President-elect Donald Trump demanded an apology from the cast of “Hamilton” after his second-in-command, Mike Pence, was singled out following a performance of the Broadway hit.
“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 said Saturday on Twitter from his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he’s meeting with several administration hopefuls and members of his transition committee.
