Joe Kennedy III: 'Don't be distracted from what this administration is actually trying to erase'


Joe Kennedy III @joekennedy
President John F. Kennedy believed that one day this country would live up to its promise of justice and equal rights for all. For those beliefs and for his sacrifice, Congress voted to make The Kennedy Center a living memorial to him, as a place built by the people for the people to celebrate what connects us.

While this trespass on the People’s will is painful, President Kennedy would remind us that it is not buildings that define the greatness of a nation. It is the actions of its people and its leaders.

So, do not be distracted from what this Administration is actually trying to erase: our connection, our community, and our commitment to the rights of all.

I have a bad feeling that he will tear down the Kennedy Center, and there is no one to stop him.

He already put his name on it. I could be wrong, but I don't see him tearing down anything with his precious name on it.

The "renovations" will no doubt be hideous, but maybe he'll do us all a favor and drop dead before things get every far. We can all hope, anyway.

and probably tear down/destroy most of what's associated with Pres. Kennedy, and replace with cheap trinkets praising his "greatness." He can't help it, it's what he is---a monstrous narcissist.

I wish Joe Kennedy III was still in the House of Representatives.
He could attract many millennials and Gen Z voters come November.

Just think, his father is RFK Jr's older brother. He obviously takes after his father and grandfather, not his Uncle Bobby, which is great to see.
