Brandon Dixon, the Hamilton actor who delivered a message written by show creator Lin-Manuel Miranda to vice president-elect Mike Pence last Friday, has a racially charged past on Twitter.

Dixon delivered the message, put together by Miranda with help from show director Thomas Kail and producer Jeffrey Seller, after the audience booed Pence and his family as they entered the Richard Rogers theater. 

Once the cast had finished its curtain call, he read the message, saying: 'We, sir -- we 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 that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.'

Pence said he wasn't offended and even said the booing, which came from the audience and not the cast, was 'what freedom sounded like'.

Several racially charged tweets were sent off by Dixon between 2012 and 2016. Much of his outspokenness has been against police brutality 

But president-elect Donald Trump was furious, launching into a tweet storm over the clash. 

'Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!

'The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!' Trump tweeted. 

On Tuesday, Heat Street dug into Dixon's Twitter account to reveal that he was staunchly against police and had written questionable posts about 'white women' and St Patrick's day.  

In one tweet, Dixon wrote about police officers: 'More good than bad? Until I see LEGIONS of good cops in the street holding the bad cops accountable, they're all complicit.'

The tweet came just days after two high-profile shooting deaths of black men in September: Terence Crutcher and Keith Lamont Scott. 

After Trump earned the endorsement of the National Fraternal Order of Police, Dixon took to Instagram, sharing a screen grab of the article (pictured)

Another tweet by Dixon was a response to someone else's tweet about Trayvon Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old Florida boy who was shot dead by George Zimmerman. 

'4 every racist comment I get about Trayvon Im going 2 turn 1 white married suburban housewife & mother n2 a jump off,' a Twitter user called J Lee wrote.

Dixon responded: 'The. Best.'

'Jump off' is a term that refers to someone who is a casual sexual partner.  

After Trump earned the endorsement of the National Fraternal Order of Police, Dixon took to Instagram, sharing a screen grab of the article. 

On it he wrote: 'This is a statement and a HALF. Well, this and the regular, paid leave, remorseless murder of unarmed people of color.' 

Dixon delivered a controversial message, put together by Miranda with help from show director Thomas Kail and producer Jeffrey Seller, to Pence

Pence said he wasn't offended and even said the booing, which came from the audience and not the cast, was 'what freedom sounded like'

A tweet from March of 2012 showed that Dixon said: 'St. Patty’s day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks. Happy holidays boys.'

It is unclear what Dixon was referring to in this tweet.  

Dixon has tweeted at Trump and spoke on CBS saying the cast did not need to apologize for its statement to Pence.
