"Hamilton" star Leslie Odom Jr. actually thinks President Trump could have a point -- but not in the way Trump thought -- because he thinks removing George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues is worthy of discussion.
We got the actor -- who famously played Aaron Burr in the smash musical -- at LAX Wednesday and asked about Trump's argument that removing the statue of Robert E. Lee could open the door to 86'ing the famous presidents.
Washington and Jefferson owned slaves ... so, he says fair question.
FUA
Is there any evidence whatsoever that anyone appreciates that slavery no longer exists?
Complain, complain, complain, and complain some more...
PUT A FRICKEN CORK IN IT!
Maybe you should go F yourself!
The Washington Monument? The State of Washington? The capitol city? All the counties and towns named for the two?
Hamilton should be cancelled. He was a racist.
I’ve been checking the news hourly waiting for the star of Hamilton to give us his wise and sage opinion, one that is so different than that of every other liberal Broadway dancer.
Wonder what they will do when the Martin Luther King statues start coming down.
Think the Dums who run Charlottesville and Virginia will advocate demolishing Monticello?
All people named Washington or Jefferson need to change their names.
I think we should tear down/rename, whatever ANY Harvey Milk, etc. “memorials” inasmuch as millions of people have died of AIDS
Cmon, turnabout is fair play, right?
Peronally, I find the very idea of the show ‘Hamilton’ to be offensive. What is the point of putting only minorities in the personages of White men? Trying to pretend that minorities founded this country? Just another example of Leftists rewriting history to try to take some credit.
My wife has a rabid kook lib friend named “Lynch.” My wife declined to ask her friend if she had petitioned the court to change her name.
Mohammad owned slaves.
That’s what I say. FUA, and go find another country to ruin.
He didn’t have a problem making money off of Mr. Hamilton’s name.
Destruction of our history ping list. Please let me know if you want on or off of this list. It looks like it will be a high volume list.
How about we get rid of Martin Luther King Jr Blvd..pretty much EVERYWHERE..show me an MLK Blvd that isn’t full of gang bangers
