The US vice-president elect, Mike Pence, was booed by a theater audience when he attended the hit hip-hop musical Hamilton in New York on Friday night and then had a message about protecting diversity delivered to him from the stage after the curtain call.
On Saturday, President-elect Donald Trump accused theatre-goers of having harassed Pence, writing on Twitter: Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!
He also demanded an apology: The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!

Oops. Spoiler Alert!
okay. So a musical that intentionally left white people out of it’s cast and goes on to lecture a white man about diversity comes of, at the very least, a bunch of hypocrites.
From what others have said here...it sounds like Pence is the one who should have booed.
btw, they must have been booing in the video because NBC wants to license it
No - but I saw the advert in the Times last week. I had tickets to The Nutcracker last Xmas and then got sick. I haven’t seen it in over 10 years. It never changes and is always delightful. And then the exhausted ballerinas are forced to take professional photos with children after the show, the poor girls!
Some of it is excellent. You have to research what you are thinking about seeing, just like you do with movies.
My favorite showstopper is “Life Isn’t Fair” from The 25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee. Can’t find a video to post here but all closed Broadway plays can be viewed on video at the Lincoln Center branch of the NY Public Library.
On the Trump U thing, Trump’ll have the last laugh when snowflakes start filing class action lawsuits against their deep-pocketed alma maters.
Country = County
Push back. Don’t take it.
I haven’t seen any clips.
Who booed: cast, audience, both?
Disgusting low-life clods.
The presumption that Pence would NOT act on all Americans’ behalf is offensive and immature.
SO LETS SEE HOW TICKET SALES GO...
If you don't know the answer to your own question, then I'm sorry for you. The man you honor with your screen name would certainly agree with (the very far Left) George Takei in this instance, and not you.
The people who put on that musical like to preach diversity, but they put out a casting call for only "people of color." No whites wanted. Yet they have the nerve to lecture our incoming Vice President about diversity? All of the historical figures they represent in that musical were -- drum roll please -- WHITE, but the Leftist loons of our time want to portray those historical figures as anything but white.
Those tweets - going over the head of the media to the American people - helped propel him into the White House. Why some freepers cannot see this is beyond me. Every morning I check him out and am usually delighted with what he’s got to say. And if the hearts are anything to go by, I’m not alone.
Is that worse than Kansas City faggots?
I don’t have a clue what you are going on about. That tweet was from George..the ENTIRE post
Anyone who doesn’t recognize that battle lines have been drawn is a step behind history. They started this fight, let’s finish it. Nothing short of a complete and total boycott of all hateful leftist media is acceptable at this point.
Mainstream News: out
Hollywood: out
Broadway: out
NFL: out
NBA: out
Print Media: out
These people live cushy lives on our hard earned dollars (from real jobs!), and then spit in our faces whenever they feel like it, thinking we’ll just come back the next day to shine their shoes. Mike Pence was a CUSTOMER, giving these people hard earned money for nothing! And they publicly harass him as paid employees with no fear of repercussion.
They asked for it, let’s give it to them. This is a fight!
Donate all you can afford to right-wing sites. Visit conservative sites only and speak your mind freely and often. Boycott all hateful leftist media - they are the sworn enemy of hard-working, free-thinking, law-abiding citizens with real jobs!
These people have become like boisterous, spoiled children. They have gotten away with lies, rudeness and selfishness, coddled by a race baiting administration. Many are disgusted with our lives being permeated with charges of racism, homophobia and all the other minorities that have been allowed to control the conversation. They are making it impossible to give a damn. They need to GROW THE HELL UP.
