We posted already how the audience at “Hamilton” booed Mike Pence who was in attendance for a performance last night. But at the end of the show, the cast made a courageous stand against bigotry and addressed Mike Pence himself from the stage!! The crowd loved it!!

There’s just one little problem – Mike Pence had already left. Awww. BIG FAT FAIL.
Pence left "Hamilton" before cast statement read from stage about "we are a diverse America who are alarmed and anxious" by Trump.

President-elect Trump hasn't seen "Hamilton" or inquired about tickets, producer Jeffrey Seller says, but would be "welcomed to attend."

And now we get to hear a passionate debate as to whether this was “disrespectful” from the side that guffawed at Trump ridiculing everything in sight and the other side that praised the George W. Bush assassination fantasy film. This election just can’t stop being stupid.
