CNN is facing backlash after falsely reporting that cast members of Les Misérables would boycott opening night at the Kennedy Center because of President Donald Trump’s attendance. Former Ambassador Ric Grenell, now head of the Kennedy Center, condemned the outlet as “sick and manipulative” for promoting what he called a baseless, politically charged narrative.
Kennedy Center President and Interim Executive Director Richard Grenell has publicly refuted an Associated Press (AP) report alleging that the venue canceled a week's worth of Pride-related events. Grenell asserted that no events were canceled by the Kennedy Center, emphasizing that organizers independently chose to relocate their programs.
