President-Elect Donald Trump's Been At War With 'Hamilton' All Weekend
So Mike Pence attended ‘Hamilton’ on Friday night. That’s the Broadway play about Alexander Hamilton that’s done in the form of a rap or something. Anyway, Pence showed up and all kinds of drama ensued.
First, he was boo’d.

Pretty funny, always love a good boo. Don’t care who’s getting boo’d or if they deserve it or not. Then at the end of the play, the cast directly addressed Pence as he was in the alleyway about to leave.

Trump was not happy. Theaters are just too damn dangerous these days.
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!

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!

He also snuck in a nice little “overrated” jab.
The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior

And for good measure he took a swing at SNL.
I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show – nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?

Gotta love when our President-Elect is able to wrestle his twitter account away from Kellyanne Conway. Also gotta love that Pence didn’t even give a shit.
.@mike_pence: I really enjoyed watching Hamilton. It was a real joy to be there. I heard a few boos. I wasn't offended by what was said.
