MSNBC’s Joy Reid's habit of taking everything to eleven on the outrage scale continued on Thursday’s edition of The ReidOut as she suggested Nazi programming might be coming to The Kennedy Center after President Trump appointed himself the Center’s chairman. Additionally, Reid declared that the reason why Trump appointed himself is because “fascists are terrified of the arts.”
After recalling how some people are cancelling their performances at The Kennedy Center in protest, Reid claimed that is a sign of things to come, “Because here's the thing about the arts: you actually have to be able to sell tickets, sell out seats, people have to want to perform at and attend your venue, especially in the arts, which are historically underfunded throughout the world, and specifically, The Kennedy Center, which is a public-private partnership, relies on ticket sales for the vast majority of its revenue.”
Reid scoffed, “But with Trump at the helm, good luck finding those performers. Unless it's, like, Kid Rock, Kid Rock 365 days a year, Kanye West and his $20 swastika shirts, that one opera singer Trump swayed to with Kristi Noem for an hour. The Village People, has anyone ever actually explained the multiracial, gay icon Village People to America's Fredo Corleone? Let's see, who else? Amber Rose, maybe, or the assorted rappers who support Trump but are shunned by the culture.”
