VIDEO: Idina Menzel Shades Donald Trump, Sends Love to 'Hamilton' Cast at AMAs 2016!

Idina Menzel threw some shade at President-elect Donald Trump and sent some love to the cast of Hamilton while presenting at the 2016 American Music Awards on Sunday (November 20) at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.

The Tony-winning actress was on stage alongside Shark Tank‘s Mark Cuban when she decided to be a little political.

Idina asked Mark, a major supporter of Hillary Clinton, what he is looking forward to next year and he said, “Not being invited to the inauguration is a good start.”

“I know how you feel,” Idina replied with a laugh. “Us unsafe, scary theater people won’t be invited to the inauguration either. I love you Hamilton!”

Idina is of course referring to the drama that went down after Mike Pence attended a performance of the Broadway musical this weekend and Trump slammed the cast for taking the moment to deliver a message to the VP-elect.

Also pictured inside at the awards show: Milla Jovovich, Rebecca Romijn, Garcelle Beauvais, and Cheryl Burke.

FYI: Idina is wearing a Thai Nguyen Atelier dress, Brian Atwood shoes, a Judith Leiber clutch, and Yeprem jewels. Milla is wearing an Elie Saab dress, Prada shoes, and jewelry by Swarovski. Rebecca is wearing a Rita Vinieris gown and Noudar earrings.
