“Shame on you, American Idol. Inviting Lin Manuel to be a mentor to young people 3 weeks after Lin pulled his show from the Kennedy Center because he can’t work with Republicans is an obvious move to support political intolerance. We need performers who perform for everyone. Not radicals who litmus test the audience’s voting history. Dumb move, ABC.” – Homocon Kennedy Center executive director Richard Grenell, in a post tagging FCC chairman Brendan Carr with the obvious intention of retribution against ABC.
