"Podcaster Cari Champion pushed back on equating Floyd and Trump and had to stop Lyman multiple times from stepping back in as they argued back and forth about race and the standards of the current president. The fact that Trump is putting his name on every single thing and you want to normalize it like it's normal tells me that you're the problem and not the solution, Champion told Lyman during their debate."
"BRIANNA LYMAN: You know, I, to be honest, I didn't spend too much time looking at this because I didn t think it was that big of a deal given the grand scheme of things that happened this week. But I personally don't care that much, but I do find it funny, Paul, that you care and that the Kennedys care because no one in your party cared in 2020 when you guys were changing names of hospitals, parks, schools, streets, everything in the name of George Floyd."
"The board of the Kennedy Center, which Trump chairs, voted unanimously this week to add his name. The building now reads: The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing."
President Donald Trump's name was added to the Kennedy Center after the board, chaired by Trump, voted unanimously to append his name, changing the signage to read The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing. Critics noted the center's name was established by federal law and argued a congressional act would be required to change it. On CNN, panelists Cari Champion and Brianna Lyman clashed about the appropriateness of the renaming, with Lyman downplaying outrage and comparing it to 2020 renamings honoring George Floyd, while Champion rejected the comparison and criticized Trump's repeated self-branding and apparent instability.
