“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment—explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure,” the letter, shared to the Associated Press, reads, “is classic intolerance.” And, Grenell continues, “Your action surrenders to the sad bullying tactics employed by certain elements on the left, who have sought to intimidate artists into boycotting performances.”
Grenell also took personal jabs at Redd in the letter, claiming that his show wasn’t popular. “The contrast between the public’s lack of interest in your show with the success we are experiencing under our new chairman is drastic,” Grenell wrote. Trump’s board elected him as chairman in February. “The most avant-garde and well-regarded performers in your genre will still perform regularly,” he added, “and unlike you, they’ll do it to sold–out crowds regardless of their political leanings.”
One of the most notably bizarre things about the Trump regime, to me, is how childish they are. From Trump on down, so many of them literally act like spoiled, petulant children throwing public tantrums.
Truly, the most accurate term for this government is kakistocracy
The other thing that continually surprises me is how they get away with accusing others of the things they are doing. No creativity, no strategy, no actual sleuthing to find hidden skeletons. Just “Nuh uh, you’re the one doing the bad thing we just did.”
The fact that it works blows my mind and is a big part of how I know we’re well and truly fucked as a country.
Seems to me that’s going to hurt their argument. They’re claiming he cost them a million dollars yet in the same document they’re claiming he was unpopular and there was a lack of interest in the show.
Classic authoritarian technique. All of your enemies have both insane power to stop your plans while at the same time are so incredibly weak they are not worth your time.
They’re looking to dominate with any argument because they don’t hold any principles other than trying to show you up. All of these guys use abuser/rapist mentalities.
Thank you. Every god damned time they pull this sour grapes bullshit I can’t help but think how childish they sound.
If all these better acts are just champing at the bit to play a sold out show, book one of them instead of crying about this dude that you apparently didn’t want anyway.

Well noted, and yes.
That’s just the sort of thing that happens when spoiled, petulant children throw tantrums.

I suppose it just fits with their “nothing matters but the headline” method though

I really think that, from Trump on down, they sincerely just don’t have the emotional maturity to act any differently.
