Duffy: "If you buy a used car, you drive it home, and you go to bed, wake up the next morning and drive to the store and it breaks down, is it your fault or did the guy you bought it from sell you a lemon? ... the fact the last administration did nothing should be reported."

Richard Grenell should be ashamed of himself, dragging the reputation of The Kennedy Center through the partisan mud of a dictator’s coup to legislate art, while unloading on artists who object to these sweeping autocratic gestures.
