“We have a message for you, sir. And we hope that you will hear us out. I encourage everyone to pull out your phones and tweet and post, because this message needs to be spread far and wide.
“Vice President Elect Pence, we welcome you, and we truly welcome you for joining us here at Hamilton: An American Musical. We really do.
“We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your administration will not protect us,
“our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us, or uphold our inalienable rights, sir.
“But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values, and to work on behalf of all of us.
“All. Of. Us.
“Again, we truly thank you for sharing this show. This wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds, and orientations.”
Y’all, take notes, this is the perfect example of why tone policing and respectability politics is B.S.:
Hamilton Cast: *literally thanks Pence for showing up, asks that the administration treats marginalized people like human beings*
Donald Trump: Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen! [X] The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize! [X]
Trump supporters: #BoycottHamilton !!!!1!!!!
Wow, I was honestly expecting the actors to rip Mike Pence a new asshole with all the uproar I was hearing about. Instead, I get this. An incredibly nice “Thank you for coming” and politely asking him to treat us like humans. Almost too fucking nice if you ask me cause he doesn’t deserve it.
Instead, they’re still made out to be these assholes that somehow attacked Pence. Wow.
they were so nice.
I would love to be ‘harassed’ like that.
Arguably it was the audience that was ‘rude’ by booing; but it doesn’t make nearly as nice a soundbite to say “public disapproves of elected official and makes voice heard,” now, does it?
