Talkin' Trump's "Hamilton" And "SNL" Twitter Tirade.
BERMAN: Apparently being elected president is not going to stop the Trump Twitter finger from tapping. This time, target, as we mentioned before the break was "Hamilton." It all started over the weekend when the Vice President-elect Mike Pence went to see the hit Broadway show. When it was over, the cast had a message for him, a call for unity.</s>BRANDON DIXON, ACTOR "HAMILTON": Vice President-elect pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at "Hamilton: An American musical", we really do. We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our families, 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.</s>BERMAN: Donald Trump wasn't pleased and wrote a series of tweets saying that Pence was harassed, the cast was very rude and quote, "The cast and producers of "Hamilton," which I hear is highly overrated should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior." Now, Mike Pence was not bothered by the cast statement, he said the show was great and that went some of the audience booed or cheered, he niches kid said, that's what freedom sounds like.</s>MIKE PENCE, VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT OF UNITED STATES: I wasn't offended by what was said, I'll leave it to others whether it was the appropriate venue to say it. But I want to assure if people who were disappointed in the election results, people are feeling anxious about this time in the life of our nation and President-elect Donald Trump meant exactly what he said on election night, that he is going to be the president of all of the people of the United States of America.</s>BERMAN: As for the president-elect's demand for an apology, the "Hamilton" actor who delivered the message said, Brandon Dixon said, there's nothing to apologize for.</s>DIXON: We are here together and we need to listen to one another and speak with one another, and those of us who feel like maybe their voice had been marginalized or might become marginalize, mean is important that they recognize that there are allies all over the place.</s>BERMAN: You know, this could be just the kind of publicity this little show needs to get off the ground. Ever since Election Day, we've been reaching out to voters across the country getting their take on Donald Trump, his plan and the daily controversy surrounding him as president-elect. Tonight the "Hamilton" fracas as seen just south of Atlanta. Our Gary Tuchman reports.</s>GARY TUCHMAN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: In places like Coweta County, Georgia, where Donald Trump did very well on Election Day, there is great awareness of Trump, his Twitter account, and the Broadway musical, "Hamilton." Donald Trump spent so much time campaigning and talking about being tough, being tough on tyrants, tough on terrorism. Does it strike you as unusual that he's so offended by theater people?</s>TAMMY PROSSER, TRUMP SUPPORTER: I just think that's Trump.</s>TUCHMAN: Here in the county seat of Noonan, many Trump voters sound as angry as he does about what happened to Mike Pence during his night in the theater. Had you heard of the play "Hamilton" before?</s>JAY BOREN, TRUMP SUPPORTER: I have.</s>TUCHMAN: OK, have you -- did you have seen it?</s>BOREN: No, I haven't.</s>TUCHMAN: Would you want to see it?</s>BOREN: Probably not.</s>TUCHMAN: I mean after this incident?</s>BOREN: Not after this incident.</s>TUCHMAN: So you don't feel good about it?</s>BOREN: No, not at all.</s>TUCHMAN: Donald Trump says, the theater must always be a safe and special place. The cast of "Hamilton" was very rude last might to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize. Do you think that was a good thing for him to tweet?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Absolutely. I love it. Yeah, he should, he has the right to do that. Yeah, and I thought Pence acted with a lot of class.</s>TUCHMAN: But I think Pence didn't say anything, its Donald Trump speaking out about it. But do you think Donald Trump should be using Twitter to complain about theater people?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's good media. You know, I don't tweet. I just don't take a time to do that.</s>TUCHMAN: But you don't think it's perhaps a little childish to be doing that?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, no, not all why would I think that?</s>MORGAN PROSSER, TRUMP SUPPORTER: I mean that's Trump, that's what he's known for. I mean he's a vocal person. It's not changed and see this campaigning and it's not change for now, I mean he won based on being different from other politicians.</s>TUCHMAN: And then there's Trump's tweet about being made fun of on "Saturday Night Live," the president-elect calling the show totally one-sided and biased.</s>BOBBIE CARR, TRUMP SUPPORTER: Every time I turn it on, they're making fun of him.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Google, what is ISIS?</s>TUCHMAN: That is "SNL" has been joking at the expense of every president since it went on the air in the days of Gerald Ford's presidency. Why is a bias show, but it's not a news show, its comedy. Comedies suppose to be a -- they made fun of presidents all the way back to Gerald Ford.</s>CARR: Yeah, well, I don't watch it, you know.</s>TUCHMAN: But it's not OK ...</s>CARR: It's not fine.</s>TUCHMAN: But do you think it's OK that Trump tweets that?</s>CARR: Yeah, yeah, I think it's all right, he wants to tweet that.</s>TUCHMAN: It doesn't seem unpresidential?</s>CARR: No, not this day in time.</s>TUCHMAN: But not all who voted for Trump here support all his Twitter battles.</s>STEPHANIE CARNEY, TRUMP SUPPORTER: He's not the president-elect. He needs to start treating that position with the respect that comes with it. He's no longer a free agent to go out and spew what he wants to -- on Twitter, and I was hoping that when he was elected, that he would take that to heart.</s>TUCHMAN: As a businessman, as a presidential candidate, Donald Trump's Twitter feed served to inform, enthrall, entertain, and infuriate. And as president-elect, it continues to do so. Speaking his mind has served him well, say so many here.</s>BOREN: I agree with what he's saying, and now he, you know, I think that the vice president and the president-elect should better respect that they're getting.</s>BERMAN: Gary joins us now from Atlanta. So Gary, did any of the people you spoke would think it was notable that the man who, this was all directed at Mike Pence didn't really complain about it?</s>TUCHMAN: And most of the Trump voters we talk to John, do think it's notable and think it's admirable. They like the fact that Mike Pence is diplomatic, they like that he is the yin to Donald Trump's yang. And I asked people, if they think though it's strange that, you know, this happening to Mike Pence's who say nothing about it, he just saying good things, and Donald Trump is all upset about it, and they're saying, no maybe a little strange, but that's Donald Trump, that's the guy we're used to. That's the guy we've voted for. John.</s>BERMAN: Gary Tuchman, thanks so much. There's a lot more ahead on our next hour of "360," including Donald Trump unveiling his agenda for the first days in office and what he's planning to focus on and not do in their days. Stay with us.
