The president of the Kennedy Center sharply criticized a musician Friday for canceling a Christmas Eve performance at the venue after the White House announced that President Donald Trump’s name would be added to the building.
Richard Grenell, the center’s president, accused musician Chuck Redd of political intolerance in a letter responding to the sudden withdrawal, which Grenell said came just days before the scheduled concert. The letter, shared with The Associated Press, said the cancellation was explicitly tied to the recent renaming of the facility, which Grenell described as honoring Trump’s efforts to preserve the arts institution.

Kennedy Center Cancels Free Christmas Eve Show Out of Hatred for the Trump Name
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4359106/posts
The spanking comes quick...
I’m OK with that...
But the Kennedy family is fine with the fact that JFK literally raped his intern in the swimming pool..but hey that’s fine, after all he was JFK for goodness sake
Yeah, the Weaksters got their own serious case of TDS...
Yes, Democraps...
😂😂😂
Who is Chuck Redd?
Some dude who is a legend in his own mind, now on the hook for a mill.
According to her, that is when she lost her virginity.
I mean, I p[ersonally have to accept what she says about that situation. Still plenty of things wrong with what took place, but, most likely it was not rape.
I saw a clip of her story on Newsmax..the way she described it, if this had been ANY Republican, it would have been a world wide scandal
Looks like they have to write better contracts and make sure TDS isn’t a valid reason to cancel a big event....
Yep -
Looks like they have to write better contracts and make sure TDS isn’t a valid reason to cancel a big event....And Chuck Redd needs to check himself into the same center that Robe Reiner went to after Trump won the election...
Good one
Mimi told her story in her memoirs which would still trump whatever Newsmax reported. It doesn't mean that she was lying or that Newsmax was lying, but rather we must accept her word as being the factual account. If she is lying, only she can correct the fact as it currently stands. <[p> That is the problem with lying, it creates confsion, which is the intention of a lie. She may be lying to save herself from being harrassed, and if that is the case then we understand, because the Democrats will do whatever is necessary to make the narrative they want to be acceppted as being the truth. Thus, many people are afraid to share the truth, especially when it comes to sexual matters, for a variety of reasons. Mimi did though, and her claim was that it was consensual.
With E. Hean Carroll, the facts cannpot even be eztablished, because E. Jean Carroll claims to have forgotten the exact date this claim she has leveled against Trump occurred. Furthermore, Trump was not found guilty, though the jury found Trump liable for civil penalties.
What is interesting though, is Mimi has not spoken out against Newsmax's reporting, has she?
