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 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.”
In the sense of “this is a nice arts center. Would be a shame if something happened to it”?
I’m particularly impressed with the mental gymnastics in the next part of that sentence:
Right, intolerance is when you hurt the feelings of the shitstain doing his very best to rid the country of anyone browner than his Pampers pull-ups.
