Abby Phillip Turns the Tables After Scott Jennings Defends Trump Renaming Kennedy Center for Himself: I'm Glad You Said That, Because'
"PHILLIP: What happens when the next Democratic president just decides, you know, We're gonna call it the Obama-Lincoln Memorial? We're just gonna slap, you know, Bill Clinton's name on something, anything arbitrarily. JENNINGS: So you're saying a Democrat would put Obama's name on a statue that isn't of him? That would make them look like the stupidest person that ever lived. PHILLIP: Well, I'm glad you said that, because the Kennedy Center is literally a congressionally-named memorial."
"JENNINGS: But it's a statue. It has a likeness. PHILLIP: So are you ready for a Democratic president to slap their name JENNINGS: Yep, I am. PHILLIP: arbitrarily on any. JENNINGS: I'm ready for Democrats to misname every statue in America. I think, to prove your point, I think that would be great for their party. Change all the names on the statues."
President Donald Trump renamed the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to include his name after the center's board, chaired by Trump and stocked with loyalists such as Attorney General Pam Bondi, Chief-of-Staff Susie Wiles, and Fox host Laura Ingraham, voted for the change. Trump's name was placed on the building the day after the announcement. CNN host Abby Phillip questioned Republican strategist Scott Jennings about the precedent given the center's congressional designation as a living memorial to JFK. Jennings defended the move and suggested Democrats would retaliate by renaming memorials.
