Well, it did seem odd, that the Kennedy Center got $25 million but wanted to layoff or furlough their employees. What exactly were they planning to do with that money if they didn’t have to pay their employees?
To: All
I guess the optics of firing the musicians while got 25 Million was a too much.

What public backlash? How do you backlash when you’re confined to your homes? I didn’t backlash. Did you backlash?

It was totally blowing-up the Democrat myth that they are
“the party of the little people”.

Nancy Pelosi is ON THE BOARD of the Kennedy Center. According to inside call recorded by Whistleblower, they knew mid-March that they’d get the money. Well doesn’t that stink to high heavens.

Well to be fair..they didn't actually get 25 million....at least 1/2 of it had to be laundered back to the DNC.....but its a good question just the same.....they probably laid off the cow bell section...

The penny drops. Valerie Jarrett is the boss. QED
To: tbw2
Val is one of 36, not exactly in control.
Lee Greenwood, Jon Voight, and Mike Huckabee are on there too as Trump appointees.
