After becoming chair of the Kennedy Center last month, President Donald Trump announced that he is adding Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo to the board of the center.
“I am thrilled to announce that Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo will be joining our Kennedy Center Board – This completes our selection,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We look forward to restoring the Center to Greatness, and ushering in America’s Golden Age. Together, we will Make the Arts Great Again!”
Trump made the appointments after taking over the Washington, D.C., performance space not long ago. Trump chose to run the Kennedy Center himself last month, firing several long-time board members and putting his envoy for special missions, Richard Grenell, in charge of the center temporarily, The Hill noted.
“We will make The Kennedy Center a very special and exciting place!” he said at the time.
Several famous people have said they will not go back to the venue because of the move. One of these is comedian and TV host Whoopi Goldberg, who promised not to go back now that Trump is in charge.
