Maria Shriver's Brutal Takedown Of The Kennedy Center's Trump Rename Is Going Viral
Last week, Republicans advanced an amendment that would rename the "John F. Kennedy Opera House" to the "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House." Yeeep, the "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House." Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson explained, "This designation is an excellent way to recognize her support and commitment to promoting the arts." Well, now they want to name the entire Kennedy Center complex after Trump. Rep. Bob Onder from Missouri introduced a bill that would rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to the "Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts." According to The Hill, Rep. Onder explained, "I cannot think of a more ubiquitous symbol of American exceptionalism in the arts, entertainment, and popular culture at large than President Trump." Sooo, as you all know, Maria Shriver is JFK's niece. She responded to the news with this tweet: "This is insane. It makes my blood boil. It's so ridiculous, so petty, so small minded. Truly, what is this about? It's always about something. 'Let's get rid of the Rose Garden. Let's rename the Kennedy Center.' What's next?" What's next? She asks. Well, this person in the replies offered a possible suggestion: I wouldn't put it past him!

The Internet Is Losing It Over The Proposal To Rename The Kennedy Center After Melania Trump
This is (currently) the Kennedy Center Opera House: But it might soon be renamed to: "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House." Republicans in the House have advanced an amendment to rename the Kennedy Center's Opera House to the "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House." Yes, for real: "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House." Why? Well, he says, "This designation is an excellent way to recognize her support and commitment to promoting the arts." FWIW, it seems like a real possibility. The amendment was adopted by the committee: 35-22. The response is very much "...really?" One person called the US, "The most unserious government and people on the planet." "Exactly what were her contributions to the arts?" another person asked. And a bunch of people are just wondering if this whole thing is a joke (it's not.) Finalllly, Congressman Greg Casar said, "If you're one of 17 million people about to lose their health care, Republicans have some good news: they're renaming the Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump." Thoughts?
