From CNN: Kennedy Center board votes to rename it ‘Trump Kennedy Center’

 

"The board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted Thursday to rename the facility after both the former president and President Donald Trump.

“The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to name the institution The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,” center spokeswoman Roma Daravi said in a statement. 

 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Can we have a building somewhere WITHOUT the tRump name on it ???????????????????????????????????????

I'm NOT likely to be attending anything there, regardless of the name. But NOW I will avoid ANY offer to go there.

I wanted to see the vote totals to see who caved in, and the Washington Post story included this:

Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex-officio member of the board, said the vote was “not unanimous.”

“I was on that call and as I tried to push my button to voice my concern, to ask questions, and certainly not to vote in support of this, I was muted. Each time I tried to speak, I was muted,” she said in a video posted to X.
