Joyce Beatty/X/screen grab
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) pushed back sharply after the White House claimed the Kennedy Center board unanimously approved renaming the venue after President Donald Trump, saying that account is flatly untrue. Beatty, an ex officio board member, said she was on the call and attempted to raise concerns but was repeatedly muted, preventing her from speaking or voting. She stressed that Congress created the Kennedy Center and retains authority over major decisions, accusing the administration of trying to sidestep the law while falsely portraying consensus.
