Barbra Streisand calls Kennedy Center controversy ‘galling and painful to witness’
Streisand called the dispute over the arts center painful and said Trump’s bid to add his name has faced repeated court blocks and public opposition.
- On Thursday, Barbra Streisand condemned President Donald Trump for threatening to "close" or "ripped down" the Kennedy Center, remarks Trump made Wednesday demanding "recognition" for his administration.
- Trump previously attempted to place his name alongside the late President John F. Kennedy's on the building's entrance, sparking widespread opposition that the 84-year-old singer characterized as a struggle against his "unchecked ego."
- Reflecting on being "deeply honoured" as a 2008 Kennedy Center Honoree, Streisand argued the institution should inspire rather than serve as a political monument, emphasizing art's role in bringing Americans together.
- A federal judge ordered the Center to provide 30 days notice before any major physical changes, following Trump's announcement that the venue is closing for a "major renovation."
- Concluding her statement, Streisand urged Americans to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming midterm elections, arguing that protecting the creative impulse is essential for democracy.
