The comment was in response to tweets from the president-elect
Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose accused Donald Trump of "whining" after the president-elect demanded an apology from the cast of the Broadway musical "Hamilton" for allegedly disrespecting Vice President-elect Mike Pence at last Friday's performance.
Donald Trump tweeted over the weekend demanding an apology for the "rude treatment and insults directed at Mike Pence," and added that in his opinion the musical "Hamilton" is overrated.
Because of this, Axl responded:
“Did the Hamilton cast disrespect Pence? You never stop whining? You want an apology? Seriously? You won! This is the job. Get used to it or get out. ”
At the end of Friday's performance, actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Vice President Aaron Burr in the musical "Hamilton," addressed the audience, who were booing the vice president, asking everyone to be respectful and thanking Vice President-elect Mike Pence: "There's nothing to boo here, ladies and gentlemen, there's nothing to boo. We're all here to share a love story .
The actor also read an appeal to the new vice president, asking that the new administration work in defense of all Americans:
“We are the diverse America that is alarmed and anxious, fearing that your administration will not protect us. We truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold American values and work on behalf of us all.”.
The actor also sent a reply to Donald Trump via Twitter:
“Talking isn’t disrespectful, sir. And I thank Mike Pence for stopping and listening .

The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for their terrible behavior
