It's not. The way I interpreted it this article is guilty of cutting out the Twitter witnesses to push the idea that Trump is denouncing the end-statement, which... while completely fair and sensible (given how this article is written) is really just bad, selective journalism.
It's media re-writing the news in the way that works best for them. Let me be clear. I do not like Trump or Pence. However, when I saw the story break this morning I noticed that a lot of the later articles left out the tweets providing crucial context.
Take a look at some of the tweets. The audience booed and jeered Pence all throughout the shows and after certain lines.
@ChristyMoose - I'm at #Hamilton and so is Mike Pence. Crowd booed him like crazy, and gave a standing O at the line "immigrants we get the job done" 1/2
@ChristyMoose - 2/2 Crowd went NUTS at King George's lines "when people say they hate you" & "do you know how hard it is to lead?" He had to stop the song.
@TheStagmania - At #Hamilton. Mike Pence is here and the entire theater just booed him.
@TheStagmania - During "You'll Be Back (Reprise)" they had to keep pausing the song while people jeered Pence on every line.
@TheStagmania - "When your people say they hate you..." Fully stopped the song for a minute while people lost their shit. Never seen anything like it.
