The Broadway show has been praised for its racially diverse cast with black or Hispanic actors playing either George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers.
Brandon Victor Dixon plays the then-Vice President Aaron Burr addressed Pence at the end of the show. “We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us — our planet, our children, our parents — or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us. All of us.”
What led soon after was a furious debate as well as President-elect Donald Trump demanding an immediate apology to Pence putting an emphasis on Trump's fidelity to First Amendment rights according to Steve Schmidt, a veteran Republican strategist who advised John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.
