Description

Controversy erupts as the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. is renamed Trump-Kennedy Center, with claims of a unanimous vote by the board contested. Representative Joyce Beatty, an ex-officio member, alleges she was muted during the call, preventing her from voicing opposition. She views this as censorship and an attempt to bypass legal processes. The board is now entirely composed of Trump appointees, following the removal of Biden-appointed members earlier this year. This move follows previous attempts to rename parts of the center, raising concerns about the institutions values.
