So here is the gist, United States VP-elect Mike Pence attended a showing of the Hamilton show on Broadway. He got booed by the audience.
At the end of the show, Victor Dixon (who plays Aaron Burr in the musical) delivered a message to Mike Pence on behalf of the cast urging Pence (and the Trump administration) to protect our diverse country and the people in it.
President-elect Donald Trump responded to the speech and claimed the cast “harassed” Mike Pence and called for a boycott of the showing.
This didn't go well with Chrissy Teigen who took to Twitter on Saturday to blast president-elect Donald Trump for his overreactive tweets about the whole Hamilton vs Mike Pence situation.
via Variety:
Earlier that morning the president-elect demanded that the cast of the “Hamilton” apologize to Mike Pence who attended the Broadway musical on Friday night and was booed by the audience and addressed by the cast from the stage after the show.
“Wow @realdonaldtrump is right. I can’t believe they would subject poor, innocent Mike Pence to such abhorrent, evil hate speech,” she wrote sarcastically. “Look who wants a f—ing safe space now. The very thing him and his supporters make fun of as liberal political correctness. God, what a POS.”
The model and TV personality rattled off about half a dozen more tweets in one of which she called Trump’s presidency an “inevitable dumpster fire.”
She also referenced what has become frequently-referenced backlash to the amount of attention the ordeal has gotten — that Trump is using the events at “Hamilton” to distract from the fact that he agreed on Friday to pay $25 million to settle a series of lawsuits against Trump University.
“Donald knows very well what he is doing. He knows the Hamilton speech was NBD. He knows his tweet will fire both sides up to distract from the 25 million dollar settlement of yesterday. Most conniving human on planet earth,” she wrote.
Teigen is married to John Legend who also commented on the “Hamilton” situation and the call of Trump supporters to boycott the show.
“If #boycotthamilton goes like #boycottbeyonce I’m gonna start #boycottjohnlegend. S— seems lucrative,” he wrote.
