His poor, tender, precious MAGAt butt can no longer sustain the HURT of artists not wanting to perform in a venue that Trump has dishonored and sprayed with his scent.Sonia De Los Santos, a Mexican-born singer-songwriter, announced on Thursday she was canceling a planned performance because of the Trump administrations policies.
As an artist, I treasure the freedom to create and share my music, and for many years I have used this privilege to uplift the stories of immigrants in this country, the Grammy-nominated musician wrote on Instagram about her decision to cancel her Feb. 7 performance at the center. Unfortunately, I do not feel that the current climate at this beloved venue represents a welcoming space for myself, my band, or our audience.
As a woman of color and a Mexican-American immigrant, I believe this decision is an important example for younger generations.

This country was built on legal immigrants and as a first generation American, I find her statement highly offensive, wrote ( Kennedy Center PR chief Roma Daravi, In a statement to the Associated Press) , 32, who is of Persian Jewish origin and served in the first Trump White House. Refusing to engage with an institution open to everyone is, in fact, a step towards discrimination.

Something is whack in her wiring.
Then again, she probably would never get a job like this if she weren't a soulless lackey.
And
"Refusing to engage with an institution open to everyone is, in fact, a step towards discrimination.?
Really? Gee, I don't want to go to that McDonald's, and I'm discriminating against someone?

Same for "Black Republicans" like Byron Donalds and Tim Scott. They rigidly "hold the line" on Republican / Trump talking points, but when they look around to see what kind of reward or sweet Cabinet position they're going to get, THERE NEVER IS ONE.
