Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, is blasting a measure from House Republicans that would rename the Kennedy Center’s famed Opera House in honor of Melania Trump.
“A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces — but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers,” Schlossberg, quoting his grandfather, wrote in a Tuesday post on Instagram.
“JFK believed the arts made our country great and could be our most effective weapon in the fight for civil rights and against authoritarian governments around the world,” Schlossberg, a vocal critic of President Trump, said.
“The Trump administration stands for freedom of oppression, not expression,” he added.
“[Trump] uses his awesome powers to suppress free expression and instill fear,” the 32-year-old son of former U.S. ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg said.

I’d rather they name something after malania that’s more towards what she does. A child’s hospital wing. She has nothing to do with music except maybe on the runway or during her photo sessions.
Looks like Anthony Weiner...Huma’s old husband.
Boring. Democrat with sex issues. Take a number, they.
He probably denigrates the memory of PT-109.
Whoops...I think I jumped the gun. This is still a proposed name change.
One of the most useless families in America.
Ugh he gives me the creeps
I agree with you
But in 60+ years of watching leftists name everything under the sun after their heroes, I can’t recall a single objection from “our” side, even when St. George was honored for dying of a fentanyl overdose.
I do recall, however, how predictably apoplectic many on the left were when the D. C. airport was named after President Reagan.

I don’t favor renaming anything after Melania Trump. What exactly has she done to earn that honor?
I thought he looked like Weiner, huma’s ex.
I do believe he has already disparaged his grandmother Jackie
Wut a jack wad!
Hunter Biden? I am getting more of an Anthony Weiner vibe.
When did they rename the Triboro Bridge? I spent hundreds on that damn span.
Always with the idiotic slogans aren’t they? But always light on facts.
His grampa was a womanizing @$$hole.
No, no, no. Melania ought to get ahead of this and say “No, thank you.”
If she is a big patroness of the opera, it’s news to me. Besides, it looks bad.
“ But in 60+ years of watching leftists name everything under the sun after their heroes, I can’t recall a single objection from “our” side, even when St. George was honored for dying of a fentanyl overdose.”
We need a new rule.
Only name things after people who died or displayed great bravery in combat or as firefighter of police.
