Another theatergoer w/ Pence at "Hamilton" tells me there was "massive, extended applause at 'Immigrants, we get the job done'" line

I'm at #Hamilton and so is Mike Pence. Crowd booed him like crazy, and gave a standing O at the line "immigrants we get the job done" 1/2

2/2 Crowd went NUTS at King George's lines "when people say they hate you" & "do you know how hard it is to lead?" He had to stop the song.

And they got snarky on Twitter too:
*Mike Pence wants to electrocute gay kids straight*
*Mike Pence gets booed at Hamilton*
"Well that's just disrespectful"

Mike Pence got booed while going to see Hamilton. On the plus side, he's now seen black and Latino people in real life.

Reminder that the current star of Hamilton is the incomparable Javier Muñoz, an openly gay, openly HIV-positive actor. Pay attention, Pence.

I have no idea what their point is. Is Mike Pence against gays performing art? Morans.
Mike Pence went to Hamilton. He got booed. NYT reporters tut-tutting on twitter.
Inability to criticize authority becoming normalized.

Right now a gay, HIV positive man is performing as Alexander Hamilton in front of Mike Pence. Pearls before the lowest of swine.

But on the other hand:
