION ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP to basset this bunch of whining anarchists!
Encourage everyone you know to boycott these subversive bastards on broadway and Hollywood. They need to display some CIVILITY! When you STOP making them rich, they will SHUT UP!
The media reports side with these useless idiots! We must do something about this media or they WILL destroy this presidency and any hope of escaping this madness! THIS is insane, people!
I have never witnessed another President or VP getting this kind of humiliating treatment. It has to stop. But it won’t because THEIR message is the only one getting out as we sit on our hands and refuse to organize to display OUR SUPPORT!
It was ugly! Fug ‘em! Boycott Hamilton! Like I’ll be in New York anytime soon!
I agree it is a disgrace. This is also why most of the country, and the numbers are growing everyday, ABSOLUTELY DESPISE these elitist, snobby hypocrites.
Sure glad Mr. Trump doesn’t take any advice from you.
Actor, Brandon Dixon should be fired immediately, by the management of “Hamilton”!!! HIs supreme, Adorees, POTUS Barack Hussein Obama & Hillary Clinton have made life miserable for African-Americans across the American Republic. Black Americans, enmasse, are worse off today then they ever were eight years ago!!! And...you can add the Congressional Black Caucus & NAACP to the “do nothing” for Black Americans, list!!! The NAACP low life have baned the support and operation of open charter schools for minorities, etc. American failures = Obama, Clinton, the enitre Democrat Party, the CBC & the NAACP!!! That, my friends, is the truth as it should be told!!! Broadway, vermin, APOLIGIZE to “our VP: “NOW”!!! Otherwise.....burn in hell!!!
And the Lord will sometimes use others to fight those battles...
Conversation is not a lecture with a captive audience and no two way discourse.....
“’Conversation is not harassment sir,’ Dixon wrote. “
WHAT conversation, you jack ass!?? You gave this good man a humiliating lecture. People like him have no business in a civil society. Classless bunch of PUKES. I am so furious I can hardly stand it this morning!
