Donald Trump has continued to call for an apology from the Hamilton cast into Sunday morning. On Friday night, Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of the highly successful hip-hop-inspired play, at the end of which, actor Brandon Victor Dixon spoke on behalf of the cast, directly addressing Pence, and raising concerns he and many others had with Trump's vision for the country. "We 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," he said.

Trump later called this direct address of pence "very rude" as well as likening it to harassment, and this morning has shared further thoughts on Twitter. "The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior,' he wrote.


Trump reportedly tweeted and quickly deleted another thought Saturday afternoon, where he criticized Dixon for not memorizing his statement.

While he has continued to criticize the cast's speech, Trump has yet to actually address their concerns. He also shared some thoughts on SNL, who ran another skit on the President-elect starring Alec Baldwin Saturday night. He called the show "one sided" and "[not] funny at all."
