Noah Rothman:
Notice, the president was not asked whether the right of freedom of assembly in America had been repealed, although that was the question he chose to answer. By contrast, Donald Trump was nowhere near as evasive when he was pressed to respond to reports regarding acts of bigoted violence and vandalism conducted in his name. “I am so saddened to hear that, and I say stop it if it helps,” Trump told his interlocutor when informed of racist vandalism committed allegedly by his supporters. “I will say this, and I’ll say it right to the camera: stop it.”
There have been acts of violence from Trump’s opponents in the wake of his election. There were documented assaults on Trump supporters, violent riots in the streets of cities like Indianapolis and Portland, Oregon, and shootings. There have been mass arrests at protests and assaults on law enforcement. These are not disputable, and it was incumbent on Barack Obama to call for calm. But he did nothing.

I appreciated what one of Bruce Springstein’s band members said about the lecturing from the stage to VP-elect Pence.
He called it BULLYING.

And it is.
There was no ”dialogue,” as the actor tried to claim.
And his past included calling on black men to rape white women who drink too much on St Patty’s Day.
He’s a RACIST and a BULLY.

Ironically Alexander Hamilton is the Father of The Electoral College System.
A direct descendant of Hamilton excoriated the cast: http://thetruthdivision.com/2016/11/boom-direct-descendant-alexander-hamilton-writes-scathing-letter-hamilton-cast/
Had the casting call included whites and encouraged previous acting ability, this cast would be completely different. (BETTER)
Meanwhile Mike Pence was angelic!
He even recommended the play to others!
Mobs of unruly thugs commiting acts of vioelnce aganist everybody they need to be not only arrested but giving 50 years and made to pay resititution to their victims and when their sentence is finished they must leave america and never ever return
I would look into whether anything on Broadway is receiving National Endowment for the Arts funds. Then yank them.
I believe that the play will die on its own given the free market. Patrons do not go to a play to be lectured. They go for enjoyment and release from the stresses of life. When that fails to happen, they seek enjoyment and release elsewhere.
They made a big movie about the Obama s called SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU and it BOMBED oh golly what made the stupid direrctor and producer think americans(And the World)would want to see some movie about this nations all time worst presisdents in its entire history
@Randy: THESE people love that. They LOVED that chicken$hit, low-blow, cheap-shot of taking someone that cannot respond without being severely criticized and giving them a lecture about concerns and fears that exist only in their closed and shuttered mind.
It matters not one whit that this blathering, self-important fool himself is part of a cast that excluded “whites” from participating and trolls for white women. This crowd loves hypocrisy for they sense power in being able to say whatever they like and never be held responsible for their lies.
This is what a Republican gets when they venture into the “inclusive” world of liberalism, trying to bridge a gap between the conservative right and the liberal, elitist left, via enjoying the “arts”. When Republicans get tired of the ridicule of testing that “inclusiveness”, then they will be criticized for not reaching out.
@Spurwing Plover: These people do not understand their own audience. To get their lemmings to come out and imbibe in their propaganda, they can’t charge admission. They have to PAY them to come, take a bus and pick them up, carry them to the venue, hand them their soda and popcorn and pay them to go inside. Just like Hillary could not gather a crowd unless she could have at least two rock stars on stage as well.
