‘Julius Caesar’ Actor on Trump-Stabbing Play: ‘This Is Resistance’
breitbart ^ | DANIEL NUSSBAUM

Posted on 06/25/2017 3:39:25 PM PDT by davikkm

Actor Corey Stoll has opened up about his experience starring in the Public Theater’s controversial staging of Julius Caesar this summer, explaining that performing the play in the wake of protests and criticism was itself a form of “resistance.” In an essay for Vulture, the 41-year-old House of Cards star, who played Marcus Brutus in the play, wrote that he initially did not know the Caesar character would be a stand-in for President Donald Trump, complete with blonde hair and business suit. The character’s resemblance to the president sparked outrage when, as happens in the Shakespeare classic, the Trump-like Caesar is brutally stabbed to death by his associates in the Senate. The controversy led two sponsors of the Public Theater, Delta Air Lines and Bank of America, to pull their funding, while hecklers interrupted the performance during its final few nights.

“The protesters never shut us down, but we had to fight each night to make sure they did not distort the story we were telling,” Stoll wrote. “At that moment, watching my castmates hold their performances together, it occurred to me that this is resistance.”

Resistance? Against what, all that is right and moral and for the good of this country and it’s citizens?? Typical liberal way of thinking....what is ‘right’, is wrong, and what is ‘wrong’, is right.

So any resistance to Obama was racism so this is also racism.

Exactly. Resistance against what? The US Constitution?

The right to protect citizens from predators?

Your resistance my friend may not end well on your behalf.

Resistance is not consistent with our Constitution. It is punishable by a firing squad.

They don’t really mean resist. What they really mean is for you to conform to their expectations or else.

Revolution is consistent with the Declaration of Independence however. And as our Founders knew quite well there are only two possible outcomes for the “resisters.”

If you win you’re Golden! If you lose you’re hung as a traitor.
And until you win you’re a traitor who can be shot, hung or imprisoned if caught in the act.

...Typical liberal way of thinking....what is ‘right’, is wrong, and what is ‘wrong’, is right...

Looks like Democrats were in mind when this was written several thousand years ago.

Well, well, well. How bow dat. You know, Frank learned it from Obama. According to Obama. (be sure to watch the video)

Lucy, just so you're forewarned - it is Obama with more mind games.
