Over the past few days, Donald Trump has come out with harshly-worded Tweets against the Broadway musical Hamilton and the way in which he's portrayed on Saturday Night Live . But he is yet to say anything about Richard Spencer. On Saturday, November 19, Spencer spoke in front of over 200 attendees inside at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., for the annual conference of the National Policy Institute. This organization describes itself as “dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world.” Along with Steve Bannon , Spencer, meanwhile, is a leader in the “alt-right” movement. He has said his dream is “a new society, an ethno-state that would be a gathering point for all Europeans,” and has called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing.” In the speech below, he leads his followers in a cheer of “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory,” sounding very much like the Nazis who bowed down at the feet of Adolf Hitler. “America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Spencer said. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.” WATCH THE DISTURBING SPEECH AND REACTION BELOW:
It doesn’t seem possible, but this weekend, America is loving Hamilton just a little bit more than it already did. And that’s because, on Friday night, Hamilton told Vice President-elect and notoriously terrible human being Mike Pence. They expressed their fears that he wouldn’t protect all the people in this country, but they expressed those concerns with respect and kindness. Donald Trump, Pence’s bestie, was deeply offended, and he called for an apology , but Pence himself? He was pretty cool with it. Mike Pence on Hamilton: I’m Not Offended! Pence went on Fox News Sunday, and towards the end of the interview he was asked about the Hamilton fiasco. He said that he and his family “really enjoyed” the show, and that it was an “incredible production,” and that it was “a real joy to be there.” With tickets sold out for pretty much the rest of eternity, yeah, we imagine it’s be a joy to be there. Then, as hilarious yet embarrassing as it is, Pence said that he did hear some boos as he took his seat, but “I nudged my kids and reminded them that’s what freedom sounds like.” He said that he did hear the speech, and “I wasn’t offended by what was said.” He added that “I’ll leave to others whether that was the appropriate venue to say it.” Pence went on to give a mini-speech, in which he said “I know this is a very disappointing time for people that did not see their candidate win in this national election.” “I just want to assure people that what President-elect Donald Trump said on election night, he absolutely meant from the bottom of his heart.” “He is preparing to be the president of all of the people of the United States of America, and to watch him bringing together people of diverse views, bringing together people that differed with him strongly, seeing him talk to leaders around the world …” “I just want to reassure every American that in the days head, I’m very confident,” he said. “They’re going to see President-elect Donald Trump be a president for all of the people, and we embrace that principle and we’re going to work hard to make that principle every day that we serve.” Nobody wanted to hear all that nonsense, so he was asked if he wanted to hear an apology from the Hamilton cast and crew. “As I said, I would leave that to others whether that was the appropriate venue for that,” he answered. So all this sounds pretty coached, right? Or at least like he coached himself to play it cool. If theatre-goers booing at him was “what freedom sounds like,” then wouldn’t the actual speech also be what freedom sounds like? Hamilton Cast Delivers Speech to Mike Pence Why not just stick with that instead of the whole “I’m not going to say that it hurt my feelings, but if other people think it was really mean of them, then that’s cool” bit? But hey, at least he said that he wasn’t offended, right? And he very willingly admitted that Hamilton is an absolutely amazing show. It’s more than what Donald Trump did. Yesterday, after the news of what happened began circulating, Trump tweeted “Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!” “The Theater must always be a safe and special place,” he wrote. “The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!” He must have really been torn up about it all, because this morning at 6:22 AM, he tweeted “The cast and producers of Hamilton, which I hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to Mike Pence for this terrible behavior.” “Highly overrated”? Oh, Donald, everybody knows you’re a fool , but this is a little much, don’t you think? Electoral college, come get your boys. They’re not doing so hot.

Hey, do you find Kylie Jenner attractive? Of course you do, you’re only human. Sure, you might be disgusted with yourself for thinking she’s hot, or you might try to justify it with “only her boobs though!” But you don’t have to be ashamed here. You can be your truest, Kylie Jenner-lovingest self, no judgment. And you’re really going to want to just own your attraction, what with these new photos. Last night, Kylie hopped on Instagram to share a few pictures from a racy little photo shoot she did to promote her new business venture. She’s opening her very first Kylie Cosmetics store! It’s just a pop-up shop, but still, it’s a big deal for her, right? It’ll open on December 9th in L.A., of course, and it will be designed to look like Kylie’s own house. There’s going to be a timely Christmas tree, and you can buy as many lip kits as your heart desires, and some new Kylie swag that will be exclusive to the shop. The store will only be open as long as supplies last though, so probably like ten seconds. In reality, all the merchandise will be bought up quick by misguided teenage girls and scalpers, but it’s a nice sentiment. But enough about the shop — we’ve got boobs to look at. She’s really just going for it, huh? We’re not sure what lacy lingerie has to do with makeup — you can’t even see her face in this one, and you could barely see it in the first one for all the smoke — but we’ll just have to take what we can get. And hey, is that a nipple ring? Did we know that she wears nipple rings? Well, we do now: We don’t know what’s gotten into Kylie lately, but it seems like she’s picked up her big sister Kendall’s love of nip slips . She’s been into bikini selfies and underwear selfies for a while now, but it seems like in the past month or so she’s been eager to show off them nips specifically. Who could forget her now-legendary post-election nude pic? Before that, she posed topless for Complex magazine , and before that she put on some similar lingerie for a good old-fashioned mirror selfie . So yes, 2016 has been a huge, dark, terrifying cloud, but there’s always a silver lining, you know? View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner: 43 Raciest Instagram Pics of 2015!
Kate Gosselin is moving right along … without Jon Gosselin, or anybody who has negative things to say about her man, Donald Trump. What a lady. In a new interview with Extra , Kate makes it clear she is over Jon – who recently accused her of deliberately hiding their son – and his nancy-ass drama. Sheesh. About Kate’s institutionalized son, Colin , she said, “It’s a family experience that we are dealing the best we can with.” “Everyone’s got their stuff. Another bump in the road and we’re all doing the best that we can with it.” “I am confident he is in the best hands and receiving the best of what’s being offered for his situation.” She continued and claimed that the hardest part was admitting that she was a jackass, and that her life wasn’t perfect. “It’s kind of humbling when as a mom you have to admit that, ‘I am not enough for what you need.’ That’s kind of what I struggle with, but we’re moving on.” Um, okay. Naturally, she had something to say about ex-husband and rumored drug dealer Jon Gosselin , and said: “I don’t have a relationship with him – I’ve moved on. I support the kids and their relationship [with him] – some visit, some choose not to, some visit sometimes.” “Sometimes” is pretty hard to come by when you’re actively keeping your children away from their paternal father, but we digress. “I support them and what they want so they can be happy and whole,” she told Extra . OH OKAY. Jon Gosselin Doesn’t Know Where His Son Collin Is, Claims Kate Won’t Tell Him She also claimed that even if she hadn’t hit “the big time” with her TLC-crapshoot of a show, she would have ended up divorcing. Are you LOLing? It’s okay; we are, too. “All I can say is that a lot of people try to pigeonhole you and say reality TV led to [the demise of my marriage],” she revealed. “The writing was already written on the wall.” She adds that “I always say it [would have] ended the same way, except the world wouldn’t have known about it. “I think that along the way, the signs were there and it’s unfortunate regardless,” Kate reasoned. Kate Plus 8 Trailer (2016) Kate also weighed in on her former Celebrity Apprentice mentor, Donald Trump, and praised him for his win. “That’s kind of a weird thing to think about because I knew him outside of and prior to Apprentice .” “I fully expect him to take his success in business and make our country successful,” she stated. “I hope that and hope that others can get behind him [because] I do know that at the heart of Donald Trump is a true and utter love of our country, and if he allows that to guide him, we will all be really happy.” Well, you can’t win ’em all … especially if you’re Kate Gosselin, but if you’re Donald Trump, all bets are off. Stay ridiculous, Kate. Keep at it. View Slideshow: 23 Infamous Kate Gosselin Scandals
The most popular musical in Broadway history feuding with the second-most popular Presidential candidate of 2016. On Friday night, Vice President-Elect Mike Pence attended a showing of Hamilton, getting booed lustily on his way in to the theater and then receiving a speech from actor Brandon Victor Dixon on his way out of the theater. It was pretty remarkable and most definitely in precedented. “We welcome you, and we truly thank you for joining us here at Hamilton: An American Musical – we really do,” Dixon said on stage. He continued: “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, sir. “But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values, and work on behalf of all of us . All of us. “We truly thank you for sharing this show, this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds and orientations.” What specific beefs do the cast of Hamilton have with Pence? The lead star of the show is gay and Pence has actively supported the concept of gay conversion therapy, in which homosexuals are taken away and essentially tortured until they “convert” to heterosexuality. He has also said that marriage equality would lead to “societal collapse.” In 2013, Pence signed a bill to jail same-sex couples in Indiana for applying for a marriage license. So the cast of the production took this as an opportunity to send a message to Pence. Fairly? Unfairly? It’s clear where the President-Elected stands on that question. Tweeted Donald Trump in light of this incident: “Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!” And also: “The Theater must always be a safe and special place. The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!” It’s unclear how the theater was un safe in this situation and one could easily argue that this type of speech is exactly what makes it special. One could also laugh over Donald Trump telling anyone at all to “apologize” over being “rude.” But we’ll let readers choose a side in this Hamilton vs. Trump feud. We’ll just give Dixon a chance to respond to Trump’s above Tweets. “@realDonaldTrump conversation is not harassment sir,” he wrote online. “And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen.” Lin-Manuel Miranda – the show’s Pulitzer-Prize winning creator and former star – also stood behind the actions of his cast. “Proud of @HamiltonMusical,” he wrote. “Proud of @BrandonVDixon, for leading with love. And proud to remind you that ALL are welcome at the theater.” Check out Dixon’s public speech to Pence below: Hamilton Cast Delivers Speech to Mike Pence Do you think it was deserved? Sound off now!
