Mike Pence Gets "Boo'd" at HAMILTON Tonight — Page 10

The cast asked for the audience to stop the booing, thanked Pence for being there, and wished that the show inspired him to be an inclusive leader. But that is 'embarrassing' and 'shaming'?

Either you have unbelievably thin skin, or you're intentionally mischaracterizing what happened..



How is the incident being mischaracterized? The cast made sure it was filmed so it could go viral!

Pence was there as an audience member. He was not there in any official capacity as the Vice President elect. He did not make any statement about the play, cast or production. The cast had no right to single him out with a statement. Brandon Victor Dixon wanted a moment in the spotlight.

I agree with the statement in Trump's tweet that Mike Pence was harassed by the cast. This should not have happened.

Has the cast apologized yet?

The cast will not be apologizing.

fbueller, you can continue to ask every few posts, if you have nothing better to do with your time,

but I promise you that you (and Trump) will be waiting for that apology a lot longer than Trump and Pence (or any of us) will be alive, never mind still holding office.

no one has to apologize to scum of the earth.

Also, how ironic of Trump to say that the theatre is supposed to be a 'safe place' --- the theatre , and the arts, in general, has always been a safe space for people who are discriminated and devalued and dehumanized by idiotic, crass, rich, white supremacy elitist LIKE him and Pence. he really is spewing more crap with every passing day.

In public office you are always that role...he doesn't get time off from his title. BVD didn't want attention, this was a collaborative effort.



They made a plea, not harassment.



Free Speech. Funny when people want to say hateful things, they love free speech....until it's used against them.

"The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated,"



It's good that he's heard that. It means that the truth has been getting out there. Now even more people will hear it.

Keep spreading the news.

Ok.. he's team really needs to take his Twitter away from him again.

Dude, shut up, keep your head down and focus on your transition work ! That's more important than arguing with a Broadway show.

His team knows this is a great distraction from the $25,000,000 fraud case he just settled.

"Just because they're "famous" doesn't mean they're immune to the policies and laws put forth by the government. "



Just because they're famous doesn't mean that they are superior morally or intellectually to anyone else, or that their celebrity gives them the right to lecture and talk down to anybody else, or that their pronouncements have even the slightest worth. Their egomania, arrogance and conceit are often matched only by their cluelessness and rank stupidity.

These performers will be parents one day, can you imagine how fragile their kids will be growing up. BTW, it really is a Highly Overrated show no doubt there. If it weren't for Social Media I'm quite sure they would have posted closing notices months ago, but it is what it is right ?



"
What does it matter if they were crying? The same thing happens in the Broadway production, and has happened in the Chicago production before. It's not like the ending of the show is cheery and fun-filled.

Re: Chicago

Imagine if the United States had a foreign nation that it disagreed with on matters of policy, governing and democratic principles. We might try to set an example of love, inclusion and freedom here at home. Imagine if the leader of the foreign nation came to the U.S. to observe our message, and we called him out publicly with some passive aggressive statement and made him feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, and unwelcome. That's not motivated by love and out of a desire for a nation to change. It's motivated by bitterness and hate, and a chance to stick it to the him. When the people of the foreign nation hears about it, they aren't going to think "Oh, they're right! I want to be like them!" They are going to be our enemy and possibly turn hostile towards us.

The Hamilton cast may have set our cause back 4 more years by their form of diplomacy. Eventually we will learn our own lesson that we have tried to preach: LOVE trumps hate.

Pence responds to the incident by encouraging everyone to go and see the show and saying how great it is. That boycott lasted long.
