Hamilton star Denée Benton turned on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) during Sunday night’s 2023 Tony Awards, basking in a shower of enthusiastic applause as she smeared him as a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard.
Benton was center stage during the live broadcast on CBS and Paramount+ to present the Excellence in Theatre Education Award from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). She used her remarks to note she is not only a CMU alum but also hails from from Florida, saying:
"Earlier tonight, CMU and the Tony Awards presented the 2023 Excellence in Theatre Education Award. And while I am certain that the current Grand Wizard — I’m sorry, excuse me, governor — of my home state of Florida…"

These Leftist’s are brimming with hatred. Imagine a golf/any sports awards show and the players all get up and blast Biden as a demented racist ku klux klan member and puppy killer. It just doesn’t happen from the right. The Left really are unhinged, i.e. mentally ill.
Yeah he’s a little out there. Biggest reason for some people to not vote Trump is his nasty attacks on people.
Gotta wonder what advice Rove, Luntz and Paul Ryan are giving DeSantis on this. Probably take them a day or two to come up with a reply.
“Gotta wonder what advice Rove, Luntz and Paul Ryan are giving DeSantis on this.”
Do you have a source on this?
As well as the liberal influencer vote who amplify that message across social media and into the minds of women across america.
LOL, as if he ever had them.
I just checked, she has 11k followers on Twitter. Not exactly E. F. Hutton, but I affirm the desperate need to exaggerate.
Millions of people who think that show business is reality.
Politics is downstream of culture.
It isn’t one person.
3.9 viewers watched live.
Social media amplifies the film clips on Instagram and facebook and twitter.
Celebrity attendees, with large social media followings, amplify the event and post their own videos.
Exactly why Trump had the Celebrities on The Apprentice.
Now, I pay no attention to these award shows, but tens of millions of voters do pay attention and believe whatever celebrities they like say.
Well as someone said, the biggest problem this country has is the fact that people actually elected somebody like Obama.
That’s not fixable.
Based on a collusion of intelligence services, tech firms, media, celebrities, etc.
Is it fixable? Remains to be seen.
But they were turned on Trump as they will be on DeSantis. My only point.
The race of the people that wish us dead...
“It seems RDS should be able to sue a POS like this who is slandering him.”
Lol - no worse than the slandering he gets here.
Too stupid to bash Trump.
Evidently she can’t read polling.
If she could read the polling she’d know Trump is no dead horse and Ron ain’t no contender.
“Politics is downstream of culture.”
I get what you’re saying. The way I see it, culture is a arm of poltics, but not in a superior position to it. Katy Perry, Beyonce, Jay Z etc all endorsed Hillary.
Nobody here is calling him KKK. The same happens to Trump here but nobody here is saying these things a televised events such as this.
You would think people learned from how the media in 2008 attacked their favorite Republican backstabber McCain that it is always open season on a Republican candidate no matter who it is. Ditto for all those saying in light of the indictment that Trump should step aside. Do they really think the recent legal moves against DeSantis over shipping illegals to sanctuary cities are just noise and not an attempt to force him out by indictment as well? It’s not being naive but willfully ignorant.
It was only a matter of time...
We haven’t seen anything yet. Just wait...
