Theres a reason why the GOP has more control now than they have in the past 80 years. They have won overwhelmingly the past 2 elections. More and more people are getting tired of the liberal agenda. To be honest a rap play about the founding fathers sounds terrible. I know its been a huge success, just not something id spend a couple hundred bucks to sit through. Book of Mormon on the other hand....brilliant!

Horsecrap! I didn't vote for Trump/Pence but this was childish and petty. More proof that the left in this country is completely intolerant.
Can you imagine the liberal outrage if a politician were booed out of a theatre in the south because he voted for gay marriage?

Overwhelming? Trump got less votes than both McCain or Romney when they lost while 43-47% of eligible voters didn't even vote and Trump lost the popular vote so get a grip.

Exactly!
The left isn't doing itself any favors! Instead doing some self reflection and understanding why they are losing support, they are doubling down on the very things that are turing people off.

The audience was booing Pence - not the cast. The cast member addressed Pence after the performance was finished, and hushed the booing from the audience. The cast member's comments were calm and very reasonable and did not in any way insult Mr. Pence. I find it ironic, however, that President-elect Trump tweeted afterwards that "The Theater must always be a safe and special place". Who knew that Republicans needed their safe spaces too?

TrumpPence uniters?....not by any strech of evidence thus far...
Jeez, is this gay/lesbian stuff all you people think about?

There are far, far more important issues that affect more people than this fringe little element.

They got their marriage. Leave them alone now, no one really cares. Trump and Pence do not care about that crap! I'm sure that was just Indiana politics.

Trump of course throughout his campaign showing nothing but the most exemplary behaviour and class.

If you make your pitch wrapped in the thick veneer of hatred and bigotry, and like Pence make it the lynch-pin of your political career, would you think it now your right to expect class and respect from the peasant class?

The country is being turned into two disparate and polarized camps of ideological stupidity and it can only get worse until your stop this petty bickering and meet somewhere in the middle on some of the more important issues facing the nation.

Until then you can expect that those who've enjoyed all the privilege America has to offer, experiencing some of the negative blow-back causing them some discomfort.

Tough nuggies; preaching hatred and divisiveness can often result in your linen table cloths coming back from the laundry with Chit stains.
