Trump's KENNEDY Center goon Grenell always looks like he just ate someone's liver with some fava beans & a nice Chianti

President Donald Trump loyalist and Kennedy Center boss Richard Grenell is raging again after another performance group canceled its event at the once-renowned arts venue.

The San Francisco Ballet announced it had withdrawn from a five-day run at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts scheduled for May, prompting a pointed response from Grenell, 59.

“Professional artists should perform for everyone — not just for people they agree with politically,” the Trump appointee told The New York Times on Saturday.

The Daily Beast has reached out to the San Francisco Ballet for comment. In a statement to the New York Times, the company said: “SF Ballet looks forward to performing for Washington, D.C., audiences in the future.”
