Platt and Allison Padilla-Goodman, the vice president of the Southern division of the Anti-Defamation League, said that although the protest was a distraction, it could end up serving a greater purpose by shining a light on antisemitism, which is“I think it’s a story that signifies that if we don’t catch hate in its moment, if we don’t address the kind of climate of antisemitism and hatred and discrimination, hate crimes happen, and hate can erupt onto streets,” Padilla-Goodman said.

The show's producers said in a statement: “If there is any remaining doubt out there about the urgency of telling this story in this moment in history, the vileness on display last night should put it to rest. We stand by the valiant Broadway cast that brings this vital story to life each night.”Erin Kutch is a segment producer for NBC News Now.

Another recycled story from LAST WEEK. 😨

All the photos and videos are people protesting him being a pedophile. But all that NBC mentions is him being jewish. Well, one cannot pay for that kind of promotion...or can they?

This is so ridiculous

Today was the 'Day of Hate'. So on America's Kristalnacht no jewish were killed, just some yelling. Are you sure this whole thing wasn't just an attempt by Biden to get sympathy for his constant interfering?

It’s a bit past time to “criticize” don’t you think? Perhaps someone should DO something about this?🤔

They were neo-Nazis.

Why do dems hate Jews so much?

What a lie, He was sentenced

Stop The Hate

Ok how is it that yall have to couch that activists call a group named the National socialists a neo nazi group when nazi is short for national socialist?

Platt is a legend and a young man who stands by what he believes…hope the show is a huge success ✌🏼❤️from🇦🇺

The leftists democrats have no shame. They encourage children to attend drag shows, then this…

Huh? Who gives a fuck.
