President-elect Donald Trump fired shots at the cast of Hamilton, again.
On Sunday morning, the former reality star renewed his feud with the hit Broadway musical, via Twitter, writing:
The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior

Of course, Hamilton was not the only target. The former reality star also took aim at “Saturday Night Live” and Alec Baldwin, who returned for this week’s show, where they poked fun at what Trump’s first day in the Oval Office might be like.
I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show – nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?

Meanwhile, Baldwin wasn’t having it and fired back with a few words of advice for the 45th president of the United States.
…@realDonaldTrump
Equal time?

As previously reported, Vice President-elect Mike Pence was seated in the audience for Friday night’s performance of Hamilton, where he was greeted with a few words from cast member Brandon Victor Dixon.
“We, sir — 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. “We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”
The audience gave a standing ovation during the play at the line, “Immigrants, we get the job done,” one theatergoer, Christy Colburn, wrote on Twitter.
She added: “Crowd went NUTS at King George’s lines ‘when people say they hate you’ & ‘do you know how hard it is to lead?’ He had to stop the song.”
Though reports state Pence exited the theater as Dixon addressed him, Trump demanded an apology.
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!

The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!

Dixon quickly replied in a post of his own: “@realDonaldTrump conversation is not harassment sir. And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen.”
