KATIE HOPKINS has laid into preachy actors who use their celebrity to make vacuous political points telling them they are just like PROSTITUTES - there to “make people happy for money”.
Mike Pence BOOED at 'Hamilton: An American Musical'
The self-proclaimed Donald Trump supporter lambasted American “luvvies” for assuming that standing on stage spouting other people’s words somehow lends them authority to lecture people about politics.
She said: “You are not actually part of the Washington elite. You have not been elected.
“You are paid performers who make people happy for money. Like prostitutes. Or waiters when you are ‘resting’.”

Ms Hopkins’ rant came after incoming US vice president Mike Pence was booed at the Broadway musical, Hamilton – a show which aims to celebrate diversity of colour, sexuality, race and gender.
Mr Pence was even outed by actor Brandon Victor Dixon who told him they were worried about the new President-elect.
Mr Dixon told him: “We, sir, 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.
“We truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us.”
But outspoken presenter Ms Hopkins asked “why do luvvies that they think they deserve to have more than one vote in the ballot box?

Writing for Mail Online, she went on: “That somehow they should be accorded a greater platform from which to lecture all those they consider less informed?
“Actors can't resist lecturing us, whether over the environment, race or gender issues. “If they win an award, stand by for a worthy lecture on the state of the coral reefs or why women need better access to bathrooms in India.
“Why don't actors understand all we want them to do is act.

“I also question why it is those who preach tolerance, like the cast of Hamilton, who are so incapable of being tolerant themselves.
“A crowd of people who celebrate diversity, sexual freedom and racial equality, absolutely incapable of accepting a white-haired gentleman as part of their audience.

“They preach diversity but fail to accept diversity of thought or opinion. There is only one opinion allowed. And it's theirs."
Ms Hopkins argued actors were supposed to provide a “sanctuary” which provides people with an “escape” from the “ordinary into an ethereal or imaginary world”.
