Conservative journalist Brianna Lyman of The Federalist recently appeared on CNN and in the course of just a few minutes, completely deflated the liberal outrage narrative about Trump’s name being added to the Kennedy Center.
Lyman brought up one single point. George Floyd.
A few years back, the American left set out to rename pretty much everything in sight to honor the memory of George Floyd. Now they’re angry about Trump’s name being added to the Kennedy Center?
Transcript via Red Wave Press:
“I personally don’t care that much, but I do find it funny, Paul, that you care and that the Kennedys care because no one in your party cared in 2020 when you guys were changing names of hospitals, parks, schools, streets, everything in the name of George Floyd.”
“Wikipedia has an entire page called ‘list of name changes due to the George Floyd protests.’ It is the longest Wikipedia page I’ve ever seen. So people who are up in arms about name changes now were mostly silent. The second point I’d make, I think it’s really disingenuous for the Kennedys and for anyone to sit here and pretend like they care so much about the Kennedy Center because I don’t know how many of you guys have been to the Kennedy Center prior to Donald Trump taking office.”
“I was there in 2023. I wasn’t a VIP box. That should be pretty nice. The seats were stained. I literally sat down, I was like, is this wet? Is this fresh? The floors were dirty. This is a place that was decrepit. And all of this on top of people getting exorbitant salaries. So people who were running the Kennedy Center or who claimed to love and care about the Kennedy Center said nothing when it was falling into disrepair, and President Trump comes in, they are renovating, they cut salaries that were needlessly high, they’re bringing people to come and see the arts for once. It was not that lively of an institution under the Biden administration. So don’t pretend like you care about the Kennedy Center now when you were quiet when it was falling into disrepair.”

Remember, back in 2020, the left not only renamed things, they tore down historic statues and removed others from public view. For them to act outraged over the Kennedy Center is ridiculous. They are just looking for a new shiny object to be angry about. Next week, it’ll be something else.
