    Pence: I wasn't offended

    Truly a class act.

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/20/politi...inkId=31370565

    Washington (CNN)Vice President-elect Mike Pence said the boos he faced at the Broadway production of "Hamilton" were "what freedom sounds like."
    Pence also didn't criticize the show's cast for addressing him from the stage after the play's end Friday night, saying he wasn't offended and understood their message.

    "I did hear what was said from the stage. I can tell you I wasn't offended by what was said. I will leave to others whether that was the appropriate venue to say it," he said on "Fox News Sunday."
    Pence's comments come after Donald Trump's Saturday morning Twitter attacks on "Hamilton," accusing the cast of harassing Pence.

    I'm glad he wasn't offended, because I think it was not the time or place to make a political* statement and it was very rude and disrespectful...

    And yes, even if someone had done the same thing to Hillary, I'd feel the same way.

    Whatever happened to respect and civility?

    *And yes, I realize that the play, Hamilton, is a "political" musical.

    I'm glad that Pence made this statement, but they were rude. The audience was rude, the players were rude, not just to him, but everyone else who paid an obscene amount of money to see that show and had the experience marred by juvenile behavior.

    I like Mike Pence. Trump picked the right man for vice-president.
