Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell pushed back against reports that cast members of Les Misérables are planning to boycott a performance attended by President Donald Trump next month, calling any such move “unprofessional” and a sign of “intolerance.”
“We haven’t heard this rumor,” Grenell said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “But the Kennedy Center will no longer fund intolerance. Any performer who isn’t professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, won’t be welcomed.”
