New Kennedy Center Guy Cries 'Irreparable Harm' Will Ensue If Trump's Name Is Removed
Like people might actually perform there again?
TL;DR
- The Kennedy Center has been renamed to include Donald Trump's name, resulting in "The Donald J. Trump And The Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts."
- The Center's executive director, Matt Floca, claims removing Trump's name would cause "irreparable" harm and destabilize the Center's fundraising and programming.
- Congresswoman Joyce Beatty filed a lawsuit arguing the name change requires congressional approval and is a "personal vanity project."
- Floca stated that Trump's name was added to recognize his contributions as President and Chair of the Board of Trustees, and that he has committed to raising $150 million.
- Beatty contends the name change undermines the Center's purpose as a memorial to President Kennedy and violates congressional sensitivity to its exterior signage.
