Cast of Hamilton Calls Out VP-Elect Mike Pence in the Audience. The Donald Fumes.
In case you missed it, here’s what happened at the end of the performance of Hamilton in New York on Friday night. VP-elect Mike Pence was in the audience, so the cast thought they’d deliver a message.
The audience was into it.
Donald Trump was not happy. This tweet has had more than 100,000 likes.
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!

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!

And here are some of the responses:
@realDonaldTrump hahaha a cast of diverse people asking your administration to work for them would seem like harassment to you and your team

@ronnypascale it’s my understanding that the crowd booed him and the cast stopped them and expressed their concerns, is that not right?

@dj_finney if the haters actually listened to the words and tone, it was a very loving all-inclusive speech.

@realDonaldTrump you consider that harassment and yet you refuse to condemn racist violence by your own supporters?

But the best part? Pence says he “wasn’t offended.”
