The Star of ‘Hamilton’ Who Lectured Pence Has a Dicey History of ‘Locker Room Talk’

   DailyWire.com

As Daily Wire contributor John Nolte discussed at length on Saturday, Vice President-elect Mike Pence mistakenly decided to attend a showing of the musical “Hamilton” alongside his family, including his daughter and his nieces, on Friday. This was apparently the perfect time and place for holier-than-thou “Hamilton” actor Brandon Victor Dixon to lectured Pence about the importance of inclusivity and respect from atop a mountain of unearned moral superiority while the rest of the New York City elites in attendance booed the Indiana native.

Here’s how it went down, via The New York Times:

As the play ended, the actor who played Aaron Burr, Brandon Victor Dixon, acknowledged that Mr. Pence was in the audience, thanked him for attending and added, “We hope you will hear us out.”

“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 all of us.”

The audience broke out in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Mr. Pence was leaving as Mr. Dixon began to read the statement from the stage. A show spokesman said that Mr. Pence stood in the hallway outside the entrance to the auditorium and heard the full remarks.

But, plot-twist: Mr. Inclusive has a dicey history of “locker-room talk” himself, namely a number of racially-charged and sexist tweets.

In other words, Dixon is a total fraud.

In 2012, the actor explained that St. Patrick’s day is like “Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks.”

“St. Patty’s day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks. Happy holidays boys,” he wrote, attaching a #seasonsgreetings hashtag.

More disturbingly, in 2013, Dixon rated the following comment as “The. Best.”: “4 every racist comment I get about Trayvon Im going 2 turn 1 white married suburban housewife & mother n2 a jump off.”

Basically, this tweet is advocating for turning “white suburban” housewives into his own casual sex partners.

And more sexism: The lecturing elitist kindly explains to the world that “ho’s [sic] aren’t what they used to be.” NFL stars, for instance, “wouldn’t get distracted” if said “ho’s [sic]” would “step up” their “game.”

Hmm. Just a thought here, but maybe Dixon should take a look in the mirror before lecturing an upstanding citizen like Mike Pence–who actually responded to the actor’s condescension with grace and dignity–about inclusivity and respect.
