Hey, so remember last week when the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts scored a sweet $25 million in the COVID19 relief bill? Remember when the Kennedy Center turned around and said they’d stop paying members of the National Sympathy Orchestra shortly thereafter?
Yeah, well, apparently the Kennedy Center is still not finished proving they didn’t deserve a single dime in relief money:
NEW: According to internal discussions and documents obtained by RCP, the Kennedy Center intends to furlough 60% of their full time staff.
Furloughs are expected on a rolling basis
This after already furloughing 725 part time staff and accepting $25 million in federal relief.

bet they'll still donate to the DNC

Oh, no doubt.
This is what is called a kickback. A portion of the money will end up in a DNC donation inbox.

That door isn’t going to revolve itself, you know.
We should demand a full dollar for dollar accounting of how that $25 million will be spent. https://t.co/B69AuYz1v2
