WASHINGTON (AP) — The president of the Kennedy Center on Friday fiercely criticized a musician’s sudden decision to cancel a Christmas Eve performance at the venue days after the White House announced that President Donald Trump’s name would be added to the facility.
“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment — explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure — is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” the venue’s president, Richard Grenell, wrote in a letter to musician Chuck Redd that was shared with The Associated Press.
In the letter, Grenell said he would seek $1 million in damages “for this political stunt.”
I’ll be honest, I don’t really care if the name of some building is being replaced from one shitty war criminal to another. It’s strange to name the building after an evil guy in the first place.
Then why do you care that the musician canceled? Both should be equally meaningless to you.
I don’t care they canceled. Nothing in my comment really implies that.
But what are you commenting on?! Did you just click on a random post, with a random comment? Or does your comment come with context? Reading comprehension would suggest that you not only disapprove of the musicians actions but don’t understand rule of law or understand morality.
I saw a post about the fervour over the Kennedy building getting renamed and just decided to share my thoughts.
Your thoughts are irrelevant to the conversation. Do you go into posts about food and say you don’t like cars? No… And now I’m sharing my thoughts on your waste of time and energy comment. So I asked questions that are relevant to your comment trying to figure out your point. But I guess you’re just typing into the void then getting mad when the void types back.
Ah well. Ya live and ya learn. I thought it was pretty relevant.
ok
Sorry liberal
Thank you, I’m just glad you learned something about respecting people. Thanks also for that DM, I know you’re trying and you’ll do better
Not sure what sort of conversation you were expecting by opening with “ok”. I’m just matching your energy lol.
