as posted by the channelSilenced. Sidelined. Illegal. Rep. Joyce Beatty Sues Over Trump’s Kennedy Center Power Grab
Congresswoman Joyce Beatty says she was muted, blocked from voting, and sidelined as a Trump-stacked board pushed through an illegal renaming of the Kennedy Center.
Joyce Beatty is suing Donald Trump and members of the Kennedy Center board after being silenced during a Zoom meeting where the board moved to add Trump’s name to the iconic venue.
