Summary
Ticket sales at the Kennedy Center dropped 50% after Trump overhauled its board, installed himself as chairman, and fired president Deborah Rutter.
Trump framed the changes as a fight against “woke” culture, leading to the cancellation of performances, including a children’s musical and a concert by the Gay Men’s Chorus.
Several artists and board members, including Issa Rae and Shonda Rhimes, withdrew in protest.
The White House defended the move, saying it aims to restore the center’s prestige by aligning it with “America’s great history and traditions.”
just say it…racist, slavery-loving assholes
Can’t wait for the revival of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” starring Kelsey Grammer and Jim Caviezel, directed by Mel Gibson with new music by Kid Rock.
Ah yes, the classic “so busy being ‘great’ that they forgot to be 'good.”
