Broadway World has learned that a Trump supporter interrupted the Saturday evening performance of Hamilton in Chicago. An audience member seated in the balcony allegedly shouted "We won! You Lost! Get over it! F*ck you!" during the number "Dear Theodosia."
One Twitter user who attended the show alleges that the audience member also shouted profanities and had an altercation with security before being removed from the auditorium.
One Facebook user wrote "At the end, the performers were crying... so was I. They didn't break characters once. They still sang their hearts out."
Later there there was an update that what seemed to incense the man was this line from the play, "immigrants, we get the job done," and the cheers which followed.
The man also admitted that he was intoxicated at the time, which I am sure is a condition that a lot of Trump supporters will share as they finally come to learn just who they put into the White House.
I guess that this is the country that we live in today.
A country where people rudely interrupt a popular stage show, and act out in anger when confronted with knowledge of the contributions made by immigrants to this great nation.
Trump has given the racists, fascists reason to come out from under their rocks and reek havoc, something we have not seen since the 50's, 60's.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't wait for Donnie Little Fingers, the musical. You know it's going to happen.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think it will. I think artists and plain-speakers will soon be afraid. With good reason.
Delete@ 6:33
DeleteUnited we stand against the bullies.
I don't think they are going to be afraid at all, that is doing their job for them.
If we weren't a country that welcomes immigrants Donald Trump would not be here, in all likelihood. He was born here, but none of his grandparents were born in the US. That makes his a "pretty recent" American family.
ReplyDeletehttp://genealogy.about.com/od/famous_family_trees/p/trump.htm
And, I bet the same is true of many of his most vocal and obnoxious supporters.
We are all from immigrants. How dare them be so anti-immigrant. Just shows how stupid they all are. Is this the result of our public education or were they all home schooled and taught nothing about this country.
Trump's mother was an immigrant. Based on his family history, according to Crazy Coulter, he shouldn't have been allowed to vote.
DeleteOur country has been 'dumbed down' there is no doubt about it! Just look around you and talk to others...it's so apparent and shocking!
DeleteThe Trump supporters especially!
6:26, I would have agreed with you had you said the majority of us instead of ALL.
DeleteI do believe you forgot the indigenous peoples. Also, I don't really know if one can identify the slaves who were forcefully brought here as "immigrants", which implies voluntary travel. And, NO, that is not a racial slur or attack. It is merely a question.
Are they citizens now? Most definitely! I'm just not sure we should call them immigrants.
I understand, though, your intent.

DeleteThey no longer understand their responsibilities as electors beyond voting the party line.
None of them are historians or have studied Alexander Hamilton or the Federalist Papers.
I'm sure quite a few are more than happy to have Nazis and Fascists in Drumpf's cabinet.
Online petitions are a waste of time. They give you a false sense of having done something.
Why not just "pray" for them?
Not only is the Donald from a pretty "new" American family, if he hadn't married two immigrants he wouldn't have 3 of his 4 the children. So, his first 3 and last children are first generation American citizens. How lucky they are, and now the family would deny the same dreams of a better life to millions? OMG, the irony and the greed!!.
ReplyDeleteError above -- it should say he wouldn't have 4 of his 5 children (Ivanka, Donald Jr and Eric with Ivana, with immigrant wife #1, and Barron, with immigrant wife #2). Poor Tiffany is the only one with two "american" parents. Makes his anti-immigrant beliefs even more atrocious.
DeleteYou mean four of his five kids. Did u forget Tiffany like the trump family does or Baron since he is staying in New York. And let's not forget The donald's grandfather was a pimp.
DeleteYou said it.

"“Right now, this administration-to-be… is on the precipice,” he said. “It can pick people like General Mattis and Mitt Romney, and move this in one direction. Or they can pick henchmen who’ve taken money from terror groups in the past. If they go that direction, if they go the Giuliani-Kobach way, it’s going to be a meltdown.”"
She's out. Her name and that of the other women are in there for show.
DeleteHe'll choose a man and it will be one of his rich CEO friends with something to gain in oil, natural gas, wood or energy transfer or it will be a long time toadying politician.
It doesn't matter that Palin has no experience or brains. She has no influence. She had no money and she has no political clout.
She is a bigot, so she has that going for her. She's also stupid and malleable enough to allow Donald Jr. to call the shots. That's in her favor.
Rather than reading Trump's Twitter critiques of Broadway plays and late night TV comedy, I would like to hear him address the ongoing bombing of hospitals in Aleppo. Surely by now he knows where Aleppo is.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't bet the farm .He probably thinks it's a brand of dog food.
DeleteWe are all immigrants, or the children of immigrants, unless we are Native Americans.
ReplyDeleteAll those white supremecists, who have nothing to feel superior about except the color of their skin, are probably the offspring of dirt-poor immigrants who came over here to try to scrabble out a better life than the one they could find in their native lands. Nothing to feel superior about. If their ancestors had stayed home, they'd be living in huts and milking the master's cows.
Why are these poor sods so angry? Their candidate won.
ReplyDeleteBut for them I guess its like winning a hundred pounds of chocolate, eating it and immediately getting days long diarrhea.
Oh, that's what Kellyanne Conway meant, we have long short-shits for appointments in the Trumprez administration. Yes, that it.

Watching The Today Show, dRumpf with Melania at his said, "we have explained to Barron as best we can" that Daddy is president. What 10-year-old doesn't understand what POTUS is? Not poking fun; autistic grandsons of my own.
ReplyDeleteWhen does the Secretary Of The Interior Palin announcement come out? She's ready for her close up, Mr. DeMille.
Wow, that daddy quote strikes me as odd. Barron is 10 and will be 11 in March. He is now more than 10 ½ years of age. He is in 4th grade. When I was 10 I was in 5th grade, not 4th, and I was in 6th grade when 11. Kids who were 9 started 4th grade and a good number of them turned 10 in the spring and entered 5th grade as 10-year-olds. I know some people hold a kid back a year, and it seems to be more common today. Fine. But whether in 4th or 5th grade, what kid who is more than 10 1/2 years old doesn’t understand what has happened with the running for president and getting elected. I'm not expecting him to understand things that teenagers and adults understand. But at his age I would not have needed my mom and dad to talk to me that way about things. At his age I had been a babysitter and done laundry and helped cook holiday dinners. And I went to school at a public school. This kid has all the resources in the world for growth and yet seems to comprehend more like a 7 or 8-year-old and to be treated as such.
DeletePoor Baby Barron is autistic, thanks to daddy's abbynormal sperm.
DeletePoor guy. I feel for him . Bad enough having Trump and a soft porn escort for a mom.... he is also clearly autistic. All the money in the world coyldn't change that.
I think that Donald and Melania need to be truthful to the American people about their son Barron. No one would want anything but the best for a child with disabilities. But to pretend that everything is just fine leaves the child open to all sorts of unpleasantness, mostly based on ignorance. Is the family silence based on shame? It should not be - the disability is not the child's fault. Maybe Melania could decide that her "first lady cause" would be helping the general public better understand and provide better care for people with disabilities.
DeleteBeaglemom
What does 'autistic' look like 10:46 AM?
DeleteI have no clue as I've never been around a child w/autism. What makes it apparent? Facial expression - non facial expression - starring - no blinking????
Based on the complete silence on Trump's Twitter about the recent shootings of police officers I guess it's safe to assume that the perpetrators were white.
ReplyDeleteDon't know. Know only about one suspect, a black man who entered a police station and asked a question (the cops haven't revealed what that was) and left twenty seconds later. Several hours later, he shot a cop dead.
DeleteYeah, usually if the suspect is light in color--and not assumed to be or discovered to be Muslim--there's not much said.

Domestic Violent Women Beater's mother must not have taught her drunk son what goes around comes around... One day when her son is sleeping, his victims will beat the crap out of him.
Sexually promiscuous daughter's mother must not have taught her daughter to keep her panties up.
They said Sarah's first born was a premature baby but others said she was pregnant when she eloped. Her daughter had two babies from two different fathers before getting married. Son had a quickie wedding on the side of a road and he too had a baby that suddenly appeared. Now he planted another fetus and was not married to the fetus's mother at the time he kicked the shit out of her.
So Sarah about all your grandkids, what goes around comes around...
So much for Sarah telling others "What goes around comes around". She needs to tell her kids first about that lesson.
Thou shalt not disparage Queen Esther II.
DeleteSent by God himself to save us from our ills.
"The proof is in the pudding”. The Palin kids are the perfect example of this axiom.
Deletelol let's try not to lie. None of her kids are immoral. They're highly slandered and they stand up for themselves when they're bullied. I mean for one , sarahs never said any of the kids but trig was preemie. Bristols never been immoral and that's highly sexist of you anyway. Esp since her ex wanted to marry 3 different girls in 2010 alone.
DeleteYour lies aren't changing good people's bright futures.
7:59 AM It is immoral to stalk Gryphen like you do. It is immoral for you to take advantage of your elderly parents like you do. It is immoral for you to appoint yourself as Bristol Palin's spokesperson, when you don't know her and have never even met her.
Delete"What goes around comes around"? Todd learned that from his ass whipping/phantom snowmobile accident. The Palins all learned that from the drunken birthday brawl. Can the Palins go a full year without a scandal, or a new bastard birth?
Delete7:59 AM You obviously know zero about the Palin klan for the past ten years in Alaska.
DeleteSarah and Todd's adult kids have been in massive trouble most of their lives and none of them have ever held regular jobs as do the majority their ages in Alaska or America!
The entire family (to include Sarah and Todd) are poorly educated and have shown it time and time again in their words and deeds.
Plus, none of them (except for Todd when he worked on the North Slope many years ago for an oil company - in labor type work) actually work and hold jobs. They are living off Sarah and her money is diminishing according to the reports she has to file.
It is not fun being a Palin and I seriously doubt anyone would want to walk in their shoes!
They have brought it all on themselves and have taught their children to follow in their footsteps. Going to be interesting seeing where they all are ten years from now! Their family will be huge as they show themselves to be good at making babies. Those poor kids being born into that family!
That "eye for an eye" thing is one of the nastiest parts of christianity.

Because each and every flipping day, it just seems to get worse.
To attend Hamilton, an American Musical, is a dream that my 9 year old daughter and I would do anything to make happen.
That a drunk (supposedly) Trump supporter would stomp all over it in that way is simply...deplorable. For lack of a better word.
And to excuse it with being drunk.
And to not have Donald Trump, who is making a complete mockery out of the presidency, condemn it and speak out against it is simply that...deplorable.
Hell, he probably paid the guy to do it.
Disgusting. And so very disheartening. Each and every day, it's something else.
How will we make it through 4 years of this man? Who on earth thinks he's going to change his spots and become a person of moral character, virtue, ethics...in essence, a man fit to be President????
every flipping day, it just seems to get worse.
DeleteSEEMS? STOP the madness starting Dec19th.
I don't think Trump has ANY morals! Check his history that hasn't been obliterated as yet!
DeleteThere is NO way the knowledgeable Americans would support or respect the man.
He's pure evil as what he is doing to our country and it's only just begun. Be prepared and protected!
The drunk also ruined the play for the other audience members.
DeleteImmigrants have made all the contributions there are to make to this nation. But this nation is not great. It's a piece of shit. It produced and elected D Trump because of its intractable racism.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd rather be here than in Aleppo right now, but that's now saying much.

It's a lost cause at this point. One of the first things Herr Trump will do is continue work on the pipeline, he has to ,he owns stock in the company.

All those racists in this administration would not be spreading their hate.
All the minorities who were not allowed to live in those racists New York apartments would have had a home to live in.
All the women who had their vaginas grabbed and were sexually abused would not have all this drama in their lives.
All the people who were conned into attending a fake university and used their savings to make a better life for their families would not have to sue to get their money back.
All the American people who were contracted to do work would not have been screwed over.
Illegal immigrants would not have been screwed over and paid lower wages.
Russians would not have been involved in our election.
All this and more would not have happened if we were a nation who kicks out immigrants.

If a certain mayor didn't force poor girls and families in Wasilla from having to purchase rape kits then there would have been some type of sexual assault deterrent.
DeleteIt's a very sad world out in Western Alaska. Until certain social mores change within their culture this will continue just as it has for centuries.
DeleteAlcohol and drug abuse have heightened the occurrences but familial rape and abuse is simply part of a culture, not that it excuses it but it is going to take a lot of time fix it, and only if native leaders want to fix it and want to help to fix it.
There is hopelessness in these villages that stems from poverty and abuse, that is why the suicide rate is so high.
The Anchorage sexual assaults stem from a whole different set of causes, more like what you find in other cities nationwide; domestic abuse fueled by alcohol and bad decisions. As you can see from the statistics very few sexual assaults happen between strangers.

ReplyDeleteCRAZY
Stark contrast to Trump was Mr. Pence's own reaction to how he was greeted. He was actually tolerant, praised the show and cast and said something along the lines of "that is what freedom sounds like" -- the boos and cheers. While I really dislike his POV on so many things, reading about what he had to say on this issue was really refreshing. His "boss" should pay attention and just let Mr. Pence do is own talking and reacting.
DeleteWant to bet that the (little) 25 million is covered by insurance? Drumpf pays LITTLE or nothing EVER.

If a certain mother had placed her kids first they would have a college education instead of hawking some type of drinks. Hawking sweatshirts, trinkets in a box, embarrassing themself humping on a dance floor and wearing a gorilla outfit. They would not be known for fighting when drunk, breaking and entering, dropping out of school, having all these trial husbands. Famous for running off with campaign clothes and ransacking a Red Cross gift suite. Embarrassing the family with SarahPac that appears to be going belly up. Having all her family failed reality shows.
Pretty sad a multimillionaire didn't pay for her children's college education.
DeleteI wonder if Drump makes fun of his autistic son the way he did with the disabled reporter? Kinda like Sarah with the "Hand me the baby... not the retarded one."
DeleteYup. Family first Sarah. Just like Trig. Only Melanoma did actually birth that boy. She seems to spend time with him and has seen to having the autism managed whereas .....
Never mind Sarah. You would not get it.
Got to hand it to Melania though. She is a better looking and more successful porn star than you ever were, Sarah. And she looks like something a momma cat dragged in.
Sarah Palin wants us to believe that she deals with some of the same issues as Melania. However we know that Sarah did little to help her "adopted" son Trig especially when he was very small and would have benefitted so much from the proper therapies, which were available to her and which she could have afforded. With the Trumps, as with the Palins, one wonders why they did not put the child's welfare first - why put politics above family?
