........................

Trump demanded that the cast apologize in two tweets sent out Saturday morning: “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!,” Trump wrote. “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!”

Dixon replied, “Conversation is not harassment sir. And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen.”

An account with the handle @TheGOPReport wrote, “Completely inappropriate for the cast of #Hamilton to address Mike Pence like this. Not the time or the place. Time to #BoycottHamilton.”




...................Jillian Michaels joked, “For everyone who is going to #BoycottHamilton my family, friends, & I will fall on the sword & take your tickets. #wegotyou”

John Legend wrote, “If #boycotthamilton goes like #boycottbeyonce I’m gonna start #boycottjohnlegend. S— seems lucrative.”.......................

And right-wingers have been making snide remarks about "safe spaces" for years.

The very idea of Donald Trump demanding polite behavior, from anybody, under any circumstances.

I'd suspect him of trying to deflect attention from his Trump U settlement....but I don't think he or any of his people are that bright.....

So they said Pence was not born here? So they called him a liar at the state of the union?
What babies! All that was said was, see us - we are all Americans.


We are constitutionally allowed to speak up to our leaders. That is truly freedom of speech.

EWWWW, they are ridiculous.

Pence should have stood up and told them that he respects all Americans and he will work to make this a better country for us all.

But no. Trump has to cry about it. What a chump!

Since I live 500 miles away and can't possibly afford the tickets, I don't have much choice. Such is the reasoning of these ersatz Broadway activists as well.

Also on my list is giving up bowling for New Years.

Let's boycott Starbucks by buying more Starbucks! Let's boycott a musical that's sold out for 2 years because they're disrespecting the VP! And they're calling *US* immature because we won't support Trump.

Grow -up for once, just wait and see what the signs look like on 1/20/2017 and on 1/21/2017.

And the public is going to be shown the sanitized version, no signs no, protests, nothing to make look all like its been "normalized" ask Jeff Zucker and his team, then ask Les Mooves, and then MSNBC with there coffee "guy".

Hey facists do you remember this song, I am sending to him your world of insensitivity and empathy you lack with a tad of for you, because I have no love for you and your "gang", and we will met you head on in every criminal enterprise you put forth to hurt seniors and disable and the working people

Because this my sacasum song to you---enjoy

The tractor pull executives must be drooling with the promise of increased revenues.

Gotta love Donald Trump and his minions, demanding a "safe space" at theaters.
