Did you hear Trump and Pence were not to happy about the cast of "Hamilton" on Broadway last night?

After their performance, the cast stood behind one of it's members and gave a message to Pence and the Trump administration, after they welcomed him. They hoped that Trump realizes we are diverse, as we are on this stage. They want him to honor their rights and freedom.

    Hello M:

    Trump and his crew DON'T understand free speech..  The Constitution is under assault.  This doesn't bode well for our country..  I went to war once to protect our freedoms..  I'll DO IT AGAIN..

    @Excon, exactly! Freedom of speech and those who communicate with it are always under fire from tyrants!

    Gosh, there have been over 400 incidents of bigoted violence since Trump's electoral victory was announced...

    http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/hate-on-the-rise-after-trumps-election

    ...but Trump/Pence have the time/energy to whine about a theater troupe asking them to protect ALL Americans from violence?

    Here's about as kind a response as I can muster:

    @Old School, OMG, that was funny! I love Jon Stewart! Twitter is tearing this story up! That's what Trump likes. Kanye West is also trying to get publicity, saying he supports Trump. But it's not working. Amazing what people chose to talk about! Wasting time...I'm sure.

    it was a really good 
    speech embracing diversity. I applaud them.
    ...Look at the people that are being picked for Trumps cabinet.
    Most are backing his lack of awareness
    and are white nationalists not in support of diversity,
    just like Trump. Trumps tweet that they were rude to Pence
    is really sad and just exemplifies his lack of awareness.
    ...there is a guy that has predicted each president for years and years,
    don't know his name but he predicted Trump for President as well,
    and also predicted that he will be impeached.

  • I heard Trump invested in a Broadway production of Martin Luther King's life where MLK was played by a white guy.

    @Bromi, I wouldn't put it past him. I've heard of Kent State University performing this play, "The Mountaintop", about MLK, Jr., with a white actor as MLK. Maybe not totally white, but not black. Author Katiri Hall, was totally outraged! 

    Says much about Kent State. They once shot some of their white students protesting the Vietnam war.

  • So why can Jefferson be played by a black actor?

    @Bromi, Jefferson fathered many children with his slave, Sally Hemings. They are all considered black, although some look white.  There are many descendants are still living in the US.

    @Bromi, Trump and Pence were not upset who played what part in the play. It was about sending the Trump administration a message about diversity in the country. Trump thought that was rude. He wants all white supremacists running the country. After all, they won!

    Methink Trump typically over-reacted and this is another sign of his intolerance.
