NightSide - Was The Hamilton Cast Out Of Line?

BOSTON (CBS) - On Friday night, Vice President-elect Mike Pence was in the audience for a performance of the smash Broadway hit Hamilton: An American Musical. After the show, during the curtain call, one member of the cast delivered a message to the future Vice President about being a leader for all Americans, of every race, religion, and sexual orientation. The short speech (less than a minute and a half) has sparked strong reactions from many, including our next President. President-elect Trump has been tweeting his criticisms of the cast for harassing Pence and violating the safe space that theater is apparently supposed to provide. Do you have a problem with our next President going after the cast over their short post-show speech? Or is he right that they were way out of line?

Originally broadcast November 21st, 2016.
