Drama erupts as Donald Trump attends ‘Les Misérables’
Hoot, along with a handful of other performers, took their seats donated by Trump critics, and were greeted with applause.
‘Felon!’
By intermission, the drama wasn’t limited to the stage. As the lights came up at the end of Act I, the audience erupted once again as POTUS and his wife stood up in the presidential box.
But it wasn’t only cheers and applause that bounced off the walls of the DC cultural center.
According to CNN, a woman seated in the orchestra section suddenly shouted, “Felon, you’re a convicted felon!”
The crowd noise dipped, and her voice cut through even clearer: “Convicted felon, rapist!”
