Ric Grenell Condemns Broadway Actress Who Wants Kennedy Center ‘Blown Up’: ‘Radical Left Extremism’

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s envoy for special missions Ric Grenell condemned Broadway star Patti LuPone for giving “comfort to the crazies” with recent anti-Trump comments.

The New Yorker earlier this week published an interview in which the “Evita” star said that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts “should get blown up” now that Trump and Grenell have taken over.

“We should have every Democrat, every left-leaning person condemning what she said,” Grenell told Newsmax on Wednesday.

“Do I actually believe Patti Lupone is going to build a bomb and throw it inside the Kennedy Center? No, I don’t believe that. However, she is giving aid and comfort to the crazies.”

He then warned of the potentially dangerous influence the actress’ remarks could have.

“She is giving aid and comfort to somebody who says, ‘Patti LuPone wants me to go blow up the Kennedy Center.’ We need to call this out. This needs to stop — this radical Left extremism that’s morphing into violence. This has to stop.”

Fox News reported that Grenell described the far Left as “violent extremists” and said that “everyone should condemn these radicals.”

LuPone has been an outspoken critic of Trump over the years. In 2017, she claimed she would never perform for him because she “hates the mother****er.”

Along with firing the Kennedy Center’s president and chairman of the board upon his entrance in office, Trump expelled other board members who were appointed by the Biden administration. He told the new board that the former appointees spent “tremendous amounts of money,” The Daily Wire reported, and that he did not know what they spent it on.
