The Kennedy Center was thrown into chaos after President Donald Trump’s board of trustees elected him as chairman, fired president Deborah F. Rutter, and appointed Richard Grenell interim president.

Some are suggesting that performers should refuse to take the stage at the center as a form of protest, citing the association with the Trump administration.
