Trump: Pence 'harassed' by 'Hamilton' cast | News Article
US President-elect Donald Trump

Washington - President-elect Donald Trump accused the "Hamilton" cast Saturday of harassing Vice President-elect Mike Pence at a performance Friday evening after the actors called on Pence to "uphold our American values".


"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!" Trump tweeted Saturday morning.

He followed up: "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!"

Cast member, Brandon Dixon, who portrays Aaron Burr in the Broadway show and delivered the statement to Pence during the curtain call, soon replied on Twitter, "@realDonaldTrump conversation is not harassment, sir. And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen."
