Donald Trump Demands Apology From Hamilton For “Harassing” Mike Pence

Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers theater in NYC last night, and when the rest of the audience figured out he was there, there was a lot of booing. After the show ended, cast member Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, addressed Pence directly with remarks written by the musical’s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. “We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir,” he said. “But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

Unfortunately, it seems that Pence left the theater a little early, so he didn’t catch the whole thing. And even though Dixon thanked Pence for attending and told the audience not to boo him, Donald Trump isn’t happy about the whole incident, claiming that Pence was “harassed” by the cast of Hamilton and demanding an apology.
