Donald Trump says "Apologize!" after 'Hamilton' speech to Mike Pence
As you may have heard, Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton on Broadway, which ended in Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the show, delivering a speech to Pence from the stage:
We, sir — 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. We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.

Donald Trump apparently considered this “harassment” and “very rude” and said the theater should be a “safe and special place.” He also demanded that the cast of Hamilton “apologize!” Here’s the President-elect’s tweets:
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!
