Actress Issa Rae cancels sold-out Kennedy Center show after Trump named chairman of venue

[jbycho 754]

This is FREAKING  AWESOME. 

I love watching the disruption that normalcy is creating among the liberals. Run liberals run. 

 

Other celebrities like 'Grey's Anatomy' creator Shonda Rhimes and musician Ben Folds quit their positions at the venue after Trump's move

Actress Issa Rae announced she canceled her sold-out Kennedy Center event after President Trump was named its chairman.

Rae, who’s the creator and director of the HBO series, "Insecure," posted to Instagram that she was pulling "An Evening with Issa Rae" from the famous D.C. arts venue due to an "infringement on the values of the institution."

"Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I've decided to cancel my appearance at this venue," the actress wrote on her Instagram story on Thursday.

She thanked her fans for "selling out" the show and added that "all tickets will be refunded." The show had been scheduled for March 16. The venue confirmed with Fox News Digital that the now-cancelled show was sold-out.

In a subsequent post, Rae shared a meme mocking Trump as an "ugly a-- b----" – further suggesting that Trump’s recent shakeup of the venue was the reason for her canceling the show.

Trump announced on Truth Social last week that he decided to fire multiple Kennedy Center board members, including its chair, David Rubenstein. The president declared that he and Rubenstein "do not share [the same] Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture."

Trump indicated that he was displeased with the progressive nature of some of the Kennedy Center’s recent events, adding, "Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP."

The Kennedy Center in October hosted a Dancing Queens Drag Brunch at its Roof Terrace Restaurant in October, featuring Washington, D.C.'s "most fabulous drag performers," according to its website.

I care. I enjoy it. I'm hoping liberals take themselves out of the public eye all on their own.

Ok, she wasn't. You have nothing. 

Now let me ask, should all bars allow tittie dancers on stages? Or should they be allowed to choose what type of operation they are running?

Let’s break this down. Kid Rock and Trump on stage doing his jerking two guys dance versus the drag show you weirdos obsess on.

One of these shows has Kid Rock music which is objectively terrible. A drag show could play any music. Advantage drag show.

One of these shows has a dude on stage wearing excessive makeup, dressed like a clown, dyed hair done up like they just left the salon. The drag show is pretty much the same. That’s a push.
