Larson Commends Court Order Reversing Trump Desecration of the Kennedy Center

East Hartford, CT - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) applauded a court ruling removing Donald Trump's name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and reopening the living memorial, on what would have been President Kennedy's 109^th birthday.

"As we mark President John F. Kennedy's 109^th birthday, I want to applaud Judge Cooper for making the right decision-ending President Trump's illegal desecration of the Kennedy Center," said Larson. "President Kennedy was a war hero and president who actually put the American people first. He was the furthest thing from Donald Trump one could imagine. I want to thank my colleague, Joyce Beatty, who sits on the board of the Kennedy Center, for standing up and challenging this president in court. While he may seek to place his name above our beloved former President, he will never have the impact, grace, or long-lasting legacy of John Fitzgerald Kennedy."
