Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton tonight in New York City.
The audience booed when he entered the theater.
(many also cheered)

Then at the close of the performance actor Brandon Dixon insulted the vice president-elect.
“Vice President elect Pence we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at Hamilton the American musical. We really do. We sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us.”
Seriously?

The lead actor directed lines at Pence saying the new administration “will not welcome them.”

Not everyone was giddy with the hateful welcome.
Pence getting booed at Hamilton bums me out. Whatever you think of him. He’s trying to engage. Could get ideas from far worse places. https://t.co/gn7j25Nuy7

Even far left New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman (a frequent mention in the Podesta Wikileaks emails) said it was disrespectful.
He’s also the VP-elect. A level of disrespect https://t.co/Xgfbb0EpBH
