Joyce Beatty: “This is disgraceful, if you want to know the truth.”

The court was clear in its order because the statute is clear: only Congress can change the name of the Kennedy Center.

He has desecrated this sacred memorial for his own vanity. I am proud to have fought for the rule of law and to protect this sacred institution.

The Kennedy Center is an institution that belongs to the American people, not to Donald Trump.
