The White House used dirty tricks to force a “unanimous” vote on renaming the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump, according to a congresswoman who serves on the arts center’s board of trustees.
In a statement released on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that the center’s board of trustees had “just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building.”
For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship. https://t.co/D1zGV7xiWVpic.twitter.com/npNvSIy6sV
