The White House celebrated a unanimous vote to rename the Kennedy Center, one of the country’s most important cultural institutions. But Congresswoman Joyce Beatty exposed the lie. Apparently, the vote only looked unanimous because dissent never made it past the mute button.
On Thursday, the White House announced that the Kennedy Center had been renamed the “Trump Kennedy Center.” Spokeswoman Roma Daravi announced, “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.” (via CNN) Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also joined in, framing it as a historic moment.
