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.”
Shoulda booked kid rock. It could probably use the work.
I’m not sure threatening performers with million-dollar lawsuits is the best way to attract new performers to your venue.
Yeah this was not very well thought out.
Nothing this regime does is well thought out except when it comes to deciding how cruel to be
President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure
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:
is classic intolerance
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.
You know… this is the first time I saw the tacked on “Donald Trump” they didn’t even manage to match the font of the original name. They somehow did a worse job then “The Ichy & Scratchy & Poochy show” did in the Simpsons.
Everything about this administration, starting with Taco, is just so pathetic.
Every headline I read about all of these people and their ideology, what they say, and how they execute their roles just screams: “pathetic”.
Don’t forget tacky. I’m pretty sure if Putin is really pulling the strings, he’s not just dismantling America from the inside out, he’s making it a complete laughing stock on the international stage for the rest of America’s future. Nobody will ever have trust or taste in the Americam way of life, making America, the grossest-looking second-world country since the USSR.
He’s not just going scorched earth doctrine, he’s salting the earth, too.
Get fucked, fascist!
Oh you don’t like that?
Well here’s some advice for ya
Suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a dick, and by the way suck a dick.
He already sucked Bills dick, he might as well suck a few more.
It sounds like the Kennedy center needs to cease to exist. It would be better for it not to be there than it would for it to branded by a dictator and presided over by this piece of shit Grenell.
As of right now, the center has no significant value and is a disgrace.
Sounds like Richard Grenell needs to be cyber bullied.
He kept two “the’s” lol
I was going to call out the same thing. This looks so pathetic. It’s basically the new version of that dumb sharpie modification he made to the weather map in his first term. What a loser.
This is all the saddest shit. The US is like watching your best friend get addicted to drugs and become a prostitute. Intervention is needed!
Worst part is, whenever you try to do anything about it or even talk to someone about the fact that there’s a problem, you are told you are the crazy one, and that we just need to give it a little time.
Cons really are the world’s biggest snowflakes.
