The Kennedy Center board voted to close the center Tuesday after a tense meeting in which President Donald Trump called in to berate a Democratic congresswoman who serves on the panel, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
“It was f**king crazy,” said one source familiar with the exchange between Trump and Rep. Joyce Beatty, whose lawsuit has prevented Trump’s name from being added to the building.
Another source said Trump screamed, blaming Beatty for getting the courts involved and leading to the downfall of the performing arts center. Beatty told Trump he had put the Kennedy Center into deep debt, the third source said.
