I’ll try to do the best I can. The Kennedy Center has long been revered as one of the most prestigious auditoriums in the nation. If you performed there you “made it” and were one of the top performers of your field. Pianists and other musicians, classical singers, etc.
Well recently Trump fired the board and put in his lackeys that instated him as the chair. The “J6 choir” I believe was a group of people who were in prison for their attempts to overthrow the government on January 6th and were subsequently jailed.
I’m sure you can see where this is going from here but we’ve gone from the best of the best performing there to a political stunt of people who tried to overthrow the government and don’t have the talent behind it.
Ah ok, now i understand the reaction this is getting.
Just another of many slaps in the face to people who have devoted their lives to their passion only to be abused by some self aggrandising grifters.
As a non-american, can somebody please explain the context here and why this is significant?
