This Broadway Star Snatched a Trump Flag from the Audience During Show
"I will not apologize for how I responded to the disrespectful man," said the Frozen actor.
Timothy Hughes, a star of Disney's Frozen on Broadway, quite literally snatched a Trump 2020 flag from an audience member's hands and we're cackling with glee.
While the cast was taking their final bows, one man in the front row tauntingly waved the pro-Trump flag in their faces. Clearly, Hughes was not having it.
He posted the video of the incident on Instagram and called him out for the world to see.
"What does it say about our country and politics when a man at the show tonight felt the need to protest Disney’s Frozen on Broadway with a pro Trump flag?? How frightening is it that our show’s messages of love, acceptance, and diversity have become the opposition to supporting Trump? The curtain call is a thank you between actors and audience, a final connection to end a shared experience. I will not apologize for how I responded to the disrespectful man trying to interrupt this moment with a pathetic political platform. Not at our show! Not in front of my beautiful, diverse, talented cast at @frozenbroadway. I appreciate everyone’s support. #resist#lovewins #lovetrumpshate"
