Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton tonight in New York City.

Pence was harassed by the audience… AND the cast..

The audience booed when he entered the theater.

Actor Brandon Dixon lectured the new Vice President-elect on “tolerance.”

“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.”

Now this…

The lead actor Brandon Dixon responded to Trump this morning saying his lecture from the stage was “dialogue.”

Wow!

The Hill reported:

An actor from the Broadway hit “Hamilton” is responding to President-elect Donald Trump’s claim that the show’s cast “harassed” Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Trump tweeted Saturday morning that the Pence “was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.” “Conversation is not harassment sir,” accord Brandon Victor Dixon replied in a tweet. “And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen.”

@realDonaldTrump conversation is not harassment sir. And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen. — Brandon Victor Dixon (@BrandonVDixon) November 19, 2016

What an idiot.

Lecturing a captive audience is NOT dialogue.
