In the wake of the ‘Hamilton’ harassment of Mike Pence, a lot of Liberals said it was the right thing to do.
They think it’s okay to bully someone from the stage.
Here’s what happened:

One Liberal and legendary rocker called it what it was: bullying.
As a performer with Bruce Springsteen and actor in The Sopranos, Steven Van Zandt knows a few things about performing. And he said what ‘Hamilton’ did was over the line.
In a series of tweets, Van Zandt called it “bullying.”
And he laid out how performers should respect their audience:
A guy comes to a Broadway show for a relaxing night out. Instead he gets a lecture from the stage! Not a level playing field. It's bullying. https://t.co/x4XKq86YN0

Nobody on this planet disagrees more with everything Pence represents. But I don't tolerate bullying in any form. Even the respectful kind.

You don't single out an audience member and embarrass him from the stage. A terrible precedent to set. https://t.co/vREKw2RTMR

There has never been a more outspoken politically active artist than me. He was their guest. You protect your guests. Don't embarrass them.

Of course, he got a lot of pushback. But Van Zandt didn’t back down:
Bigotry is obviously never acceptable. I am saying it is a bad precedent for actors to start addressing audience members! Please read all. https://t.co/UvxBmdIFjJ

A Liberal has woken up to the bullying of the Left.
Will he take the next step? Will he recognize that the core tactic of the Left is bullying? Will he see that the Liberal agenda is just more bullying?
