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…"

DeSantis is in the FBI?
The take from this for the Never Trumpers SHOULD be is that it doesn’t matter who the Republican nominee will be. The Deep State will push Democrats to destroy anything to the right of left field with the same fervor they are constantly attacking Donald Trump.
This a war and the marionettes housed in the Black House bunker at Kalorama are not interested in seeking common ground or getting along. They are at war with freedom, truth and common sense. The difference in Republican candidates is that Trump fights back. Sometimes unconventionally, yes. And the fact that the leaders on the right won’t do anything beyond writing strongly worded letters tells me there is nobody else we can trust to fight for everyday Americans.
It occurs to me that that may be the path to stopping this nonsense. Prosecute for slander, libel, civil rights violations, on a grand scale.
Maybe in Hollywood, but for the rest of us watching paint dry is more entertaining
The Coercers in this country has taught us that you don’t need to prevail in lawsuits to succeed.
Worse, was another actress insinuating conservatives "don't want a person like me to live."That pissed me off. Loudly.
Worsest; the non-binary black dude, dressed indescribably, who won an actress category....to raucous applause.
We watched--kinda'--and reported, so you don't have to.
I didn’t know he was a Trump supporter.
This guy obviously hates Trump more.
0.8 percent of the population knows who this person is so she’s just preaching to a very, very small crowd.
Of course she never heard of Robert Byrd, who Senate Dems actually elected as their leader. Ignorant ditz. Fortunately no one watches nor cares about the Tonys. Except Kramer....
I guess they don’t teach American History nor politics science at CMU. Sad.
When did Ron become a Democrat?
So the cultural appropriating swish of an actor is unaware the only klansman of recent memory in Congress was lauded democrat Robert Byrd. I am sick of hearing coloreds complaining about the klan. It was a democrat organization, it wasn’t simply to keep coloreds in line, and all its members today are feds. If whites think themselves so superior, and hate blacks so much, why are there so many of them? If 75% of the population wanted to do away with 12%, it would be done. Frankly I can not think of one way blacks are systemically oppressed in this country. Name one and I’ll shut up.
Hamilton star, Louis Farrakhan….I’m sorry, excuse me, Denée Benton….
... and some here have exclaimed that DeSantis doesn’t have the baggage of Trump - particularly with women. Don’t be too sure.
Not sure who is expecting to be treated well by democrats, but ok. A fascinating look into the twisted logic of Scott Adams.
Indeed. He just lost the black liberal woman on Broadway vote.
Stoking the flames of Hatred is what Dems do best. There aren’t many arrows in their quiver but this one is their favorite because it has a poison tip.
