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.

The same cast, OTOH, applauded Shrillary when she attended.
Think of them as a pus pocket infecting the body of this country.
Show Won’t last long.
This is disgusting.
No decent person should spend a penny on this show from this point forward.
Sic semper tryannus!, eh, Broadway?
TheLastRefuge @TheLastRefuge2 @HamiltonMusical Liberals have a long history of hatred toward Republican President's carried out in theaters.
You should put a warning about the speech. You will hear a leftis read from a prepared script lecturing Pence and the Trump administration about how he has been triggered by the election results. Pence left and didn’t hear the ranting. I suggest the same for everyone else.
Okay. My boycott list is growing. NFL, Pepsico products, and now Broadway.
This is why we fight.
Let me reply to these liberal fascist actors who think they can ram their Utopia down the throats of our duly elected governance.An attempt to brand and cow the Vice President of the United States?
I hope no one ever attends Hamilton, again. Boycott it and shut it down.
Their threat was implicit.
And if you do not feel protected by your duly elected government will you bear arms in revolt?
I hope so. We will put your little liberal fascist meme to rest for good.
The creator of Hamilton limits the roles of the Founding Fathers to minorities (which he refers to as "people of color").
He said, "Our cast looks like America looks now, and that's certainly intentional. We're telling the story of old, dead, white men, but we're using actors of color, and that makes the story more immediate and more accessible to a contemporary audience"
The actress who debuted the role of Angelica said, "The most beautiful thing about [Hamilton] is...it's told by such a diverse cast..."
Well, a group limited to blacks and Hispanics most assuredly does NOT "look like America is now", and, as far as the cast being "diverse", it's only "diverse" if "diversity" means, "no whites".
That the cast should be triggered by a man who ran on a ticket that won because it appealed to whites is no surprise - all racists are like that.
What IS surprising is that New York whites continue to stream in to cheer on their extinction. Some people never learn, I guess.
Poor players that strut and fret their lives upon the stage and then are heard no more.
Let’s hope true patriots show their disdain for this now- politicized overpriced thespian group

It happens right here every day. People like to take rides on a bandwagon
Excellent verbiage.
I think pistol dueling at 10 paces should be made legal again.
There would be many leftists getting shot/shooting themselves by accident.
And more respect and less mouthing off.
