President Elect Donald Trump on Thursday secured the Radio City Rockettes to perform at his Jan. 20 inauguration — but at least one dancer was not happy with the decision.
Rockette Phoebe Pearl said in an Instagram post Thursday night that she was “embarrassed and disappointed” to appear at the event.

“The women I work with are intelligent and are full of love and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything we’re against is appalling,” she wrote.
“I am speaking for just myself but please know that after we found out this news, we have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts #notmypresident”

According to Broadwayworld.com, the Rockettes were sent an email by their union which told them that were not able to “boycott” the event.
“Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace,” the email read.

They dance around in little outfits showing off their legs and curves. What is she complaining about??
They can quit. Sooner the better so the replacements can get up to speed.
To the thugs on the left, objecting to personally issuing a gay “marriage” license or actively participating in a gay “wedding” is illegal and grounds for firing, massive fines, or both, even though freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment. But to them, performing at a presidential inauguration for someone they didn’t vote for is grounds for a really big tantrum? Liberals are pathetic.
Can we get a close up..I mean of the tears.
My thoughts exactly......move on.....don’t let the door hit you on the way out
The Rocketttes are the ones that make a living by appearing in skimpy tights and kicking up their legs in unison, right???
Cheerleaders without a team, right??
Gosh. I guess she could quit if it is really that awful for her.
Well now, the little Miss can stay home and look for a new gig.
BUT.....
The hot Rockettes were for Trump. Not including Phoebe.
Can they do the show without her?
(as she's out looking for a new job)
I love the Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular IS spectacular. I say, ‘bake the d**m cake!” Now you know how it feels to be forced to do something you’re morally opposed to. Shoe is on the other foot..all the cliches.
Frankly, I’d like to see Trump forgo the popular culture route and stick with the service academy glee clubs and other US Military music ensembles.
Something like the Gold Rush and my 49ers this year. :=(
Phoebe is a bit Phoeble-minded.
LIV! Show folk can be (not always) some of the least informed on the planet (direct experience).
Guess she’s no rockette scientist...
KYPD
Please disinvite them, Mr.President
If they can’t show respect, who wants to watch!
There has to be plenty of talented people who would find this an honor!
If Snarky Ms Pearl is not speaking for all of them, and only herself.....haul her derrière to the sidewalk!
I was hoping that’d be the outcome.
I hope she is in violation of her contract and is now dancing down to the unemployment office.
