A talk of comics somehow translates to our favorite crazy people on the subway

The cast of Broadway show "Hamilton" deliver a message to Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Abridged, it went “We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us ... we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us..." Since the event the backlash from GOP supporters has been overwhelming. Twitter responses fell into two camps: Those who cheered the cast for voicing their concerns so directly and those who found the exchange inappropriate. Loudest was President-elect Donald Trump, who said that the cast members had “harassed” Pence with “cameras blazing” and demanded they apologize. “The Theater must always be a safe and special place,” Ironically the one seemingly LEAST upset is the VP-elect himself. Pence said afterwards he was not offended by the events and declined to ask for an apology as the President-elect demanded.
