CNN anchor Kate Bolduan commented on the irony of President Trump's attendance at a performance of Les Miserables being streamed by PBS, an organization he seeks to defund. The discussion linked Trump's actions at the Kennedy Center to a broader effort to influence the arts and culture landscape in America. Analysts highlighted his previous attempts to reshape cultural institutions and mentioned protests from artists opposing Trump's involvement. The ongoing tension reflects a struggle between political agendas and public broadcasting.
BOLDUAN: And it's also one of many ways that we have seen, and people may forget all of the changes and the moves that the president has made since taking office a second time.
STELTER: It's streaming on the Public Broadcasting System, which Trump is trying to defund. We will see if Congress goes along with that effort.
