hello, mr. president-elect. thank you for taking the time to meet with me. senator romney, so good of you to come. this isn t going to work. is it? i don t think so. great. [ cheers and applause ] president-elect donald trump may have found common ground with one of his harshest critics. 2012 republican presidential nominee mitt romney. vice president-elect mike pence confirms think saying romney is under serious consideration to be secretary of state. donald trump leaning on the former governor s extensive expertise and ability to attract creddant foreign policy insiders to trump s administration. this despite an explosive wafr words wean the two rivals during trump s presidential campaign. bringing in a former spoekesman
also said that was awful. that was awful. but i don t think you symone. we have a reasonable expectation you go to the theater and you re going to be entertained, and not lectured. mike pence isn t just any citizen. he s the vice president-elect of the united states. also a double standard is evident here. you mentioned president obama going to a play. if he had gone to a play in 2008 do you think he would have possibly, replay the scene in 08 or this scene unfolded, when they have lectured him about gay marriage and fiercely anti-gay marriage he is said in the 2008 race? i doubt it very highly. in fact, we are going to inaugurate the first president in american history firmly in support of gay rights. so i think there s a hypocrisy here. you know can i ask you, let me ask steve a question. steve, i want to ask you, i also i hear what you re saying about the double standard. but i also wonder if the standard that donald trump set for campaign tone is different
media. the first of many tweets on this matter. he tweeted saturday morning, a wonderful future vp mike pence was harassed at the cast of hamilton. this should not happen. and nbc s saturday night live, took the situation as an opportunity to mock trump yet again. hello, sir. heard you went to see hamilton. how was that? it was good. i got a free lecture. i heard they booed you. absolutely. i love you, mike. the reason i ll never getting impeached. sir, being president is not going to be ed, but we ll get through it if we work hard, together. thank you, mike. oh, and, mike you re going to do everything, right? yes, sir. president-elect trump did not like that too much either. cnn senior media brian stelter host of reliable sources joins
overrated is his favorite word. we ll hear that word a lot more. that s a terrible mistake and makes the president look small. again, just to reiterate it s not true. it s really a great show. but you were saying that you think it s regretful because now there will be conservatives who won t go see the show because of this. that s right. i m old fashioned about my entertainment. i want to go to be entertained. if i want politics i ll go to a town hall meet, turn on cable news. there s lots of outlets you can go to the get politics. a play for the vice president-elect of the united states who was there with his family to get booed goes how far civility has gone. the cast knew it and doubled down by deciding they would capitalize. wait a minute. i think it s wrong. the cast didn t boo. my problem with the cast they knew what the environment was in the hall.
feel welcome, like everybody should want to feel welcome anywhere in the united states and it starts with a small thing like not booing the vice president-elect of the united states. hypocrisy is getting pretty deep. we ve seen a president who has gotten heckled from the floor of the united states congress by one of you all s congress members. they said it was wrong. that doesn t matter. i m just saying, do not say that all of a sudden because we re at the brink of going over to incivility because this happened at a play, imagine when donald trump throws the first pitch at a baseball game. he wants those boos so loud so we re not talking about the $25 million trump u settlement and we re not talking about his meeting with his indian business partners and how trump international was pushing its rooms that nobody is in. bakari is always in closing
