Take that, Donald Trump. The View host Whoopi Goldberg revealed Thursday she has “no plans” to return to the Kennedy Center until it returns to “what it was supposed to be” in the time before the president took over.
Whoopi’s announcement came during Wednesday’s episode of the talk show, as she and her co-hosts discussed the Hamilton producers canceling the Tony Award-winning musical’s spring 2026 run at the Kennedy Center in D.C., the Wrap reports. In canceling, the producers explicitly cited Trump’s takeover as the reason, as Breitbart News reported.
“I understand why they did it, and I have no plans to go back to the Kennedy Center, until

Obviously we need a National Day of Prayer to get us through this crisis. Can America survive? Film at 11, join us on 60 Minutes, msnbc, and all the other nut job networks to help us deal with this calamity. Maybe if we build a grotto and place a statue of Whoopie in it. A quiet place where we can pay homage to her and light candles. I mean she does know best, she is the elite, our moral leader, the light to follow. s/o Idiot no one gets a crap what you do.

"canceling the Tony Award-winning musical’s spring 2026" Thereby putting the actors, stage crew etc. out of a decent payday.
And what does Whoopie do in her show? Comedy? Just curious. Not that I would go, but I was wondering what it was.

Hamilton is cultural appropriation. It can stay cancelled for all I care. And Whoopi has burned her bridges already. She can disappear as well.

Good riddance. Now the place can get cleaned up. They act like they're hurting someone by pulling out and canceling their crap events. Bye!

Karen -- for that and not Whoopi is indeed her name -- lives in Manhattan and probably gets to DC only rarely. Even before Trump, I doubt anyone at the Kennedy Center worried about her patronage. So this is just more virtue signaling of consequences that will never take place because the predicate conditions never existed.

There are many talented performers who can and will perform at the Kennedy Center. And be grateful for the opportunity.

I read, "The Kennedy Center's original purpose, envisioned by President Dwight Eisenhower, was to establish a national cultural center, a performing arts venue, to put Washington on par with other world capitals and showcase American arts to the world." I don't see how drag shows fit that purpose.
