John Sexton on U.S. Politics

Statement summary

In a signed HotAir column published on the day of the Kennedy Center board's closure vote, John Sexton wrote that Trump "has refused to raise the money needed to carry out the renovations without some recognition of his contribution" and that Democrats in Congress "could push to fix this". The column also calls the closure "a smart move" and says the Left "could get what they presumably want" with "a very minimal show of respect".

“For his part, President Trump has refused to raise the money needed to carry out the renovations without some recognition of his contribution. So as of today the center is shut down and there is no renovation taking place. Democrats in Congress could push to fix this, but it seems they'd rather see the Kennedy Center collapse to the ground than tolerate Trump's name on the building.”
