“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment — explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure — is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” the venue’s president, Richard Grenell, wrote in a letter to musician Chuck Redd that was shared with The Associated Press.

In the letter, Grenell said he would seek $1 million in damages “for this political stunt.”

Well done to the Kennedy Center for self-fucking themselves on future bookings with this stunt. Nothing says “come play at our venue!” like suing the talent.

It’s going to be Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and some shitty country artists for them moving forward. Fun!
