‘Ruined this place’: chorus of boos against JD Vance at Washington concert
Attendance of vice-president – who once disbelieved that people listened to classical music for pleasure – strikes sour note at Kennedy Center in light of Maga takeover
Summary
JD Vance was loudly booed at a National Symphony Orchestra concert in Washington, delaying the start by 25 minutes due to security checks.
The backlash follows Trump’s hostile takeover of the Kennedy Center, where he appointed Vance’s wife, Usha, to the board and removed trustees.
Resistance to the changes has grown, with artists canceling performances and protests over cuts to LGBTQ+ programming.
Vance, a vocal cultural conservative, has criticized “woke” influences in the arts, while Trump vowed to eliminate “anti-American propaganda” from the institution.

It's really telling that this disingenuous, petulant fuck thinks teaching young men about concepts like consent, respect, and empathy is "suppressing every masculine urge." Y'know, because real "manly men" are unable to control their tempers, constantly worry about whether their performative masculinity is enough that nobody will think they're gay, and blame society for empowering women to avoid relationships with abusers.

Andrew Tate is their model for what a young man should be. That's why they brought him to America.
