Tonight Mike Pence went to see the Broadway hit musical, Hamilton. He was roundly booed by an audience of ill-mannered theater-goers. Who knew that people who can afford thousands of dollars (that is what it costs) to see a play about Alexander Hamilton could be so abominably rude. While a few people cheered him, most were booing. This is the low point to which the intolerant left has brought us; very low.
To add insult to injury, Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who plays Aaron Burr, the man who murdered Hamilton in a duel and became a traitor to America, delivered an ill-informed lecture to Pence at the show's end. Can't we all visualize this group of privileged rich actors composing their insulting rant backstage during the performance? He said he and his cast members are "alarmed," as though the country just elected a tyrant. He ranted about "diversity," as though Trump and Pence are actually all the things the "fake news" lefty media say they are.
This crowd has been so thoroughly indoctrinated by the MSM, they are more afraid of a Trump administration than they are of ISIS. This can only be explained by ignorance of essential facts - as Governor, Mike Pence believed in religious freedom and was excoriated for it. But so uninformed are these people, they do not know that their beloved Obama has effected a soft tyranny these past eight years. He has governed by fiat, going around Congress most of his two terms. He has transformed America in countless ways and many millions of Americans just fought back with their votes. Shouldn't the privilege of wealth bring with it responsibility - the responsibility to be cognizant of essential facts? This audience and this cast are an American embarrassment.
So rude, so unconscionable was this theatrical show of solidarity with the intolerant Left, perhaps all of Broadway should be boycotted by sentient people.

An IRS audit for Brandon Victor Dixon?
For Lib-Progs that constitutes civility.
Nobody here is surprised by this are they? The vast Majority of the Entire Entertainment Industry HATES America, Americans, and everything they believe and stand for. You see them all laugh behind the scenes at how they con you into Purchasing their Product so they can ridicule you even more.
The very pus filled bubble the heartland voted against. If I were a liberal, I’d be upset at the rejection too.
Unfortunately, you are not going to get your wish.
"Hamilton" is the hottest ticket in town, people are paying $3000 and up for tickets on the street, and unlike the cast, which is limited to POCs, the audience is overwhelmingly white (can you IMAGINE a brutha laying down three large for this crap?).
We have a serious problem when whites are streaming in to a theater to cheer for their extinction, but that's where we are, from Stockholm to San Francisco and from Toronto to Sydney, and we aren't going to fix it by electing Trump/Pence (although it's an encouraging start).
Any deviation from the norm of revolutionary, Marxist, brilliant-intellectual-genius Progressives telling the plantation serfs what to do is worthy of booing, hissing and general disdain.
It’s exactly what revolutionary, Che-Guevarra-loving scu&bags do, expertly.
(Question: is the word scu*bag sufficient to describe obnoxious, soul-less individuals? Just asking.)
IMHO
Trump needs a program to stop child sex abuse so there won’t be so many confused people in the world.
Yes, that’s the source of MOST homosexuality.
Yes. The traveling show for Hamilton is making the rounds. We won’t be seeing it. I remember reading that they advertised for only minority actors to fill the actor slots. If it had been the other way around (dictating only white actors need try out), they would have been prosecuted.
You need to know that these people are actors. They live in a “make believe” world and know not what real life is about.
Their parents spit on soldiers returning from the Vietnam War. Acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.
'Course, nothing ever comes near our town.
Although we did get a Home Depot and a McDonald's a few years back.
Terrific!
Well, we can really make it the hottest play on Broadway then. Big League.
This kind of harassment of a duly elected official should not be taken lightly.
It would be good to sue the theater company for a few million in damages. Pence paid for a ticket to see a movie, not be a victim of hate speech.
The left is going to get it right back atcha.
That there are none so blind as those who will not see...
A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, indicating nothing.
Maybe Trump’s transition team is overburdening the Trump Tower area.
I think it should move next door to “Hamilton” and put up a bunch of barricades and metal detectors.
MANY years ago when I was living in New York I rode the elevator to my 25th floor apartment with the actor who played the role of the lion on Broadway in The Wiz. We had never met before. He said, Hello, and asked me if I were an actor. A strange question I thought, and I replied, No, and then told him my job. He said he thought everyone in this building was an actor. He then asked, Who pays your rent? When I replied that I paid my rent, he said that his business manager paid his, and he did not know how much the rent was.
Of course, they are showing their politics; seemingly derigeur for actors and actresses these days. My view to them: SHUT UP and do your play! and you are showing you don’t understand that the right of dissent is what your play is about.
Booth was a stage actor
The incivility of the cast of “Hamilton”and of its audience toward Vice President Elect Mike Pence was DISGRACEFUL in the extreme!!!! They are the REAL “deplorables”!!!!
PHOOEY to these overprivileged Blue-state leftists!!!!
PHOOEY to “diversity”!!!!
PHOOEY to “gays”!!!!
PHOOEY to the New York left’s favorite “news” source—the New York Times!!!! This is the REAL source of fake news—not conservatives who post on Google, Twitter, or Facebook—or on FR or Breitbart!!!! Anyone who gets their “news” from the NYT, the Boston Globe, or the Washington Post is totally misinformed and uninformed, and full of BS and propaganda!!!!
Trump/Pence won!!!! We rejected the leftists such as were present at that play, and their candidate—Crooked Hillary!!!!
PHOOEY again!!!!
