The vote to rename the Kennedy Center the Trump-Kennedy Center was not unanimous, as the White House and the center’s board have claimed, according to a congresswoman who is part of the flagship arts center and memorial’s board.
“What you may hear is that there was a unanimous vote to rename the Kennedy Center the Trump center,” Rep. Joyce Beatty, Democrat of Ohio, said in a video on X. “Be clear, 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.”
