„Das war nicht einstimmig. „Ich war während des Anrufs stummgeschaltet“: Vorstandsmitglied des Kennedy Center sagt, dass Trumps Namensänderung durchgesetzt wurde

>Yesterday, Donald Trump spat on the memory of John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy Center was established as a “living memorial” to Kennedy, a legal designation that means any official name change requires congressional approval and can’t simply be voted on by the board.

>But I guess the law doesn’t mean much to Trump and his cronies. One of his first actions on returning to office was to fill the Kennedy Center’s board with flunkies, and said flunkies have now said they’re officially renaming it the “Trump-Kennedy Center”.

>Karoline Leavitt gushed over the news, saying:

>*“The highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center.”*

>As with most things that slither out of Leavitt’s mouth, this isn’t true. What seems to have actually happened is that, on a remote call, any attendees who opposed the renaming were put on mute by the organizer, preventing anyone from objecting. As Rep. Joyce Beattie explains:

>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.
